Hi Linda ~
 
Please do not feel like a bad "Mommy" because your fuzzy gets sick.  None
of us know when this will happen.  As long as you give them love and
affection that's a big plus.  And, you are taking them to the vet, and
that's a big thing.  I know some owners who complain about the vet bills.
It seems to be a common reaction of owners when a pet gets sick we feel
inadequate.  Remember none of us can predict the future for our fuzzies.
 
Warmly ~
