I have heard more bad things about Pender than good. My personal experience with them was not positive. I would suggest to take your fuzzie to Austin Vet clinic in Annanadale (just off the beltway on RT 236) 703.941.5300 Dr Jean Wardell is a WONDERFUL vet. In Woodbridge, there is the famous Dr. Kawaski, 703.690.2580. Either of those would be much better than Pender. Nan and SuperSnooper [Posted in FML issue 2943]
