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 ~ Mary L. Conley, ND, Herbalist Conley Farm Organic Herbs Online Classes Private Consultations [Posted in FML issue 4160]
