OH~~~I forgot to mention...my new vet has a much nicer building...and more than being so nice...it's clean! Which is very important to me...AND...I can reach him after hours on his cell phone...a lot of vets in my area no longer have that...they tell you to go to the Animal Emergency Hospital...EVERYONE I've ever known who took a pet there was charged $300...at least...and you HAVE to pay FIRST!!
