Hi Carol, Since I chose to respond to your e-mail personally, not publicly, I am somewhat dismayed that you thought my answer to you was rude and replied this publicly. You are simply giving me the best advice YOU know how, and I appreciate that. I also thought I made myself clear that I go to an award-winning vet, who has 70 employees and the best equipment, and also a teaching position at Tufts University. I would Die for my dogs. I am sorry you thought I was out of place. I guess I should follow your advice and contact an opthamologist immediately. Thank you so much. I did not see anything rude in my remarks, but I apologize if you interpreted them that way. I can see right away from your first remarks below that you did not intend to be rude.
