Nina, I hope Grace continues to improve. I know how it feels to be so overwhelmed with animals! Just take it one day at a time. Hopefully the holistic vet will be helpful. I took my first positive, CC, to a holistic vet when she was sick the first time and it was very helpful. Take care of yourself. Let the house go a bit....... but not enough that we see you on the evening news! ha.
