Hi Dee, I understand your frustration with finding a vet. I haven't found one I'm crazy about yet, and I live close to Dallas! One thing I learned the hard way is that I will NEVER take my cats to a large animal clinic EVER again. I almost lost a cat at one, and ended up nursing him back to health myself. Good luck finding a good vet. I hope you find one you love!
