BTW - it's never a good idea to leave a pet being taken care of by someone who knows nothing about animals.in the future, try to get a pet owner who can recognize a real problem! There are professional pet services that can be pricey, but if you call a rescue group, they can often recommend a responsible and reliable rescuer in your area who also moonlights by caring for pets when owners are away! Having a pet is like having a child; always leave pertinent info, contacts in emergencies like vet offices, relatives or friends who can help while you are away.
