I'm glad he is back, and you are happier! I think the approach you are taking now is very logical, with his best interests at heart. Perhaps you could call around and find a vet willing to drain him at home, if he requires it again. It doesn't seem like anything that should require a sterile

Hi Guys, First I'd like to apologize for not keeping up with the list and offering support as usual. Life has been quite hectic/draining around here as you can imagine and I just haven't been able to. I appreciate your allowing me to be selfish in leaning on you when I'm not reciprocating.
