Deb, I know how difficult that must have been to write...I bawled just reading it. But some how, some way, Minnie's death will not be in vain. She was a little trooper 'til the end. Somebody out there will read this, somebody with a sick baby...maybe even me, and will understand how important it is to continue to seek, until you are able to find medical care. I too do not have easy access to a 24 hour emergency vet...I would have to drive for hours to find one. But after reading this, I think if anything were to happen to Winston, and the vet told me to take him home and keep him comfortable, that there would be no one at the office to stay with him ...I would immediately be in my car looking for that 24 hour ER Vet...and I'd keep driving until I found one or he took his last breath. I will always and forever keep this in my mind...Minnie lived for a reason and she died for one too. May you some how find peace and comfort...Minnie would want you to be happy and smile when you think of her. Of course I know it's the hardest thing in the world to do right now, but remember her and do it with a smile. Love, Kathy
