Awww I am sorry for your children's pain as well!
Our Thor has had issues since we got him and all the vets are saying that a natural diet is our last resort before having to let him go to be pain-free. We have done all we can aside from 2000$ in testing (not treatment..just tests), and with us both unemployed ( i am in school and the economy got Rob

), we are at the last straw. We prepared the kids and just Thinking of it had them upset! He is doing a little better on his new diet so we are VERY hopeful. I know how much your heart breaks when your kids hurt for their pet though
Give them extra hugs from all us!!!
