Yes, you are exactly right. But, I was 15 years old when I had my 4 week old, no Internet back 15 years ago & my vet didn't tell me

Luckily, she turned out fine. Didn't think of this.
Oh, I moved from S.Beach up a bit north to a city Bal Harbour. We live in a more reasonable 5th level condo here

But, yeah, I didn't think of this...
