So many thumbs going on !

Exactly! I had *so* much learning to do after Wylie's diagnosis - and I don't know what I would've done w/out the internet -and- without all the support everyone gave me here during Wylie's very looooong diagnosis period.

But yes, the internet cannot take the place of a competent Vet.
