You are constantly impressing me with your attention to detail and sleuthing out potential problems. If not THE problem at least one that needs considered seriously by the vet. I think maybe you missed your calling! The vet community could use a mind like yours! Diagnosticians are hard to come by! I find myself saying, "Aha!" and "Yes!" a lot when I read your posts. I am glad you are here to provide insight. I am willing to bet you have helped a great many pups -- probably a lot more than you know. Just reading your posts is an educational experience for many! Just want to say
THANKS!
