Thank you for this advice. I assume you agree with how I see it, as well? I have calmed down and now feel guilty and ashamed for all I have put my poor husband through today. As he said, this is so not like me - I have been worried for too long, I guess. Other things are happening in my life which are also causing great stress so I guess this is why I totally 'lost it'. I will make another judgement tomorrow. It is good to know that I am within my rights to change vets mid way through treatment. The problem is finding another one.

Do vets in the US leave animals alone overnight if they seem to be fine? I bet they don't! Thanks again. xx
