I agree. The vet is probrably your best bet.  Believe me my vet and er clinic know me by my first name.  I always call them with random questions. That is what they are there for though ? right?  I work in the medical field and have people calling all the time with questions.  Just know that there is always someone else at your vets office doing the same thing so they will not think that you are nuts or bothering them!
