It's very obvious that you love Colombo a great deal and that you take excellent care of him, so you should not feel guilty. I took my little girl to the vet often because I wanted to be able to catch something early should there be a health issue that I wasn't aware of. It gave us peace of mind, and I believe in being proactive. Ashley lived a month shy of seventeen. I also strongly believe in keeping our babies' teeth cleaned and that keeping on top of dentals is the best thing that we can do to keep them healthy. You are a great mom. Do what you feel comfortable with. |
