Thank you so much for your kind reply! After reading others' experiences on YT, reading your reply and speaking with a co worker of mine who used to be a veterinary technician (I talked her ear off but she talked me through the procedure and made me feel more at ease)- I feel much better about it all! I am going to try to be confident and strong over the next few days so that I do not make Gretchen feel stressed out at all. She's the fearless one
I know that this is the best thing I can do for her health so on Friday, off to the vet we go! I will keep you updated on her
