Mike...so sorry to hear about Baxter. We all know how much you love this little dog and what he means to you. We will definitely keep you both in our prayers. Poor little guy.
Explain your situation to your vet....I bet he remembers what it was like to be in college and to live on Ramen noodles...I know I certainly remember those days.
You take it easy, hon. You have alot of people here who care about you and who will
always be here for support when you need it.
