Thanks, Julie! I'm still having crazy dreams about running out of gas (and I still find myself looking to see if gas stations have gas as I drive by...yikes)...but other than that, things seem to be back to normal! :)
I think the guy who contacted me (James) is looking into importing Virbagen to try to help his fur-baby (Lea)...he found the email (Google) that I had posted to the group as far as writing a letter to the FDA asking for permission to import...I told him if there is anyway his vet can work out something with my vet, I've got the approval letter...it just needs to be ordered! I've had to put off buying it as all available funds are going towards Ewok's chemo...it took nearly a *year* for my vet to finally get approval, I didn't want James to have to wait that long, especially if Lea only has a few months! :( I'll be sure to pass along your email...he and his wife are super-sweet and very heart-broken by the diagnosis...they're willing to try anything! **************************************************** "But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
