Gia, I understand your feelings here! I am also a
nurse, but this is all new to me, as I work for a urology doctor. I
had to go back and research the workings of the immune system and refresh
myself. Having done wildlife (orphaned
squirrel) rehabilitation in the past, I do know that it's much
easier to find a complacent vet practice that stays afloat on wellness
care. Nothing wrong with that, but it's just not enough for our cats,
who are the loves of our life, the furry little pieces of our
hearts. I have the utmost respect for this list because I have
found their advice to be much more aggressive, positive and accurate
than anything I've heard from a vet.
For as much you are having to pay, and
for as much travel as you have to do, since you live in the country, I
hope you are able to find the very best. A vet is providing
you a service of not only their expert advice, but of personalized
concern and care.
I'm not sure where you live, but I do know that
since I live pretty near Texas A&M, my community probably has more than
our share of vets. But more importantly, Aggies keep a close
network of alumni. If there is any way I can help, please let me
know.
Sandy C.
