Thanks for the update on Trevor. I’m glad to know that he is now at peace and his people realize that all that could have been done was done. I think that’s one of the hardest things - the wondering and “what ifs”!

I know, but I just wrote to her,anyway. I like to read her writing, too.

I always enjoy super-mega-busy Dr. Tony’s posting. I am intrigued by the stories about the emergency hospital happenings.

You attract such good writers, all of them that post and comment. You are a magnet in attracting and extracting interesting “stuff” from us humans.

My husband was talking to me so forgot to finish the sentence above. He thinks I spend too much time on the computer instead of paying attetion to him.

The sentence above should read: I was reluctant to bring up my daughter’s profession because psychically I felt it would get a strong response from someone, positive or whatever.

Silence is golden, Gina (which I never learned, big-mouth me) but I will ask Dr. Narda. I was reluctant to bri

However, with your writing skills and engaging abilities, you might have a better chance at getting super-mega-busy Dr. Narda to write.

However, I will ask her about it. After all, I have a “big mouth”. :)

Being super-mega-busy is no excuse. :)

Well, it seems to work for me!

Thanks, all for the positive feedback. I live for your praise! :)

I am sad to report that Trevor lost his battle after another surgery and another week in ICU. The abscess was caused by a fungus, which is a near untreatable situation to be in. He is at peace now, which is the most important thing, and the owners and all those caring for him know that they did their very best. Thanks to all of you who wished him, and us, the best. You are a very kind lot and this website is a special place to be involved in. I am honored, humbled and happy to be a part of it.

My daughter, the vet, has performed many miracles for my pets, as well as for many others at CSU, although not in the emergency room.

However, my apple tree refused to grow apples this year. What to do, I ask myself.

Veterinarians are such a special lot—their motivation (with exceptions) seems to be for the welfare of animals and their owners rather than be the richest and most powerful person around. I cannot sing their praises enough!

That makes me cry. Been there, done that at a vet school, had the miracle.
