My long time vet was awesome like that. He would tell me if I didn't
need something I asked for. So, I knew to trust him when he did think
I needed to do something. Unfortunately, he retired. Not a surprise
since he had been our vet for 30 years. But definitely a bummer. I
really do like my new vet. She really listens to me and after seeing
me and my cat a few times, she knows that I have a good sense of my
cat and how she is doing. She also looked over my paperwork and xrays
from the previous vet.

I;ll check it out. If I win, I would donate it to my friend's rescue
group. I adopted my first Ragdoll from them, and we later became good
friends.
