 The emergancy clinic we took our Cosmo to when he hurt his leg had
one and it is fascinating! Until you find out how much it cost.

And you have to wonder : was that expense actually necessary???

Chancesa re : No. I'd say use it if and when conventional means fail
to diagonose/treat the condition. In Cosmo's case it was a sprain.
((he had gotten up on the dang ledge out back again.. Sigh.. ))

The interesting part about that was the dog I had been dog sitting sat
by him protectively until I got back from popping into the house for a
minute.. She was so sweett!!! (A bassett hound, very motherly! ))
