Very interesting, thanks for posting that. Doubtful anything could be done about it at this point, but certainly informative.
We just took my Daughter's 2 dogs in yesterday, one a 15.5 yr old Dachshund the other a 10 month old Pyrenees and Corgi mix (yeah I know, how does happen).
Left with a bottle of anitboitics, nothing nneeded for the 10 month old pup.
Bill was just shy of $200.00, pretty reasonable visit (small town Deep East Texas). Daughter remarked that the same visit would have been well North of $500.00 in California where she lives.
