I have to admit that I've been shocked over the past five or so years at the utter unavailability of veterinarians!!! I'm not understanding what's happening to that career field. When the Pom got a foxtail in his ear and was so so so miserable, no one would help. Not even the emergency vet!!! I had to wait over two weeks for them to "fit him in"! I was flabbergasted. What era are we living in when we are doing our own animal care at home?
