    Changing Vets?

    I'm glad you're getting a second opinion and possibly trying out a different vet. I went through this, too, and was so happy to find a vet that was a much better fit. I happened to chat about this with my nephew who is a vet tech. He had comments that might help you, especially the last one :)...

    Would A Polyp Cause Intermittent Problems?

Millie has primarily been fed wet food for...

    Thank you, Willowy. Are you suggesting the dry food may be enough to create such added pounds?
