I can't do it. I can't make myself give him medication that makes him feel crappy.
I believe strongly in quality of life over quantity. For every species. But especially for pets who trust us so completely with their well-being.
I know that my vet worked with me for years finding the best treatments for Kittenish that also gave her the best quality of life.

Talk things over with your vet, of course, but Harvey's happiness is important. Don't discount that.
I totally agree on quality of life.
If I had _only_ known Bartleby's true condition, I would never, ever have gone to extraordinary measures. He seemed happy enough, but it had to be incredibly painful. His happiness and well-being were always paramount in my heart. So, yeah, I'm with you Andi.

I had to go see what the fuss was about and EEPS! I think the site may be run by soul-sucking demons.
Ugh, a little TMI whine: I thought I was all better and could drop the yeast diet this week, but ONE DAY off it and my
rash
came back. Phooey. So back on I guess. Just roasted some almonds; I hope they get me through any cravings today.

twitchitytwitchtwitch uh, not me. no ma'am. never touch the stuff.
Seriously, just talking about it brings the impulse back.
