Ask the vet

There is a great deal of "free" advice out there, these days regarding pet care and alternative resources. I wanted to take a moment to be a little pragmatic.

If you don't know what it is, where it came from, and you can't seem to solve it on your own --- Ask your vet. Often a veterinarian's office will give you alternative remedies to try before you come into the office for a visit. Remember, they've seen it, treated it and in most cases, cured it.

If you don't have a veterinarian yet, call your local ASPCA or check on line at the American Animal Hospital Association for a veterinary office near you. (url below for animal hospital directory.)
