Don't worry, Blueduck (re:foxtails)

I take care of my animals better than most people care for their children! We've already been to the vet and glory, hallelujah!! Not a foxtail to be found! I was just being paranoid....
Cassiopeia, Queen of All Dogs ;) did however, have a slight limp that the vet diagnosed as possible arthritis. Which he (of course) tried to prescribe some pharmaceutical. ( Note to all: ALL pharmaceuticals (whether for animals or humans) are synthetic and not recognized by the cell receptors of the body.) They create free radicals which lead to other worse damage than the condition you started out with. Beware of vets (and doctors) who try to push their drugs on you and your animals. I smiled and told the vet that both me and my pet are 100% natural and drug free! Of course he tried to sell me on his dogma (pardon the pun) but he's up to his eyeballs in everything he's learned about drugs from the pharmaceutical companies so didn't have much room for new information in his melon.
