Hi,
I joined this site nearly five years ago when my cat, Pablo, first got sick. Since then, I have found so much wisdom and incredible knowledge here, and I'm grateful for the folks who take the time to post with so much thoughtfulness and care. I regret that I never started my own thread for Pablo because I'm sure I would have gotten the support I needed to question my vet and push for more aggressive treatment when it was appropriate. Instead, I write this a day before my boy will be euthanized after a long struggle with IBD.
Newbies, take heed: Make use of this site and it's wonderful community. The combined knowledge here is astounding, and I am thankful for what everyone here is contributing and continuing to build.
