DESPERATE TO GET INTO VET SCHOOL!
"I just wonder how many of the people applying for vet school
actually know what a starting vet gets paid (not much) and

to be!" SILVERMODEL

OSTEOSARCOMA ADVICE NEEDED
"I have been told that amputation of his left fore leg
and chemotherapy are perhaps an option, although the
life extension would be minimal for such treatment and
potential pain." ANNAHOLT
