Comment	Dear Expert, First of all, thank you very much for responding to my question so promptly. And, secondly, thank you for placing my mind at ease by giving me clear, concise and caluable information, As responsible pet owners we want our four legged children to be as well cared for as every other member of the family. And, when something such as this happens that you feel you could've or should've prevented it makes one feel worse for any distress it may cause the pet. Nevertheless, thank you. We've given our pet a bath and wiped his clean (with his dental wipes) and, she's been sleeping. I will follow your advice. This is a wonderful service that I did not know existed. I Googled and, there you were. Once again, I can't thnk you enough. Sincerely, Sasha Smith Proud Yorkie Mom

PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING TO ME: I am NOT a vet and do NOT diagnose diseases. That is only for a licensed Veterinarian to do. I will give you suggestions and steer you toward calling your vet for help. You can call the vet's office and talk to the technician there or the vet at times. Don't be afraid to call them! If you have a serious issue with your pet please post it to one of the veterinarians in here- I will tell you the same thing in my answer. IF your pet is injured or in an emergency situation, CALL YOUR VET- Do not wait and post in here. Just call the vet's office and get them in to see the vet right away. Critical treatment time is lost if you seek answers here when you should have your precious pet at the vets!! Don't sit at home waiting for an answer when your pet is critically ill or injured!! I can answer most questions about small animal and wildlife care as well as small animal nutrition. I can also answer questions about all phases of dental care for small animals. I DO NOT answer questions about birds (unless it is wildlife or songbirds) or HAMSTERS/GERBILS/CHINS/GUINEA PIGS/REPTILES/FROGS/RABBITS/PET BIRDS OF ANY KIND so please submit these questions to the appropriate sections. I, as well as other experts in here, do NOT do homework questions- that is for YOU to do! Please respect these rules for all of us. Thanks!
