[nagdu] flying, changes, and vet visit

[Larry D. Keeler]

If the vet recommends it, well that's what I would do!  Holly had some 
issues when we got home but they only lasted a week or so.  Also, when we go 
somewhere for the weekend, sometimes Holly wouldn't eat much.  Se4nce she 
drinks, I don't worry about her because she scarfs when she gets home!
