But there were absolutely no resources. By that I mean, no vets, no qualified clinics/hospitals, nothing at all available.
I cried for months and months after that. I still tear up thinking about the circumstances and my desperation.
Until this day it was a hard lesson to learn. My pets stay in my nest where I can access help if needed. I travel often but rarely does it cross my mind to take my pets anywhere. I just have cats today and it is easier. They sure as hell don't want to get in either the carrier or the car.
