I saw my vet today and she told me that she and another vet went to the National American Veterinary Conference in Florida 2 years ago ( the same year the Patriots won the superbowl) She said she could not remember the name of the doctor but would look it up and let me know.

[Hmmmm, not sure and could easily be wrong, but
I think that one of our FHL vets, Dr. Jerry Murray
may have been a presenter at that conference, so
***IF*** my recollection is correct on that score I
think we'd have run into these concepts before.
They just are so different from what I can find that is
written and what people have found works in practice
usually, though there is variation in response for the
second one.
