I am sorry to hear about Opal - it is hard to watch your furbabies be in pain or frightened, so I know how helpless you feel. I hope the vet comes back with some good news. I am glad you are able to come here and share and know that you will find sympathy and kindness. People who don't love animals just cannot understand how deeply they can be a part of you. They really do become family! I will keep you in my thoughts. {hugs}
