VerifiedHello! I'm Dr. Angela, the veterinarian who will be helping you today. Thank you for bringing your question to JustAnswer!
Just to let you know, JustAnswer will probably ask you if you want to talk over the phone. That message isn't coming from me, it's an offer from the website to buy an upgrade to a phone call. I'm not able to talk on the phone right now, but I'm happy to help you through this chat module. It can take a couple of minutes for messages to go through sometimes, so please don’t be concerned if there’s a bit of a delay between our responses.
Also, I want to make sure that I’m fully answering your question, so if anything I say is confusing or doesn’t seem to make sense, please let me know so I can clarify!
You’re very welcome! If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know - I’m happy to help! I'm not always online, but I do get a notification when I have a new reply, and will check back in as soon as I'm available. I hope Blueberry feels better soon!
