>  Glad to see your back on the digest. Sorry to hear about Onyx. I know how

> her illness at the end, that's not counting all the other vet visits 
> before that. After all that, we still lost her to the cancer. I don't care 
> how much money it was though, I would have paid anything to save her. It's

> credit card bill for a while, but it was worth it to me to try to save 
> her. Unfortunately, it just didn't work for her either. I hope you find
