<p>Donna, please don’t feel embarrassed! I have two cats and a dog, and I worry about them more than I worry about our kids! Because kids, I guess, can express themselves with words 
I keep calling my personal veterinary advisor (my sister’s words :)) every time one of my pets sneezes. She usually tells me that there is nothing to worry about, but a couple of times she diagnosed serious ilnesses just from my description of the symptoms (confirmed by my pets’ vet). I’m glad that Ziggy is OK. Phew…</p>
