I have found, in dealing with veterinarians up and down the Eastern seaboard (my DH was in the Navy), that they may all go into that field because they want to help animals, but some of them are more compassionate than others. Many of them just go into automatic mode... "oh yeah, it's got worms, worm it, it's got fleas, spray it, it's got a URI, medicate it" and forget that what you have is a tiny life that is on the brink of starvation and can be tipped either way by any kind of stress. But don't dwell on it. You did the best you could and gave the poor baby food and love. You gave her a chance, which she wouldn't have had if you hadn't found her. You're my hero of the week.
