Now that is a novel approach--a wet washcloth. I always HATE it when they put them under to x-ray. Think I'll try it out on one of mine, just to see how they react. And I will mention it to my vet, too. Thanks, Bobbie! And Becca, Bobbie is correct--quit beating yourself up so badly. We have ALL learned a lot through trial and error and caring--of those three, caring is the most important part.
