Thanks to all who are concerned. No, I have not taken Dante to the vet. I am without a car since Feb.08. As with many folks today, I am trying to get by in survival mode. The recipes I found on the web did not have the charcoal/eucalyptus in the ingredients. I am going to purchase some til I make my own. Is there a reputable online seller that you can recommend? Thanks again, Warm regards...bobbi (tilliejones)
