You're welcome, I'm sure that we all care about you + Echo Lina and want to see you both stress free and enjoying life ! Dorgendo posted that the value was not included in all that info you posted and so not sure where that number came from. The vet you're with now sounds more reasonable so it's good that you went back there. I'd still try raw honey on the black area, it works better in many hard to cure cases. Maybe try that after leaving it alone for a week or so.
