I too offered to send a few boluses but didn't hear anything back.

Ok, I've got the address. I'm going by the weights you posted earlier but what about the bottle baby? If they're deficient then shouldn't he have one as well? What's his approximate weight?

Try petting zoos, they would be really socialized and well cared for, as long as you can get them back when you are ready.

I certainly wouldn't say all for nothing. The knowledge you have gained can last you a lifetime and be shared over and over. Wish you were here to teach me!

Not sure where you'll be moving to - nor if your parent(s) would approve, but I bet there are a lot of folks that would dearly love to have someone as responsible and knowledgeable as you to critter sit, especially with animals for whom its vital to have daily care such as milking. I know its a real hassle for us any time we want to get away for a few days... and we have only poultry, rabbits, a dog and a cat.

Could be a productive use of your skills and a way to make extra $$ for starting over when the time is right.

And remember Bricheze, no one can "force you to give up". Only you can give up
