[tri-med] Re: Botox for drooling

Delilah does okay with them, but we've recently noticed that she's "juicier"
than before. She's at 1/3 of a patch now and I think it may be time to
increase how much we expose. It's also hard to tell since she's been off and
on antibiotics for almost 2 months (for UTIs & C-diff). How old is Hannah
and how much does she weigh?
