One of Florida’s big concerns is Lake Okeechobee, the lake that should be sending water to the drying Everglades. Instead, it’s held poorly in place by dikes and canals, all of which need constant maintenance by the US Corp of Engineers and other groups. But now the lake has become very polluted by farms and development around Orlando. The polluted water that leaves the lake under controlled outflow has damaged the waters of the Treasure Coast and its tourist industry. And, BigAg, in the form of BigSugar, plays a role in this story with no easy fix. Read the story by Kait Parker of The Weather Channel here: www.toxiclake.com

Please help if you can, and please boost the signal.
I once had a cat who had this same problem, 15 yrs ago, and it was $800. I can well believe that such an op is even more expensive, along w/ everything else.
