[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 333744, member: 1963"] I hope it works; Merlin (a cat) wore the orange vest and had medical paperwork on him at all times. Canadian law is written for "service animals", but despite that, Merlin was barred from a lot of places, especially food service establishments. I was astonished when I heard that Merlin had appointed himself a service "dog", but I cannot see where he'd have been more objectionable than a dog. He didn't even walk on the floors. He rode on a sort of lap board across the arms of his owner's wheelchair. This child had life threatening seizures that required treatment with IV medications to break them. Having a service animal meant that the little girl could be gotten to the hospital or medicated before the seizure actually happened. Interestingly, Merlin's mother could detect when husband's blood counts were down and he needed a transfusion. Her entire behavior around him changed; she became clingly and extremely vocal. [/QUOTE]
