Is any of your health problem related to work? If so, it may be Work Comp. If you are located in Orange, San Diego or Imperial counties, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.

Re: fmla

Yes. Applying for FMLA certifies you are too sick or too 'something' tp be able to work, so working/volunteering at another job outside the home while on FMLA would be reasonably viewed by your employer as fraud. And, since you admit you were 'saving a dog', how is it "insane" for them to say you were 'saving a dog'?
