I myself do trust the authoritative journals written by and for small animal veterinarians, after all that is what they go to school for so many years to learn. Many vets do not retain all that information unless they breed themselves so experienced breeders do have a wealth of information which can be a great help. I was just trying to share what I thought was good information. |
I appreciate all of the knowledge that my brain can possibly soak up, whether it comes from books or the knowledge of breeders that have the hands on training. I imagine each case is different so it is so helpful to have many different views and personal experiences to keep in the back of my mind for when that time comes that I may need to pull it out and use it. Thanks for your help.
