There are some very educated members here that do know alot but they are not there to look at your dog see how it's acting and most are not vets. While one person can say oh it looks like a rash your fine when in fact it is something life threatning.
If it is serious enough to post about using titles such as Help 911, Emergency please help anything like that then i IMPO belive it's prob emergency enough to GO TO THE VET!!
Allthough some members may have had the same type of situatuion as you it's important to go to your vet to get a diagnosis before asking for help. I think it's great if after the vet you come on and post your experiance for others to learn from.
I am not starting this thread because of anyone thread i am just worried that a dog may die waiting for thier owner to get an answer from someone online 
When Peeka got the Bully stuck in his mouth i didn't come on and say OMG Please 911 what do i do i ran him to my vet immidiatly and then posted the story later. I am just so worried about some of the dogs Please take them to the vets only they can tell you for sure what is the matter.
sorry i am off my soap box for today i really am sincere and not trying to be rude i hope you all see it that way  |
Great post!!! I have noticed lately alot of calls for help!! I would call a vet first, even if it has to be en emergency vet as this is all a part of being a breeder. The information on YT is great, dont get me wrong, but going to a vet for hands on evaulation is the best choice. I dont post veterinary help because I am not a vet or vet tech and I would feel horrible if I gave out the wrong advice. Its best to be prepared, educated and already have notified your vet BEFORE you breed!! Pre whelping vet exams should already have been done as well.
