Again, this is like saying a human should never ever take aspirin, maalox, or any other home medication on the
off chance that they may have an emergency.
A good surgeon knows how to mitigate the effects of home medications and deals with it all the time. If they can't, why are they still doing surgeries....???
I really don't mean to be argumentative here, Kellie, but I just don't understand the logic of letting animals suffer on the
off chance that there
could be an emergency instead of alleviating their pain through using aspirin or a tummy med - just as we would for a
HUMAN.
I would choose to alleviate the animal's pain. Just my opinion.
