As we see on a thread like this people get very sensitive when it comes to the health of their pets and rightly so.....
If you have ANY question concerning the well-being of you dog that may threaten its health in any way it's your responsibility to have a professional look into it These pups are in your care
and they need you to be vigilant in their protection and caring for their health
While a forum can be helpful in answering questions
It is in NO WAY a replacement for getting answers from a Vet
That being said ... I don't want people shying away from posting medical questions because sometimes what you think might not be a potential problem ... someone else may pick up on and tell you what it is
