Would it be better if these people weren't asking questions at all?
I don't look much in the Emergency thread, so maybe I'm missing the posts that are upsetting people so much. BUT, from my limited perspective, it seems to me that as long as people are trying to learn how to care for their pets, they should not be judged.
Thor's previous owner told me she went to the vet four times because she didn't understand what reverse sneezing was. I'm not sure why the vets didn't tell her, but she spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a question that she could easily have had answered here. So I think it works both ways. Reverse sneezing sounds horribly scary, but usually does not merit a trip to the vets office. Yes, maybe it seems like some people lack common sense, but if that's the case, are they supposed to magically acquire it? If you don't know, ask a question. That's my philosophy. |
