lol.. Im sorry but this statement made me laugh. I too am on several different message boards and YT is the most dramatic board I have ever been on. Some people on here purposely post things that they no will cause trouble and drama and some people are just down right nasty about certian things that it just blows my mind and heaven forbid you call them out on it then your the one that's wrong for doing so and dont forget the famous statement, "well this is a public message board so I can post what I want, if you dont like then dont read it"
However, I have also met some really nice people that generally do care about how they post and they are willing to help you when you truly need it and no matter what the topic is, they keep every post respectful. I have learned a ton on this board and I have enjoyed reading about and seeing everyone little furbabies.
I tend to panic when it comes to my animals and kids so a small incident to some would be a big deal for me, however Im very lucky to have a friend that lives less than 5 minutes away from me that is a vet tech and has been one for many years and is always there to tell me what is a true emergency and whats not and she has saved me hundreds of dollars in vet bills. Obviously this is not the case for most people so running to the vets everytime your dog sneezes would get costly and now a days who has that kind of money?? SO I can compeletly understand why people have a tendency to post on here and ask whether or not they should take thier pets to the vets. Some people just dont know what a true emergency is so they ask. How many times have people come back from the vets to post a thank you for the help?Ive seen quite a few since sept. when I joined. So those of you who post often in that section should be proud of yourselves for helping those folks out, not starting a post like this one and critcizing those who didnt know what else to do.
