I knew nothing when I first got Ellie...so no reason to worry.
Then Ellie had a vaccine reaction and I joined YT.
Now every little bump and spot and noise gets analyzed but it works for us because I've caught some issues with her this way. I am a bit more relaxed now when something goes wrong (if she hurts herself, etc.) because I have some idea what to do from studying all the time. If I wouldn't have gotten Ellie bile acids tested (seemed pretty much unnecessary to most), we would still be giving her NSAIDs after surgery and using the wrong anesthesia.

Just remember though, there are 40,000 members here. So when looking at it that way, there aren't that many emergencies...
