Haven't read all the prior posts, but here's my perspective.
I do not rely 100% on any vet's opinion for several reasons.
- Many were trained long ago and do not keep up very well with recent research
- If they weren't trained long ago, then they were trained recently, and don't have that many years of real experience
(That's right, the vets just can't win with me, haha!)
- Even if a vet has the perfect balance of semi-recent training and semi-good years of experience, most of their patients are not yorkies
- I get the best advice from Yorkie Talk, because the folks on here have seen thousands of Yorkies over the years, and are so familiar with breed-specific issues.
London goes to the vet all the time, but before I follow the doctor's advice, I always check with YT. |
