that is the group that taught me a ton about it and yes you are so right you have to do your homework and why i joined the groups as not real impressed with vet profession so i go to specialists with anything serious such as orthopedics, opthamologist,dermatologist dentist, internist, and dr dodds who specializes in blood work and titers. Nothing but the best for my kids. I am about 20k in vet bills with my 3 so i have learned the hard way and why i try to help so many others with theirs now. I joined 64 dog groups on yahoo, 4 yorkie and maltese panels and educate myself daily to keep mine healthy as i have lost faith in vets and still needing a good local vet -- I think they are fine for basic stuff like spay, neuter, ear infection but when it gets more serious i get mine to a specialist as you will end up there any way so why not get the answer upfront less costly in the long run |
