I do understand (no matter how hard it is) that it takes 12 full weeks to determine the results from our Food Trial but...........my baby is miserable and their are a lot of medicines out there that can give him some relief. We did get a shot and it helped for 3 days only. He put Finn on Zyrtec, well as I tried to tell him we have done that allready but he just rolled his eyes. I am going back to our country doc, he atleast lets me voice my concerns! Have any of you had problem with vet thinking we are totally stupid? I was only trying to suggest a different kind of food, that didn't go over at all! Gina From Kentucky!
I know exactly how you feel! I took my baby to the vet the woman I got him from recommended and I was on YT and had done all this research and I swear he got so defensive and plain nasty, like I was questioning his authority.. look this is my baby, and I not going to let you do whatever you want to him just because you are the vet. Well instead of answering my questions, he made me more skeptical about him as a vet. Needless to say that was the first and last time I saw him, plus he had awful bedside manner, which is very important to me. I found a vet that I am really happy about now and she lets me ask her a million questions and even called me after Maxi got his shot to make sure he was okay.
