I can understand that vets don't necessarily have the time or patience to try to explain why something found online is wrong, but honestly a good vet would do their best to do so.

We went through four vets before we found the right one and one of the previous vets was like that (slightly). Not impressed and we don't see him anymore either... It's my dog's life we are talking about. Any vet of hers should be able to hold a conversation with me about what we are doing for her and why and what we can change to make her feel better.

And if a vet is unwilling to learn from their clients and thinks they know everything, that's a good indication that it's time to find a new one.

I research probably way too much and always have tons of questions and ideas. Ellie's vet takes massive amounts of time (for a vet that is) to work "with" us and answer questions because we are the ones that have to follow through at home and be comfortable with things.

About farm vets, some are great, but some are behind the times and safety is compromised with old anesthetic protocol, etc., so I'd be very careful about using an old time vet.
yep i agree as many use ket-val which is not as safe as propofol and would not let my dogs get ket-val ever

you never know what kind of vet you have until your dog is sick sadly then you find out real quick. If more serious go to specialist it will cost less in long run.

I am very passionate about this topic can you tell lol but have been through the ringer so learned alot during this whole process and not real impressed with what goes on
