I agree completly, if I don't have the dog in front of me I can't judge the buldging or the intesity of the contractions, that is why I rather be safe than sorry when advising online. I am a very level headed person when it comes to emergencies, that is why my mentors love me, even with my own dogs, and with my son being in the veterinary med. field I had learned tons, but is extremely difficult when you have an inexperience person telling you what they see. I love helping but sometimes I feel that I rush to run to the vet because in the back of my head I am thinking what if I am wrong.. is not the same when the dog is in front of me and I can determine on my own judgement.
