There is a huge difference between sharing experiences and suggesting they ASK their vet if that might be something that would help them....and telling them: You need to do this. You need to give your dog this.
I have to tell you....maybe you think it is crazy that someone should be worried about being sued. BUT....it can happen. You will not be seeing me telling people how to treat their dog or what to give their dog over what a vet has recommended. If I think a vet might be offbase...I might suggest a second opinion; but I don't offer treatments. YES a person can be sued.
I need to go back and read the rules on that forum, but I think it does mention not giving vet advice.
