This was not a common thing. This was actually diagnosed fairly quickly once she got to that vet...he followed the right path imo.
Sharing one's experiences in efforts to help someone when asked is one thing, but recommending treatment over a vet is another.
You've had some situations with vets that you've dealt with......Most of us have. But, as I stated early on in Lissette's quest to get to the bottom of Lola's problem, I sent her to one of the best vets in Dallas. Is he perfect, no, but, I would place any one of my dogs in his care, and I have, because I know he doesn't just treat willy nilly and never makes you feel like an idiot. He makes you a partner in the treatment of your dog and makes sure you understand everything completely He does know yorkies, inside and out. |
i agree this was very odd as never heard of this on all 64 dog groups i am on so it is rare and they did diagnose quickly which is impressive.
I am just confused as to where i stated not to do what vet prescribed as i feel is being stated and why is it wrong to ask the vet about probiotics and coconut oil as those are being used quite a bit now a days
