I am not a vet neither are you nor anyone that i know of on here but if i know something from reading it i will share it whether you think i am coming from an authority on it that is your problem as i am simply sharing that farm raised fish has more potential of toxins as the links have been posted so no one is saying your doc is a QUACK as you put it - if i felt your doc or this vet was a QUACK believe me i would say it trust me i don't hold back usually but i have let you make your nasty comments and have responded to them nicely and will no longer do so - learn how to spell and others may take you more seriously as well see we can all be nasty here if you want but there is a sick dog here so being polite to one another is the nice thing to do not attacking each other as we can all do that as i have just done to you - for some reason you take everything so personally when a comment is made and lash out with your senseless comments - if you have an argument do so intelligently not lashing out with rudeness
this site is not based on vets everyone knows it we give our information we have learned and read and the persons responsibility is to consult with their vet or doctor if they do not do that it is on them
we all need help at some point as Linda helped me this week as my dog was very sick two days ago and she was kind and called me to discuss
Now if you have an intelligent link to something to dispute what elly and i have posted saying farm raised is better than wild fish by all means post it if not your just lashing out with no back up to your argument saying your cardiologist has done all the research and tilapia is best sorry show me the documentation I am not just taking someones word when i have read so much differently
I am very familiar with cardiology as a matter of fact my dad is going in for an angiogram today and had open heart surgery two years ago but his cardiologist guaranteed would not say he is an expert on tilapia but i can ask him today if you would like
what i find so ironic is you sit here and put me down about my experience of vets and then you post how you have not been able to find a decent vet here in california for the two years you have been here now how ironic is that and would be happy to post the link of you saying this so please spare me about the vet thing you know exactly what i have been experiencing here compared to texas where you had good experiences |
Again, I will state, you do not know the expertise of my husband's Caridioligist, so you can't make a blanket statment such as you did.
Offering advice is one thing; and as stated before there is a thin line between offering advice and recommending over a vet's treatment. Especially when you aren't with the owner of the dog in the examination room and have first hand knowledge of tests that have been performed on the dog.
You are right I have not been able to find a good vet, by my standards. But, my needs for a vet are different than yours. My dogs do not require continous vet care as non are have chronic illnesses. What my dissatisfaction is with California vets is they place $$$$ over the treatment of the dog, leading to unnecessary testing and medications. And no this does not hinder me from taking my dogs in should they require medical treatment.
If you feel I'm being nasty, so be it, but my intention is to caution you when providing information and not present it in a manner that is recommending over a vet's.
