I don't think she was being nasty at all....she was stating a fact. You cannot assume that every doctor or vet is uneducated about nutrition or for that matter, veterinary medicine in general. |
so did i ever call her doctor a quack? It is common knowledge that most doctors and vets do not know much about nutrition unless they specialize in it. sorry but you need to read her other posts on the other threads and would be happy to link here or pm you with them. I have been here helping for years and she is the only one that has responded rudely. Actually most people are very nice and appreciative to one another knowing no one is a vet here - they are coming to a public forum for information, support and education from other dog owners as they have a vet or specialist that sees there dog
I am not going to be made to feel uncomfortable in helping someone walking on egg shells as then that just makes people who do not like confrontation uncomfortable and not want to help people with information that may be helpful so i think that is wrong. Everyone should be able to post helpful things and the owner can make their OWN mind up on what is best for their dog
If i post a thread and everyone responds I gather that info do my own research consult vet or specialist and then do what i feel is best for my dog and i think everyone else does the same at least i thought that is how it works here.
