Sometimes the posts are exhausting and I do know well how to /ignore all. The reason I often do not is because I really hate seeing people frightened out of their wits or misinformed. Some of them ask and end up with multiple diagnoses. It would scare me....which is why if my pups have a problem the first place I head is to my vet. Some people head to the internet. |
yeah it is just a difference of handling health and many people cannot get into their vet on a moments notice and most spend 15 minutes rushed in a room. I personally prefer if not life threatening to come to internet send a pic, explain what is going on get some ideas and then go to vet with pictures or video or information on symptoms and so i am prepared. When i went to dentist I was prepared - said no vaccine as i knew it was not good, etc - she was impressed that i was very prepared. They do not have alot of time to dilly dally around they want to know what is going what are the symptoms, get temp, look at ears, eyes, feel dog but most IMPORTANTLY WHAT IS THE OWNER NOTICING AS SYMPTOMS so you are KEY in the diagnosis as well as you are the one who has to speak for your dog. I personally think health care and animal health is a team effort where all parties work together to get the best care possible.
I personally do not get scared with a bunch of diagnosis as i want to be informed - i take every diagnosis read up and go nope that is not it , ok this could be it, nope that is not it, etc and then off to vet.
I think if it scares them to get information here then maybe not post in sick and health and just go to vet and rely on vet info and come here with a true diagnosis for more information as i do not think there is going to be anyway to tell everyone here not to respond unless a vet has diagnosed - not sure maybe they can do that if it is such a problem but i personally value each persons opinion then narrow it down.
