However it is something that IS used for certain things. So rather then putting someone down for trying to help maybe you should do some research yourself by calling some vets offices and asking if that is something they ever do. And no I do not believe this is something just anyone should try without the advice of their vet. The point is the OP was only trying to help.
I'm saying the manner in wich you responded was not very nice. |
Oh well. We all have our own style. That is what makes the world go around.
First of all, the OP did not say to go to a vet until there was bleeding. Uhhh isn't that a bit late? She says in most cases all will be fine. I don't play with my pups' lives like that and as long as people are going to advise stuff like that on YT, I will voice my opinion. Let people reading it come to their own conclusion.
Not sure what your experience is in the veterinary field, but not sure what it has to do with anything. My experience in the medical field tells me to take my pups to a vet before even thinking about signing on to a computer when I have an emergency. If my pup ate glass, it would be deemed an emergency in my book.
I totally do not understand anyone giving advice that does not include taking a pup to a vet. How in the world would a person know for SURE that the cotton (if it was a valid treatment) was actually saving the dog's life? You sit and wait until the glass cuts the daylights out of the gi tract? Gotta love that....feed them cotton and THEN if you see blood call a vet???
I did call my vet and a couple of others. They ALL told me they would not advise any treatment like that. They would advise the person to bring their pupster IN. That is why I wanted to hear it from a vet. Since she said her vet advises it and since I also live in TX I was going to call him.
Case closed and I am moving on. At least when people find this thread, they will see both sides and make a determination about what to do with their pups!
