I find out more on the net and here on YT than I ever do at the vet. I end up educating the vet.
When I have a problem, I come here, ask the question, get great advice. But I have to laugh sometimes because there are always some who post "oh go to your vet" "better ask your vet". If I thought the vet had a clue I wouldn't come here!
I educate myself and trust my judgment, then go to the vet for the things I can't do. I have come accross many uneducated vets...wonder what they actually learn at school???
Reading your posts I just have to shrug. That is exactly what vets are like. I remember one we had in another town years ago that was good, but really since then just coping with whatever we get.
