They dont need online people to tell them what tests to run and they dont need to run every test known to man to come to a conclusion) AND...then pay particular attention to the fact that Randi said her vet suspected encephalitis and one of the posters said it was NOT encephalitis.

There are many places on YT for people to learn about specific illnesses. I asked for the nonsense to stop and seriously people need to take time to respect owners and whoever is caring for a pup instead of insisting that they have their say about what the pup has or does not have and what type of vet to use...yada yada).

What I hope they learn from THIS thread is the importance of going to vets....and the importance of giving up a pup if you cannot afford to care for it. To do the loving thing for the sake of the pup. I ALSO hope that certain people will think about what they suggest to people. Sure...you can say on one hand to go to a neurologist...but then on the next turn you say that the neuro is wrong in his suspicions??? What kind of message is that to a person who has a sick pup???

I have read and followed this thread and I don't see where anyone gave diagnosis only suggestions. As far as places on YT to learn, this is the place as not all dogs with the same disease will have the same symptoms such as Bella with Chiari and little Roriee with so many things going on . Giving suggestions will put the fear in some owners to get their pups to the vet in a timely manner or hopefully if they cannot afford treatment they will turn it over to rescue in a timely manner so the dog does not suffer needlessly. And honestly thank God Roriees owner was on YT or who knows what would have happened to her or how much longer she could have suffered.
