I never poo poo any information an owner can get as the more the owner can learn about what is going on the sooner the dog will get better.
She can ask questions of this nutritionist day or night and she will respond unlike any other nutritionist so she can start to learn about diets for ibd as she just did a whole discussion on this as well.
Once you know better you can do better and sometimes that knowledge comes from other pet owners dealing with the same thing. I never discount anything in helping a dog get better. I look at all options confusing or not as I want to get my dog better as fast as possible. The yahoogroups are amazing ask Ann they helped her alot when her dog was being diagnosed with cushings. |
I am not saying anything about the Yahoo groups as a whole. I will say that I have been on a couple and also have seen some quotes from some that have given me some concerns; but I also have seen very good information. The problem becomes who you listen to. People need to realize that advice is not necessarily good advice...no matter the intentions.
My point was that three in one day is a bit much; but that is just my personal thoughts on it. It is difficult enough for some people to digest all of the different stuff they get slammed with here on YT without going on a Yahoo group or three different ones in a day...and getting more opinions. It can get very confusing especially for some people who are frightened and worried to begin with.
Some pet owners imo think they are experts...and think that what worked for their pup will work for another without really having the full picture. Each case is unique in most cases.
