Is this normal for vets to do?
The lab results you posted meant absolutely nothing to me, and maybe it was enough for him go by, but it just seems odd IMO. Too much potential liabilty for a legitimate veterinarian, I would think. Anyway, just curious. |
yeah there are vets and vet techs online that help pet owners understand things and educate us.
On my maltese group there is a wonderful vet and a vet tech that always help us out.
I am on two vet groups on yahoo where it is pet owners, vet techs and vets. I have emailed them xrays of dd leg, blood work, pics of what is going on with her etc. They have been wonderful at helping me out and explaining things. They do not give doseages out just try to help in figuring things out and explaining things.
Even Dr Tobias' assistant is on a yahoogroup and helps people with liver disease.
These yahoogroups are amazing and some very sharp people on them who donate their time and expertise to help pet owners.
Ann is on the cushings group and really likes it as well.
I do not discount anything in dealing with a sick dog.
