How about Dr tobias who is well known on here for liver shunt surgery? Her assistant is on the yahoogroups.
People are not diagnosing their dogs on these groups they are gathering information to help their dogs which is a good thing. These are mostly pet owners that see specialists all over the world for certain conditions their dogs are going through and are helping others with the information in trying to understand what their vet does not have time to explain many times. I have read many times and just read it the other day on the GME group my dog would have died had I not been on this group to learn about the current protocol by Dr Sisson so i think these groups are saving some dogs lives. They are also a great means of support for people who are dealing with a certain disease with their dog. |
Did you not say that you use these groups to help you figure out what is wrong with your dogs? Isnt that diagnosing. Didn't you also say that doing this cuts down on vet bills? Or, am I misreading and misinterpreting again? I don't want to misinterpret anything...just trying to understand is all.
Oh...you have joined GME now?
I honestly don't care what you think and do and suggest...that is entirely up to you....I do it differently and I disagree with much of it and I suggest what has worked for me. My pups are all in great shape and their illnesses and skin conditions are nipped in the bud early before they are out of control from me playing around trying to find the answer which is what a lot of people do. By the time they get to a vet, the condition has worsened. Have you not seen that on YT? Or even on the Yahoo groups? I certainly have.
After seeing the one diagnosis made on Roriee by the LS group.... I was stunned and it clinched my previous thoughts about some of these people on these groups. Her problem figured out....and was constipation and Lactulose helped??? Did you happen to see that?
Anyway....that is my opinion. You can LOL all day long..I will still have the same opinion. I don't care who they are...if they are diagnosing, I believe they are going out on a limb. Assistants...techs, vets..whoever they are or say they are. They don't even know for sure that they are being given accurate information by the owners.
