I think YT is a great tool to use in working with your Vet. Yes, I have printed off some information and taken it to my Vet and I think this is great. I am probably not going to take the word of an anonymous poster over my trained and trusted vet. But, I was able to ask some clear and concise questions because of information obtained here. Yes, sometimes it is information overload and too many horrific possibilities presented - I've learned to take it all with a grain of salt . . but take away what I can; learn what I can; don't panic over what I read.
On the other hand, I've learned things here that I wouldn't even think about asking my Vet - like the use of harnesses; treats like cheerios and apple . . Vegetarian kibble; lowfat cottage cheese.
I've learned countless things on YT and for that I am grateful.
Sift through the information that you are given; keep a clear head; be informed; trust your instinct and hopefully your Vet! This is what I've learned to do. |
