I try to follow along on some of the S&I threads to offer prayers and support. But after a while I begin to feel like I'm being bashed over the head by those who post after post after post after post. It's overwhelming to me, so I can't imagine how the OP's of these threads must be feeling. Gentle, concise, factual information would be so much more helpful in these cases.
Thanks for letting me share some of my opinions. |
and some have said oh no big deal just wait and see how it goes and the dog DIED. So would you rather be informed or would you rather your dog died. I prefer to be informed bc if you do not inform me then you are part of the problem not part of the solution. I personally would be more upset at someone for not giving me information and my dog died when my dog could have been saved.
No prob though as many have been run off here like jodi luvmysissy who use to always help and who is very knowledgeable so eventually we will just have people saying go to your vet, trust your vet and we can all sit back and watch dogs die sadly. I personally do not choose to do that myself and why i try to help because I would want someone to help me if my dog was sick.
Many come to these groups like i did because our dogs are sick and we want help and we are looking for some support, help and encouragement and most of all INFORMATION. Prayers are great too but we want information to get our dog better as maybe that info will help our dogs. It is really easy to sit back and judge when your dog at home is healthy and trust me when your dog is sick you will be asking for help from more than your vet I am sure of it as i see it all the time. So what are you going to do when it is your dog and no one is left to help you?
