I realize this is one of those *hot* topics here. There are many here who have vets that they would trust with their life and then there are some us who have had some very bad experiences with vets, sadly some have lost pets at the hands of vets. I think the ones with the bad experiences will never have that peace of mind and trust again, how could we??......Therein lies the reason for the researching and asking for additional info, we just don't want to have to experience that again for ourselves or foranother.......

For me, I am sorry to say that I have lost faith in the profession….Not without saying, I will always go to a vet when a problem arises but I’m always cautious and I will do research when I feel the need. No vet knows it all, some are better than others, as in any profession. If the vet doesn’t have the desire, time or interest in keeping up on new research, treatments or testing then things will be misdiagnosed, mistreated, or over treated. And then there are some vets who will put his concern for profits above what’s in the best interest of the pet…….

There many ways to approach a problem that range from traditional medicine to holistic medicine and many other options in between. If the vet is approaching the health concern with only what was learned in school, which was more than likely decade’s age, or is approaching the problem by treating symptoms instead of getting to root of the problem then yes, I will look elsewhere for info. Ultimately I will be held responsible for the treatment chosen..…….This is just one of those topics that we all will never agree on.....
