It's (IMO) not okay to say the vet is totally wrong and you should do XYZ. If you think the vet is totally wrong, then things should not be changed based on what you read online. The information on line should be taken to the vet or another vet and they will help you sort thorugh it.
With all the great information I've found online, there are so many inaccuracies. It's scary to think that people take the information without even talking tho their vet about it. |
they should take info and talk to their vet absolutely but it is not wrong to QUESTION a vet either if they do not think it is right from what they are reading? Many are saying not to ever question the vet and that is wrong because they just might be wrong and then what?
And some on here are giving doseages to people which it is ok to question a doseage the vet gave you but in my opinion I do not believe people should give out doseages and the owner should be consulting with mfg, pharmacist and vet about that as that is the most dangerous of anything more so than giving out information in my opinion as giving info to take and consult with their vet is not harmful but a wrong doseage could kill a dog.
