I also consider myself a fairly average dog owner. I don't know about medical issues, diseases or symptoms, and I don't always know what food to give, etc. But with someone with my knowledge of dog health, I don't feel confident questioning, or better yet second-guessing my vet. Maybe someone with a vast knowledge of dog health information is comfortable doing that, but I personally couldn't really say "why didn't you give him xxx test". And if I did, I wouldn't understand the answer. I assume most of us fall in this category, but I could be dead wrong. |

If you have not had a sick dog do not be so quick to judge those that do and deal with it daily like Jodi does. Sometimes people like her spend more time than most vets educating themselves about a certain disease and know more about it than the vet and why i like yahoogroups as those people are SHARP. They live the disease not just read about it. |
I really hope this was not directed towards me. I have and would never criticize someone for what they say, nor am I closed minded at all! And judge people who have sick dogs? I offer any compassion that I can.
Again, the thread is about bringing this learned forum information to your vet and people's opinions on the subject. I feel like you are bashing me, and I'm only giving my opinions.
