I agree. I'm not on like I had been for years but from what I've seen - I totally agree with this.....
People are here for advise sometimes - not a diagnosis.
It's simple common sense - you get ideas - talk to your vet and go from there. Unless someone is qualified they are not medically capable of a diagnosis or treatment online - but many have been there themselves and can 'offer' ideas and suggestions.
Then there's the personal issue - it does help someone to hear from others what they've been thru and to hear the different ideas - sometimes what a vet may not have discussed with them. So - for those that offer help - I think it's great if you have your facts and at least people here care - that helps the person facing the unknown - but it should never take the place of a vet
