Although, I've had some accuse me of having sickly dogs. I've also seen some make inuendos that their vets' have made incorrect diagnoses. Never taking in to consideration the pet owner has done everything to keep their dog alive, gone to every vet within their geographical area to get a diagnosis on a very rare disease and saved their dogs lives in doing so. This has been done because the pet owner didn't follow a person's diagnosis or advice on medical treatment.
Sad, that people are more concerned with their egos, whose on their side, how many followers they have, than the dog.
