WOW. Your post is really insensitive. I came here with my story to get help from peopel who might have gone through this have the knowledge but just to clear the air (not that I have to-especially if you had read my posts) My vet and two others felt that my dog didn't need meds. I was deeply concerned about hearing about the side effects of the meds. and my vet noted that the common seizure med. should not be used in small dogs. No I don't feel I have enough knowledge to go in and demand any one treatment not to advocate for my dog-how rude are you? Seriously saying that I don't liek the side effects of meds is part of the problem-do you always attack people about their concerns? If you find something difficult to read you should try reading what you rite to someone especially when I'm going through something like this and reaching out for advice from people...and if you find it difficult a vet would end up not making a decision to medicate or offer any treatment...HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL? Hense I'm here looking for advice from others...getting as much education as I can...I went as far as the foremost authority on neurological issues on my side of the country (UC Davis) and still I'm looking for a better option to do more, the last thing I need is comments like yours thanks, no really thanks for making me feel horrible about this all over again. I really hope that if you have to go through something like this you don't run into someone who talks to you like this...
