They remind me of big fish in small ponds. Remember that people also followed Jim Jones and drank purple kool aid....so people can be convincing.
Speaking of research....here are some sites with real research data...much of it is beyond what lay people really can evaluate...but perhaps it will help you: PubMed: MEDLINE® Retrieval on the World Wide Web Fact Sheet Merck Veterinary Manual
Just my thoughts...and I wish you and your pup well.  |
Thanks for the links - I have been on the Merck Veterinary Manual and did read a lot of good information. I am in consultation with our vet and he would like me to keep her on the 1/2 tab every other day regimine of prednisolone and then check her enzyme levels in a couple months. I have read that prednisolone is used in controlling some aspects of liver disease and feel a little better about it.
