The owners profess their love for their pets...I personally don't consider that love.
The day I tell people how to treat their pups and avoid going to the vet is the day I hope someone takes my computer away from me. The op snapped at all of us who suggested she take her pup to a vet....oh nothing wrong with her snapping, but you question my sarcasm? Seems to me that the majority suggested the reasonable thing to do and one person only wanted to appease. To each his own...she asked for advice and I believe the best advice she got was exactly what the majority gave her. She doesn't like it? So what? The dog probably does not like having whatever is wrong with it either.
As for suggesting insurance fraud....well let's just say I avoided that post, but people thinking like that is exactly what is wrong with our country's insurance problems!
People need to be RESPONSIBLE and that is the bottom line. If you have children, make sure you can afford to raise them. Same goes for pets...don't have them if you cannot afford the care. Pretty simple in my way of thinking. |
Bottom Line is does anyone seriously think anyone needs to tell her to go to a vet...she didn't ask anyone for life advise or to prove if she was a snob enough to "AFFORD TREATMENT" Apples and oranges folks......get with the program!
I love it when people assume......remember what happens when you assume
Oh and BTW...Insurance fraud is when you have a diagnosis(which she doesn't) and for people who cannot afford treatment....(I do not assume she cannot) In fact I will step out on the limb and hope her pups issue is minor and a new vet might help her get a second opinion and some insurance might help her have some extra confidence. It never hurts to ask...and when a FRIEND asks for my experience I give them what they ask for...I tell them once and then they do as they please. It's called a free world. because I am an eternal optimist i will always look for solutions and manifest destiny.....( it works i swear) So I stand by my advise since you didn't mention your poor baby was suffering or on it's death bed..I won't assume I deserve to be a yorkie owner any more than you do.....I stand by my advise.....get insurance(confidence to get the best care) and a second opinion and also call the Revival gals... they are sooooooo Nice and really easy to talk to. Like a good friend not a frienenemy....
