I am not targeting you but I was taken back by the way that particular thread was dealt with. I agreed with you but as I just said above I did not agree with the way it was handled. I don't think that woman should have been attacked by asking her "I have to ask~do you even own a dog?"
The back and forth was going a bit far and I felt sorry for that woman! I would have been just as defensive as her because she was feeling personally attacked....

I do apologize to you and will take the advice of others on "leading by example" from now on. I was just upset because I was reading MY thread over again and then I read that one and my emotions were running.

In the past 3 days I have made several HUNDRED posts and ONE POST that I made you are going to point out that YOU didn't like what I said and feel the need to bring this up

You came to YorkieTalk looking for help. When very knowledgable members gave you sound advice your thanks is to turn on them and make a thread like this one

This is an open forum and everyone is free to give their opinion when a thread is started. Obviously, you were looking for opinions regarding your dog otherwise you would not have looked for help via the internet search engine and arrived here. You typed out your post and after you hit send everyone is free to comment and give their knowledge to help the situation at hand. This is how a forum works.

If I were in your situation, I sure would take the advice of the member who have many years of personal experience dealing with sick dogs, providing the best treatment from highly qualified vet VS vet quackery from misread internet Google searches.

***I do not know where this comes from? I "quackery from misread internet Google searches"? I have no idea what you are referring to?! Now I am confused!

When someone is giving secret medical counsel via PMs how do you know if what they are suggesting is correct? If you had a vast array of veterinary knowledge you would not have been searching on line for help and would have been able to assess your dogs situation without assistance from the YT community.

**I also never mentioned anyone giving secret medical counsel via PMs so I am not sure where that came from either.
I mentioned that several other members PM'd me to give me SUPPORT (because they did not agree with the way I was being treated in my thread). No one gave me medical advice except MY VET. Some who read my thread chose to think differently and not read what I wrote and that is where confusion came in~possibly partly by me but I am not going over that again as it is all in my thread.


Furthermore, those that are not willing to speak in the open forum should be under greater suspect. There must be a reason for this and it is not because of bullying. I suspect is it general lack a solid foundation of what they are speaking via PMs and they do not want to be called out on what they are lacking by those who can stand behind what they speak.

**Again confused because everyone that PM'd me also gave advice in the thread the only reason they PM'd me is because they wanted me to know that they understood what I was going through and offered support~no one and I repeat again NO ONE gave me medical advice and I listened SOLELY TO MY VET when it came to my decision of what to do!


I will not engage with you further regarding this issue. If you do not like what has been said to you in your thread and would prefer the advice given from behind the scenes PMs then why don't you just close your thread and take your discussion private.
**I will be closing that thread and opening a new one if I need to. Thank you.
