I can only assume that I know the "bullies" that you are talking about and I can also only assume that I could be one of them.
When I post on the sick and injured forum, I'm rarely there to just send well wishes and move on. I'm also not there to agree with everyones' vets. If I think something isn't right, then I have no problem saying so.
I left your thread because I have no more advice for you right now, and even if I did, it is obvious that you won't seriously consider it (you stated this yourself in this thread
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...-vet-said.html). You said just sit back and read. Don't pay much attention, right? You said as long as you and your vet agree, then it's fine. So if you and your vet agree, then why should I take time out of my day to give advice that will be ignored?
When you first posted what the specialist recommended, it did appear as though the first option was their first choice. And even now that I know it wasn't, I still have to say something does not sound right to me. You can do whatever you want with your pup. However, that doesn't mean that you will get support in the form of agreement from all of us.
I don't always go to specialists and I don't always do everything just right, but I also am not going to expect others to agree with me that's it's standard of care because it isn't. Is L/D and Denamarin for another month for no other testing wrong? In my opinion, it is. That is NOT to say that I would not do it, but I cannot agree that this is best. It is simply not what I see as standard of care.
Bullies don't leave threads when they have nothing else to say. And they certainly don't spend countless hours on YT trying to help people. We are busy people and give up time with our own families and pups to help.
It sounds like you are looking for some of us to agree with the decisions that have been made and say that they are okay. That is between you and your vet and you don't need our approval. Simply, I'm uneasy about the plan that has been made for Lucy and I can't say that it's the right thing to do. I can tell you that I think about Lucy often and hope she is okay.
It seems you starting getting upset when some people disagreed about the specialist you had chosen. Whether or not people here agree with the decisions you have made has nothing to do with their respect for you as a person. I don't see any personal attacks whatsoever in that thread.
