As I said in an earlier comment when I came across that thread the comment that lillymae had made about people being ignorant was already gone and I did not know that it had been there and removed and I apologized to megansmomma because of that.
I was most upset on my thread that someone said that I did NOT take the advice I was given by 2 or 3 vets/specialists and that was simply not true. When I spoke with the specialist she said she would not recommend any of the invasive procedures at this time because Lucy is doing well and her enzymes were normal and her BAT's were not elevated enough to indicate a shunt. When I put that statement on there it seemed that everyone was already done at that point and stopped and that's fine...it is too long and needs to be closed anyway but I don't like it when I am accused of not taking advice from my vet and specialist but rather advice from someone PM'ing me...that again is simply not true!
I am not calling you a bully at all and I really am not saying anyone specifically is a bully I am just trying to say that sometimes the comments go a little too far and it comes off as bullying.
I know you don't agree with what I am doing with Lucy but you have been very respectful and supportive I agree!!
Not all of you left the thread peacefully though there were a couple of comments from a couple of people that were condescending at the end and they got their last words in and then left which I thought was not fair because they said things again that were not true.

And in any event, if I want to say that I will NEVER take my dog to a chiropractor, I'll say it. Having a different opinion than yours, or anyone else here, does not make one a bully. It also does not make one judgmental. It simply means I don't agree. And if the OP wants advice about chiropractic, lillymae already extended an invitation to receive PMs. I would readily refer any member seeking chiropractic care to other members who believe in that, while still stating I do not.
And with regard to your thread, where you claim to be bullied, if I recall correctly, you came on your thread wanting a rubber stamp. I replied to you then saying that it would be disingenuous for us to rubber stamp you to spare your sensitivities. I still do not agree with what you did for Lucy, but it is your dog and you have to live with your decisions, not me. I told you what I would have done and why. You don't like what I have to say? Then don't listen. Feed your dog cans of l/D without any imaging or objective diagnostic information if you and your vet think that is appropriate. I would not be satisfied with that advice, and it's not the advice you would have gotten if you went to an ACVIM vet who would have AT THE VERY LEAST wanted to take a few pictures of that liver. Again it is your dog, and whatever you choose, I wish you and she well as I've stated numerous times. I think that is SUPPORTIVE, HONEST, and STRAIGHT FORWARD.
By the way, I left your thread because you do not want my input. I saw no reason to return to your thread. You have stated what you are doing and I wished you well. I have nothing else to offer you at this time. If another thread of yours comes around and I think I have something to offer, I am not going to hold a grudge simply because you are calling us bullies and trying to silence our opinions.
I do think this may be a first where someone here has suggested that we are bullies for LEAVING A THREAD PEACEFULLY. |
