The next time you would like to have information on a study,or learn something from a poster or myself, perhaps you should do what most on this forum do....just ask....... for the links and research, instead of implying that the information given is wrong or invalid, which is what you were doing.

I try to offer my knowledge from my degree's and experience without berating others who offer their advice,whether their information is right or wrong in my eyes. I am not here to substantiate THEIR posts, and negate what they say. I am simply here participating with my offerings.

Believe me, if I were going to "put you down" I think you would know it. I just feel that there are better ways to pull information out of posters than the current style.

Since you brought this up I would like to inquire as to what your areas of study would be that give you authority to speak as an expert on canine nutrition?

I work within the medical community and have seen first hand how doctors collaborate to properly diagnose and treat patients. I would not be comfortable with a jack of all trades dealing with a complex issue and feel it is their responsibility to defer to their peers. There are subspecialties in medicine just like in every other profession. I wouldn't go to a divorce attorney if I was charged with murder and insist they need to be further trained in Law School of Criminal Defense.

I do think sometimes in your attempts to be snide or clever or one up people, you make it more difficult to understand your point. By the way, I try to keep threads separate, and while I disagree with one other of your views, I really wanted to agree with this view of yours, but I really needed to know more. I really don't know anything about you or your degrees, you seem very smart, and I'm sure you have a lot to offer, it's just I really think it's dangerous to take some forum posters advice over your vet. What I like to do is read the advice and understand it enough so that I can discuss it with my vet. If he can't make me understand or makes me feel stupid for questioning his authority, I’d find another vet. Some of the information we find on the net, may be cutting edge facts, but most of it seems to be nonsense or at least not safe. Anyway, I feel like I can’t ever question “your authory.” I did say, I didn't see in the links you offered a time when a more normal diet could be given.I don't think you've ever answered the question of the time period with scientific evidence. As I said before the links you gave didn't discuss this. I only wanted some data on the time period in which it would be considered safe to add fiber.

Again, and why is it necessary to tell me if you wanted to put me down, I'd know it, to me there is no question that's what you want to do, but I don't know why? I don't want to put you down, I feel like I've made you feel defensive, I'm sorry for this. My question is "Is there any data that says how long it takes the digestive system to heal after the first major pancreatic attack?"

I too am confused with the links that were given. After just having a little scare with Doodlebug earlier in the week this thread was of interest to me. Thankfully after blood work the vet did rule out Pancreatitis but the issue has now caught my attention. For now I was very please with my vet's recommendations and he is doing well but I do like to have a base of knowledge to take to my vet if something were to ever arise in the future.
