Not to be one to leave a stone unturned when I am after information, I am in contact with them. I will find this information out asap and will forward.
Seems like an actual site to me though. They do ask for donations, but I am sure any web site can be self serving, no? I am NOT sure if I can get financial information from them, I am sure they have a legal dept of some type for that.
I repeat, a site that claims to help animals then posts erroneous information just doesn't seem too credible, to me. Today with all of the law suits, and pets becoming members of the family, one must be careful NOT to diagnose or prescribe lest they get hit with law suits - wouldn't you agree?
I found the info about lomotil very informative. There are always side effects, precautions, drug interactions, etc. Then there is that ONE SIZE FITS ALL mentality to get around as well. Some do well with one type of medication, while others do NOT. I am one to get as much info good/bad as I can and ask ask ask ask as many questions as I can.
I have to agree to the treatment and care of my furry family, I better make sure I know as much as possible. That is why I am so upset that
NOT ONE "VET" SHARE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT CT WHILE TED WAS HAVING EPISODES.
The animal care industry failed Ted with this. I have learned from it and it will help me to learn as much as I can to protect him.
The feeling of admonishing that "vet" will subside in time. But she was the one that came away with almost $500 OF MY MONEY. AND NO TREATMENT FOR A CRITICAL PATIENT.
