I first want to say that I am so sorry for your lost. It must be very painful and shocking to lose a beloved pet suddenly. I find that some members here are a little harsh but it is only a few. People come here for a kind word ,respectful advise and compassion. I read so many times where people are blamed and fussed at regarding the lack of immediate vet care and accused of being unfit doggie parents. I know that some people here feel they are giving the helpless animals a voice but the voices are sometimes a little mean. Just as we have compassion for our fur creatures, we should have compassion for our fellow members. Yes pet ownership is a serious responsibility and sometimes financial sacrifices will need to be made. I just wish people will cease being so judgmental and mean. No this forum can't replace an expert vet visit but sometimes a person is only seeking a sounding board. Actually as some of people have experienced, vets aren't always right either. Some members here bash dog foods too, but in truth we all know that there is no perfect dog food. What works for my pets may not work for your pets. We can only give our views and experiences. |
