Sometimes it is so hard though when someone is posting page after page about their dog "acting okay" though it's been vomiting for three days and clearly the person is looking for a home remedy here rather than wanting to spend money at the vet. Sometimes one feels it is necessary to wake that dreamer up and get their attention when clearly nothing else is working. But the intent is not to hurt the feelings of the OP but speak in a direct fashion, since kinder, more gentler-worded posts are clearly not getting through. |
Exactly it is very hard to educate with a dose of kindness when you get posts like My Pup droped 6 ft and he was seizuring I cant take him to a vet what should I do" and they dont want to accept they clearfly need to get to a vet asap. Or my yorkie tied with our great dane. Sometimes the matter is so severe or immediate youve got to get through to them. I have seen on threads of an emergency situation and posters tried to pacify and not upset the poster and they didnt get needed vet care and pup died
