I know. I disagree with more than that but at least it is something compiled by veterinarians and published for the public to use as a basic list of symptoms that need veterinary attention. It doesn't seem to address neonates, some smaller dogs' or other special-circumstance needs adequately to some of us, I am certain. However, since we have no other veterinary authority to point a reader to that I know of, this is something a reader with a symptomatic dog could follow if they wish to get a dog veterinary attention before several days have passed. I was thinking if readers could see something in writing from the American Veterinary Medical Association with some basic advice about when to seek professional medical advice for a symptomatic dog, it might be helpful. This listing of symptoms, together with members' posts on a thread about a symptomatic dog, could perhaps council some to seek help sooner rather than later.
