In this forum, I have always tried to be careful not to give people advice that only a vet should give. When a pup has a deadly disease, I will stand pat and say that only a vet should tell them what to feed.
If you read the advice and every answer, then you saw where this was suggested from the beginning.

Seriously, first and foremost we are all here to try to help and not a one of us are without mistakes and not a one of us, that I am aware of, have a vet degree. When Lil Sis made a mistake, you kindly pointed that out. When LilAnnCamp came back and stated she made a mistake, as well (which she never had to even do, btw), she gets a lecture?

Also, this below statement in particular - is super condescending.

OP - Praying for your pup and sorry this thread got taken off course. Everyone here just loves these pups and wants to help. Keep us updated ok?
