I posted a thread through the entire process. I was doing my best to help Taycie but had it not been for members here on YT and thick skin, and I am not sure Taycie would be here with me today. I was sucked in with my general vet believing she would help me figure it out when in reality I look back I should have left her care long ago. I remember posts, pm's, emails, questioning me, telling me, that I should be seeing a specialist and that Taycie was suffering and she needed a different level of care.

Not only was it an emotional rollercoster ride dealing with a very sick dog but had it not been for the few members that questioned what I was doing, I am not sure the outcome would be what it is today. Now a year later, Taycie is managed wonderfully. I also have become a better pet owner because of this experience. Yes, this requires thick skin. It wasn't easy going through something so traumatic and having YT members question my level of care. Did this make me feel awful. Of course. But, I decided I had a choice. I chose to listen to the ones on YT that have been through my similar experiences, and I am better for it.

Great post!!!
