Awsome article.
Bottom line is that evidence based practice in animals is not what is driving the treatment regimens. I'm guessing the research thT is required for evidence based practice for vets may be considered too expensive so therefore we continue with trial-and-error and doing what we have always done instead.

This is scary and demands that we as pet owners demand and expect more. The main lesson here is ask questions and stay informed.

Places like Yorkie Talk will be clear centers for this type of activity. I know my vet considers me a pain in the butt at times, but they also always answer my questions and give me copies of research articles that back up their decisions.

Maybe we need an EVIDENCED BASED forum to put these articles we find so all can have access to them.

Thanks for bringing this to the forefront !
