Anipryl was 1st used for cushings treatment so I don't understand how any vet can say they know it will not work when every case is diff & it does work best for some, as in the case of my LillyMae. |
Thank you for your comments, I needed that(to be firm with the vet)
I guess I annoyed him big time when I first met him.
I wrote down all homeopathic remedies cheeky's been taking and my observation of her prognosis(about 3month). I also wrote down all the tests I wanted her to take. as well as the treatment options. I also asked him bunch of questions. I wasn't "just listen & follow" type… I didn't mean to annoy him, but rather I wanted what's best for my baby. when I asked him about anipryl, he said that it'll be waste of time and money. He's very knowledgeable with cushing's, and I just don't want to rub him wrong way… I'll see him on Thursday and I'll tell him that I'll give Anipryl chance and that's that. Hope he won't get too upset about me not following his advise.
