Cody needs a specialist.I asked "vet school vs pvt. personal vet" because I was confused as to why members were advising / recommending posters to take their dog to a vet school where there are students LEARNING, why have your pet used as a guinea pig. I was JUST CURIOUS, did not ask because I wanted to use a vet school, my question was answered, and now I have a clear view of what vet schools are all about. It is safest for him to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Three visits is not too much, but 17 months with no relief for him no matter who the vet was/is is way too long. Chinese supplements are not standard of care for colitis.

I'm sad that asking a vet what equipment they have is considered grilling here. Actually, when a client asks my vet about anesthetic protocol and such she is pleasantly surprised that the owner knows to ask those questions.

All test results should be explained in layman's terms unless they are normal.
That is the vet's job.

I understand that you may be irritated with all the posts. lol not irritated at all, just confused how what I write is taken out of context, ppl read what THEY THINK I am stating, it’s like the phone game. But please know that several of us posting here have dogs with very similar issues and they are now managed and doing better. It isn't an attack on you or your vet. We have been there, devastated that our dogs weren't doing at all well, watching them feel awful, and then solutions were found.

I understand help is being offered, how ever, ppl replying reading into what I am posting, and what they are interpreting is all incorrect. These back & fourth postings is like e-mail or texting writing words, not hearing a actual voice what you write get read wrong by the reader, that’s why I don’t like email or text for important things, and these issues are to me important, and what I have written is getting pulled apart and being misread and misunderstood .


I just want to remind you of your original post. You asked what vet schools were about. You also said you were wondering in the case of Cody and his colitis if this would be a good idea for him. That must be some one else’s post, I NEVER said I was wondering in the case of Cody and his colitis if this would be a good idea for him. I NEVER SAID THIS, I would go to a specialist first. Lol, I can’t believe how ppl read into things







I have had NO REASON to ask my vet what equipment she has, am I out of the blue say “oh by the way, what type of equipment do you have here at your clinic“?
Actually, when a client asks my vet about anesthetic protocol
OMG.....we are NOT TALKING ANESTHETIC, read all posts, a member made a SNIDE comment "does your vet have the proper equipment"




This post is just to funny . “Chinese supplements are not standard of care for colitis.” all I said was he was given this to help his digestive system, did not say it was a CURE for colitis. I know you are giving good advise, however like I said, reading and talking takes things out of context, and that is what you have done. Misread what I write. this has become all to foolish for me. I asked one question and got my answer. PUT A FORK IN ME, I'M DONE.
