I use to be like that, but then my son was diagnosed with autism and I had no choice to learn how to say what I need to say and ask questions. I also learned that sometimes you just cant worry about being polite, not when it comes to your kids.

this has followed me with my fur babies. My Shih Tzu got ONE ear infection and my vet told me I need to get the hair in his ears plucked out and was irritated because I hadnt. Well that is something that is very controversial and after doing a lot of research I have decided I do not want to do that unless it does indeed become a real problem. I know many others do and that fine, their decision, I just dont choose to myself.

So I had to tell my vet , not rudely, but firmly, I'm sorry but I have done my research and do not believe in plucking the hair in their ears unless they have a lot of problems with ear infections. ONE ear infection is not enough for me to validate doing that. So no, I wont be following that particular advice of your. (F.Y.I.) he hasnt had another ear infection sense. He got one because my daughter accidentally got water in his ear when bathing him, not because of the hair)

Fact is, just because they are vet/ professionals does not mean they are ALWAYS right. Also, what is good for one pet is not always good for all. Always do your research and listen to your own gut as well as they vets advice, THEN make a decision for what you think is best. Thats my way of thinking anyway.
