How do you make this kind of statement? Are you saying my vet didn't do "the slightest research" or I didn't? |
I’m saying ANYONE to just straight out trust their vet without doing their research is not in the best interest of their pet. I have yet to see anything good written about that herb so I’m still confused how you could have done research on it and still been ok with it. I’m not trying to attack. I’m just concerned. Considering it’s not a real medication and it’s toxicity it is very disturbing to me that the vet would continue with it if adverse reactions were being shown. Vets are still human and can make mistakes and put their own personal opinion in on things when that’s not always in the best interest of the client just like human doctors. Like I have said in the past some of these “natural” things can be a heck of a lot worse then regular medication. Like for example the only reason I used CBD oil with Callie was because it was at the end of her life and it was about keeping her comfortable so I wasn’t worried about long term effects it could have. I wouldn’t use it with my younger ones because there are no studies yet that look at all the possible side effects and long term effects like there aren’t with herbs. Some herbs are for the most part suspected to be harmless but many aren’t in-fact there are some extremely scary and dangerous herbs out there. Sometimes a vets judgment could even be off that doesn’t necessarily make them a bad vet just that they made a bad decision. I feel like giving these herbs is just about like giving trifexis or the pro heart injection. Sure vets can give them out but it’s a bad judgment call and we know these things are dangerous so we wouldn’t give them. ALL the science as well as Cody’s reaction shows this is a dangerous herb that shouldn’t be given and it’s a bit frustrating when science gets ignored. I think you are seeing this as an attack but it’s not it is 100% concern. I worry you also might be afraid to go against what she is saying because you got Cody from her. I 100% do not want to argue with you or come off as attacking you I just am trying to make you see that this just isn’t safe.
