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. |
You’re accusing me of not researching this herb and just going forward and giving it to Cody.
How do you accuse someone of not doing something when you don’t know what that person has done.
I am not going to repeat my response to Bluebells post.
And you are indirectly calling me a liar. You should read all posts before pouncing on ppl accusing them with your blanket statements.
Put your thinking cap on girl, it’s obvious my vet is convinced this herb will help my dog and reason why she has reduced the amount to give him.
I don’t need you to tell me the dangers of this herb. There are pros and cons to every med out there.
In the articles that you read, did you read how many cures using this herb were recorded?
Did you read what this herb was used on and if it helped?
You read the dangers, but don’t look for the good they have done.
Because Cody was a gift to me from my vet, to say I may be afraid to go against my vet with what she prescribes is hilarious to me. You have no idea what kind of a person I am to make such a judgement.
I know of your concern not just for Cody but for all dogs but, my dog, my call. I am his voice and his caretaker. I make the final decisions.
Your opinion is just that, an opinion, that’s what YT is all about, advise, suggestions, opinions.
On this thread you have stated several times about the danger of using Double P ll, and each time I stated I am going to follow my vets newest dosage. Instead of just accepting my decision, you’re there having a hissy fit because I won’t listen to
you.
You have to accept what ppl decide for their dogs and not get upset when someone will not follow what you suggest or tell them to do.
As I have already written and ohhhhh how I
hate repeating myself. I will try this new method of giving Cody these herbs, if it still causes diarrhea at the very first sighting I stop the meds and contact the office and will not try a lesser dose.
So, let’s just agree to disagree and put this to rest. Nothing anyone says will make me change my mind.
Since you opened the door to criticize my poor judgement, I must say, keeping Callie in her last days, in my opinion it was poor judgement on your part to keep a dog that was in pain just because, but I kept that opinion to myself, you aired your opinion, now I added mine.
I 100% do not want to argue with you or come off as attacking you.
