Yep! and that's why I stated this

I don't know everything and never claimed to. What I offer is based on experience and what I've leared from those greats that have come before me and my wonderful vets that work with me.

I do belong to a Regional YT Club and of course The National.

and this

Both have members that are heavily involved in Medical Research. These clubs have interaction with specialists and of course share with each other various situations they encounter. We are all in constant communication with each other. What is great about this network, if we do have issues with our dogs, we know whose expertise we can tap into.

What I believe to be helpful is the ability to decipher the medical terminology used in the different diseases, have intelligent conversations with your vet, and to adsorb information for different aspects of the situation that is at hand. I have a medical background and work in the OR so I small understand how humans relate to medicine. If you have a grasp of basic medical facts you can present your questions in an intelligent manner and will receive an intelligent response. I've learn so much from LISTENING to the medical professionals that I sound myself with on a daily basis. If you step back and listen to the conversations of those more intelligent and with higher education that ourself you really can learn a lot. We must have trust in the medical community and seek out information (not self diagnose) for both ourselves and our pets. Just like in human medicine there are excellent doctors and others that do not have the broad knowledges that others keep out to continue their education. IMO, with so much evolving within the medical community on almost a daily basis it is of utmost importance to looks to those that want to broaden their knowledge base.

Then I got to my vet I am always impressed that he will talk about the latest conferences that he has attended.

This is the same with the surgeons that I work with daily. It is impressive when they attend conferences as well to keep informed about the latest treatments of their profession as well.

One of the things that the leading breast surgeon that I work with on a regular basis always tells her PTs is to stay off the internet since there is a LOT of wanna be doctors profession knowledge that is either incorrect or dangerous.

She guides those that are in her care to entrust the American Cancer Institute and to address questions to their team of doctors. I like to apply this idea to my life as well.

It is great to belong to Breeder Club as this would be very similar to going to the professionals regarding the care of our pets. They have at their knowledge leading research to address many issues that involve the breeder.

This is why I regard your input so highly.

I have tried RR too, made samantha really sick! IMO would not give it to my furkids I threw it out. Best of luck to you.

Where did you buy the peppermint oil? I know you need to be careful with some oils because they can be too strong and cause burns. Did you go to a homeopathic vet to get it?

And on that topic, how do you find a homeopathic vet?

Thanks for ALL YOUR SUPPORT. Yes Deb, you are amazing giving people support. You supported my Lola and always asked questions. I appreciate that more than you can imagine. Its just when you get mad at someone, I can tell you just keep on posting and posting and just have to get the last word. You dont need to do that. You dont need to prove yourself.

You are welcome. I never wanted to be a know it all person I was just trying to help people just as others are trying to do the same no hidden agenda here just cared about owners and dogs just like i cared about yours and why i questioned it since my vet said the same thing the day i saw your post. I did my homework on all groups and found out what to look for so when i saw your post i tried to help you as i do others. I have a full time job and i try to come on here and help others as i know what it feels like to be in their situation. I was not doing it for any other reason but because i cared about the owner and the dog. It is not right being ridiculed for trying to help others and no one would appreciate that so am i mad yep I am and why i have after months and months of this spoke out.

I know LJ and Mary have a good heart too but why be nasty to one another I will never understand it as we are all good hearted people that care. It is not about who is right or wrong it is about getting the information out to a pet owner so they can help their dog and consult with professionals with information.

LJ has helped me too and i appreciate it so i know she is a good person. I do not post over and over for any other reason than we have 5 minutes to edit a post only on the site so sometimes i think of other things after the fact but it is in no way to discount anyone else.

Just like you do not hit spell check is the same way i post - i think of something and i post so that is how i post

so maybe now that you know more about me and why i posted the way i did you will understand as was accused of over posting so this is the reason i posted the way i did.

and i will say here I am sorry if i offended anyone by trying to help as that was never my intention

hardly - dee dee has hypothyroid, mvd, and allergies all immune related from poor breeders

Dexter had pancreatitis related to ibd and has been fine for 4 years now

and Demi has periodontal disease

There are alot more diseases out there but unfortunately i did not get them from good breeders such as yourself and why i tried to help others that did not as well. I have a pet store dog (puppymill), byb akc dog and a rescue

I try to do my best as these were my first dogs and it has not been easy and thought i would pay it forward and help others with what i have learned along the way. I thought that was a good thing but apparently not as i am accused of what you have just accused me of as well as being a know it all.

It is no secret this breed is jacked up due to poor breeding and hopefully with all your knowledge in breeding you can make a difference and i was just trying to pick up the pieces of the debris left behind that i have had to deal with. It is not easy dealing with a sick dog and it is alot easier to read about it on paper than to actually have to deal with it. I deal with it and have tried to provide the best home for my dogs and to educate myself as well so that i could keep down the cost of vet bills that are astronomical in dealing with a sick dog. I guess i could just give them to a rescue and be done with it and move on and go on vacation like i use to be able to do but I tried to be a responsible pet owner.
