Do you think the dog was throwing up and why they did endoscopy and bronchoscopy? Do you think the dog was having seizures and why they did mri and spinal tap? so tell me what were the symptoms because I already know from the tests they ran - the dog was throwing up and having seizures AGAIN if the dog was throwing up why was an XRAY not done before all these expensive invasive tests were done on this poor dog |

I'm debating having this entire thread deleted. This was never my intention and had no idea that there was so much underlying animosity. |
I am moving away from this thread now because I can see where it is going. :rolleyes: I do think that perhaps in the near future some of us with some respect for the vets who on a daily basis save our dogs' lives and those of countless other peoples' pets should perhaps start a thread about those vets and what they have done! My dogs are alive and well today because of the care I render.....and also because of my vet. :) I have dealt with many different conditions in pups and still would not self diagnose and/or treat. And, if I did not have confidence in my vet, I would find another. Same thing goes for ANY profession. Some are better than others; but I still say I would rather any vet over a lay person. I have the mind to think, read and ask questions. If a vet seems to be doing something that does not sound right, I ask questions of him/her. Thank you for an interesting thread. |

I just hope it wasn't me starting up the trouble. I hate to start anything. But it's a valid post. Everyone has different opinions and we're people who are passionate about our babies and their health. :) |

I'm glad that it wasn't me. I was feeling pretty bad about it. Thank you guys for letting me know. :) |
I haven't read through this entire post yet, but I completely embrace the OP's idea. I feel I am very fortunate. I love my vets (regular and ER). I come in with my notebook full of questions and websites. She laughs when I tell her I have a few questions while flipping to the first of three pages of inquiries. She simply takes a seat. When I can't be there for an appointment, because I have to work and hubby has the availability to take one of our fur kids, I send pages....detailing my concerns, questions, and thoughts. She doesn't just read through and tell him or me her opinion or suggestion, she writes her responses down so I can take them with me. She doesn't push me over my decisions to not use Frontline or Heartguard (or similar products). We vaccinate minimally at my request. She doesn't pressure me in regards to nutrition, and will flat out tell me...."I am sure you know much more about these feeding concerns than I through the research you have done, leave me your information, I will consult a nutritionist and let you know if anything needs to change." She acknowledges that they aren't just dogs to me, and I appreciate her effort. I can't tell you that she is like this with everyone, but I certainly feel I receive white glove treatment from her. I feel lucky to have a vet that I trust so completely and hope everyone has this kind of confidence and trust in their vets. |

I just finished reading this thread. Sometimes I think our differences is why YT is such an interesting place to be. One thing for sure, YT is never boring! |
