I really do not understand why you get so nasty in your posts to me when i try to help with info that I have learned and share and provide facts just because someone does not agree there is no reason to be nasty Last edited by dwerten; 01-20-2010 at 08:24 PM. | |

I agree with the others - if she'll eat, feed it. Worry about everything else later.

| the only reason i mentioned it is try the cod if she eats that it is less likely contaminated if not farm raised as she already has highly toxic drug in her system so anything contaminated further added into body would not be good. If she will not eat the wild cod then by all means give the tilapia or whatever she will eat. The liver is already showing some signs of this so low protein fish is good just much prefer cod IF SHE WILL EAT IT which i believe she will as it tastes like tilapia as i agree with all here eating is most important but if you can eat with less toxins all the better |

Not being nasty to you, but your posts continousely emphizise your recommendations over the recommendations of a vet, you are putting yourself in a position of responsibility. Not a good thing Providing information is one thing but, insisting that someone follow your recommendations over that of their vet's is another. When you make a statement such as this without facts on who the Dr is and his expertise.....well not a good thing. "I am sure his research is not on toxins in fish and is on research in heart disease" You insulted my husband's Cardiac Physician's knowledge and proficency. This Physician has kept my husband free from another heart attack and healthy for the last 6 years. You state over and over your dissatisfication with vets and doctors. However, they are the experts. There is information all over the internet to help us in our research. But, bottom line these doctors and vets have a lot of knowledge and have spent years going to school to be in the field they are in. I pay them for that knowledge.

I don't think she was being nasty at all....she was stating a fact. You cannot assume that every doctor or vet is uneducated about nutrition or for that matter, veterinary medicine in general.

I am not a vet neither are you nor anyone that i know of on here but if i know something from reading it i will share it whether you think i am coming from an authority on it that is your problem as i am simply sharing that farm raised fish has more potential of toxins as the links have been posted so no one is saying your doc is a QUACK as you put it - if i felt your doc or this vet was a QUACK believe me i would say it trust me i don't hold back usually but i have let you make your nasty comments and have responded to them nicely and will no longer do so - learn how to spell and others may take you more seriously as well see we can all be nasty here if you want but there is a sick dog here so being polite to one another is the nice thing to do not attacking each other as we can all do that as i have just done to you - for some reason you take everything so personally when a comment is made and lash out with your senseless comments - if you have an argument do so intelligently not lashing out with rudeness this site is not based on vets everyone knows it we give our information we have learned and read and the persons responsibility is to consult with their vet or doctor if they do not do that it is on them we all need help at some point as Linda helped me this week as my dog was very sick two days ago and she was kind and called me to discuss Now if you have an intelligent link to something to dispute what elly and i have posted saying farm raised is better than wild fish by all means post it if not your just lashing out with no back up to your argument saying your cardiologist has done all the research and tilapia is best sorry show me the documentation I am not just taking someones word when i have read so much differently I am very familiar with cardiology as a matter of fact my dad is going in for an angiogram today and had open heart surgery two years ago but his cardiologist guaranteed would not say he is an expert on tilapia but i can ask him today if you would like what i find so ironic is you sit here and put me down about my experience of vets and then you post how you have not been able to find a decent vet here in california for the two years you have been here now how ironic is that and would be happy to post the link of you saying this so please spare me about the vet thing you know exactly what i have been experiencing here compared to texas where you had good experiences Last edited by dwerten; 01-21-2010 at 06:41 AM. | |

| i agree with Deb; this post was meant to seek advice for Lola and her owner and it's not fair for them to read nasty posts or see us attach each other verbally. Deb is posting advice and Lola's owner can choose to take them or not. that's why we are here on YT to be supportive and nice to each other. and i have been there and Deb and Linda helped me through a lot and without them i wouldn't have been able to save my dog. i hope lola is feeling better today

Offering advice is one thing; and as stated before there is a thin line between offering advice and recommending over a vet's treatment. Especially when you aren't with the owner of the dog in the examination room and have first hand knowledge of tests that have been performed on the dog. You are right I have not been able to find a good vet, by my standards. But, my needs for a vet are different than yours. My dogs do not require continous vet care as non are have chronic illnesses. What my dissatisfaction is with California vets is they place $$$$ over the treatment of the dog, leading to unnecessary testing and medications. And no this does not hinder me from taking my dogs in should they require medical treatment. If you feel I'm being nasty, so be it, but my intention is to caution you when providing information and not present it in a manner that is recommending over a vet's.

I am not going to be made to feel uncomfortable in helping someone walking on egg shells as then that just makes people who do not like confrontation uncomfortable and not want to help people with information that may be helpful so i think that is wrong. Everyone should be able to post helpful things and the owner can make their OWN mind up on what is best for their dog If i post a thread and everyone responds I gather that info do my own research consult vet or specialist and then do what i feel is best for my dog and i think everyone else does the same at least i thought that is how it works here. | |

You will never see me helping someone with a delivery of puppies or anything to do with pregnancy as i have no clue and won't even go there so we all have our own experiences to share and we should be thankful we have a place to share with others and help our dogs and respect one another. | |

| yeah he was vomitting tuesday from 5:45 am to 11 am it was not pretty - not really sure but witheld food, water and was in contact with hospital and back up vet as our vet was on vacation and internal medicine specialist was out until friday. Linda talked to me as i get really nervous and a few other friends from my yorkie groups called me as well so we got him through it and then he wanted food at 8 that night so soaked some kibble to see if he could keep it down and luckily he is back to normal but i am very thankful for linda's conversation as it helps to have someone to talk to when things are going bad and having had the dreaded pancreatitis and almost dying 4 years ago vomitting with him freaks me out big time - i called in sick to work and stayed home all day and dh took half day yesterday off to make sure he was over it |
