| As I said in an earlier comment when I came across that thread the comment that lillymae had made about people being ignorant was already gone and I did not know that it had been there and removed and I apologized to megansmomma because of that. I was most upset on my thread that someone said that I did NOT take the advice I was given by 2 or 3 vets/specialists and that was simply not true. When I spoke with the specialist she said she would not recommend any of the invasive procedures at this time because Lucy is doing well and her enzymes were normal and her BAT's were not elevated enough to indicate a shunt. When I put that statement on there it seemed that everyone was already done at that point and stopped and that's fine...it is too long and needs to be closed anyway but I don't like it when I am accused of not taking advice from my vet and specialist but rather advice from someone PM'ing me...that again is simply not true! I am not calling you a bully at all and I really am not saying anyone specifically is a bully I am just trying to say that sometimes the comments go a little too far and it comes off as bullying. I know you don't agree with what I am doing with Lucy but you have been very respectful and supportive I agree!! Not all of you left the thread peacefully though there were a couple of comments from a couple of people that were condescending at the end and they got their last words in and then left which I thought was not fair because they said things again that were not true.

| This makes sense and I agree but I am still happy that I posted this because it made me realize things and yet again I have learned something....one is to become a little more thick skinned!! I have to say this is the first of this type of forum I have ever been on and I have learned many lessons and met a lot of wonderful people and I thank you for your comment!! Quote:

| I have come to the conclusion that I probably should not have said bullying but rather rude/rudeness.... I don't have time right now but tonight or tomorrow I will definitely post them so you can see what I am talking about.

| When you had talked to the specialist and listed the options, it DID sound like they were recommending the first one. That is what the person who posted about not listening to two vets was pulling from. Now that we know that isn't the case, perhaps she would have worded it differently. However, that still doesn't mean that just doing blood testing is okay. It's absolutely fine to listen to your vets. That said, I've met and heard about a huge number of vets that don't always do or recommend the right thing. The vets you go to are totally your choice. I'd suggest a third opinion by a board certified internal medicine specialist because I think these doctors are missing something. But of course what you do is up to you. If the bile acids go down, great. They may need to be watched for awhile though. If they only go down slightly or go up, then that's another month of possible damage to the liver (because it has already been a month). That's all. It is incredibly concerning to see some of the stuff posted in the ER section and think about what is talked about in PMs. To each their own, but some of us will caution others to be very careful. That is not being condescending. That is wanting your dog to be safe.

| To the OP let me begin by welcoming you to YT. And to further say I've read through this entire thread and understand what you are saying, at times some of us do become overly passionate in our opinions/beliefs, etc. However, that being said there is a thread that I try to recommend for all newbies to read. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...d-respect.html Again welcome and hope that you'll stick around.
