gareth Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Then with being told that Leigh didnt have to have her belly pumped,and them not finding the bur,i was angry Maybe you need to ask more questions of your vet next time so you understand what is being done for your dog, and why. And, next time your dog is in pain, do something about immediately. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danois Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 From one of the OP's other threads (probably do not need to keep starting new ones on the same subjects) - she was only charged $32 for the 'pumping' - stormie has pointed out that this was probably just for a tablet to induce vomiting - so not stomach pumping as most would understand the term to mean.

stormie Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Rish, it's just that you were slandering your vet on a public forum, yet they have done nothing wrong. I'm sorry you think people were jumping on you, but I don't think it's fair to give the name and details of the vet you are claiming to have done wrong, on a public forum. All they were doing is their job and trying to do the best thing by your dog. They may very well have found the burr on further examination. And they were right to make your dog throw up the aspirin tablet - its better to be safe than sorry, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rish Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Yes,far better to be safe. I posted that p/number and name because it was stated that the vet wasn't real. After getting off the phone (after i had posted) i can even understand why/how they missed the bur,especially having found that she has dermatis and red feet. (the red is between the toe area) I hope thsi thread just die's Rish, it's just that you were slandering your vet on a public forum, yet they have done nothing wrong.

Faolmor Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi Rish I guess the main lesson to take away from all this is that YOU are your dog's best advocate. Not your vet, not anyone else here. Some of the things you've posted inadvertently go against the main aims and goals of this forum. It's okay. You're still learning...and that's a good thing! Please stick around, because there are a lot of friendly, knowledgable people here who are more than happy to help you with your dogs. In order to be the best possible advocate for your dogs, you need to make sure you know as much as you can about them. If one of them is limping, then get down on the floor and find out why If the dog wriggles around, and scratches - well, clip its claws and teach it gently to behave when being handled by you Remember - they don't automatically know what we expect of them. You are your dogs' educator, as well as their carer. How will your dog know what you expect if you don't teach it? Go online. Come to forums like this and ask for advice on specific training issues...one at a time. Keep your posts simple, and state up-front a clear outcome. That way, people can be specific with their advice. Read as much as you can. Learn about what makes your dogs tick and why. That way, you will be better armed when your vet asks you about treatment options. You might even end up saving yourself some money, because you'll have more of an idea what's wrong when problems arise, and what treatments are available. Probably also best to remember that what you post in a public forum stays public Everyone has days when they need to vent or blow off steam. But be careful what you say, because it can always be misinterpreted, especially if your posts are not clear. Take your time when posting - and people here will take their time to answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 OK- I'll put up my hand for saying a stomach pump out MAY have been unneccessary I thought Leigh would weigh around 12 kg or so... and now someone said she only weighs about 7 kg? Well, a vomit/flush out was probably a good thing then . apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam&Saki Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I am starting to think this vet is fictional. (after quoting me)If you have been able to make head or tail out these posts, well good on you. To the rest of us they are rambling, repetitive, illogical, illegible and nonsensical. Quite frankly, I am surprised people did not start calling out the "T" word long ago. Yes her posts are difficult to follow, but that doesn't necessarily prove her to be a liar or a troll.If "all of the rest of you" all have the same opinion of this particular poster and/or style of communicating, go for it, doesn't worry me. However it doesn't mean I'll necessarily join the bandwagon personally x ;) Spare me. Nobody has suggested they are a liar or a troll. People have just trying to make sense of the posts they have made. Join what bandwagon? Do whatever you like. Doesn't worry me, perhaps you will let us try and get back on topic now Spare you? Actually you suggested she was a liar (fictional vet) and a troll (the T word.) However I never told you off for doing so, just said that I don't personally agree. I have no issue with you or others either questioning the OP or advising her how to better look after her pets. You have the right to your opinion and response and can communicate however you like. However I also have that right. To the OP - you may find things go a bit easier if (a) you make it clear in the title and sub-title of the thread what you are posting about (b) you try to spell and structure your sentences clearly © you can vent all you like but it's always a good idea to take at least partial responsibility if/when you are partly to blame. (Sounds like a dud vet, but also sounds like it would have been better if you'd found the burr right away.) Oh and if you've had enough of this thread you can always ask Troy to delete it x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm still confused, the vet suggested a "spray" and the dog is being treated with a " cream " is that right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
