I'm still with the same vet - but will be seeking second opinions for future issues. She's great with my dogs and is willing to spend the time with me to answer my laundry list of questions and discuss things with me. On a personal level, I really like her. But I have to acknowledge we have differences of opinions when it comes to my dog's well-being. I will likely be trying out a holistic vet near us next time we have an issue!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927341583121637250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932786948091728191.post-3261864973826757982011-05-26T16:24:21.025-07:002011-05-26T16:24:21.025-07:00Hi Y'all,

However, I also have food allergies. <br /><br />We did a week long post on our experience and how changing vets led to an end to my nightmare with infections. <br /><br />My Human didn't realize how common food allergies and other allergies were in dogs until I started my blog. <br /><br />ForPetsSake is right. You must find a vet that isn't afraid for you to do your own research. The vet should discuss it with you and then you can both, assuming you keep an open mind, come to a course of action you both can agree on.<br /><br />Y'all come by now,<br />Hawk aka BrownDogHawk aka BrownDoghttp://browndogcbr.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932786948091728191.post-14283364333324901172011-05-26T15:37:36.530-07:002011-05-26T15:37:36.530-07:00As a vet nurse, I agree wholeheartedly with you qu...As a vet nurse, I agree wholeheartedly with you questioning the vet's diagnoses and prescriptions as fact. There are good and bad vets and there are those vets with a set regiment of treatments for each set of symptoms. however, every dog is different and the more you learn, the better. Against my vets' advice, I feed raw and I don't vaccinate with the usual recommended frequency. I think as caretakers, we have a great deal more power in knowing our own pets and we shouldn't discount this. <br />Again, even at my own practice, there are 2 very different vets. One I trust and the other is a dangerous idiot. You should always be able to have an open dialogue with your vet about your kiddo's care and needs. Good luck and I can't wait to hear more...<br />Glad to have found you through Pets Blogroll!
