It's pointless.
Simply start another group called rec.pets.dogs.health.take-it-to-a-vet Then if anyone wants to ask a question regarding a dog, they search for 'dog' and get the same advice as they would if they found this pointless group. -- Phil L RSRL Tipster Of The Year 2008 |

May I make a suggestion? Some of the best and most eager to share information about dog care are vet students. They are up on the latest information and proceedures. Texas A & M is the very best (If I do say my self)- plus don't coun't out the other's in the group who I haven't met yet. Nothing can compare with experience. so I look foward to their advice which I really need. Long tall Sally sally |

Nothing can compare with experience. so I look foward to their advice which I really need. Nothing *can* compare with experience, which is why vet students can be pretty inconsistent. I've had an awful lot of experience taking animals to university veterinary hospitals, esp. the one that really is top-rated, and while the students tend to be smart and generally really great to deal with, they're also likely not to recognize stuff and to pathologize entirely too much. There's a huge difference between dealing with them (and they're third-year students, so they've got some classwork behind them) and with the clinicians. That's why the clinicians double-check every single thing the students do. Also, the guy you're responding to? Asked a vague question with an unlikely premise, and got pouty and demanding when he didn't like the response. I.e. he's pretty much of a jerk, and the post you're responding to is him just being an asshole. Apparently he doesn't want to spend the money to talk to a vet. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
