Why are people asking for pet medical advice here?
The first thing to do when you’re pets vomiting/ peeing all over/ puking/ or eatten something bad etc is to CALL THE VET! Quit wasting time!
I know, it’s driving me nuts!! I can understand asking about little things, but when they’re asking for advice and they themselves think their pet might be dying, I seriously want to reach through my computer and choke them. I just answered a question last night where a girl asked "Is she dying or just ill and can be cured?" Then listed some of the symptoms. What difference does it make if she’s dying or has something that’s curable?! Get the poor thing to a vet NOW! Even if the poor animal was dying, the least she could do is get it to a vet to make it more comfortable or end it’s life in a quicker way so the pet didn’t have to suffer a long, painful death. I wanted to scream, I was so upset by the question. It’s just so irritating that there’s so few people left in this world with some common sense. Do people really need to be told when to get their pet to a vet? If you think it’s dying, get it to a vet! Why must people come on here and have twenty people tell them to take it to a vet. Don’t ask, just do it!! The more time they spend surfing the net asking questions, the less chance their pet has at getting a treatment that might possibly cure it. It drives me nuts and I feel so bad for the animals because you can only imagine what kind of pain they must be feeling. Something really needs to change, because I am so sick of those questions. But, as irritating as those questions are, I do at least try to tell the person what I think might be wrong with their pet and I try to be as nice as possible. But still, what good will a correct internet diagnosis do? We can tell people what their pets might have, and we might get it right, but we can’t treat them. Aye, I just want to scream at those people and slap ‘em upside the head…
