I'm just getting tired of those people who think you should whisk your dog off to the vet every single time something seems a little strange. I personally don't have a lot of faith in most vets. I don't really think they know all that much. The only things my vets have ever told me were:
a. we have to put your pet to sleep, nothing can cure it
b. bring your pet in for more shots/exams
Because I went against our veterinarian's advice, Heidi lived 6 years longer than she would have if we had allowed them to put her to sleep when she was having that neck pain. But lo and behold, I said no fucking way, Heidi's neck improved, and she went the remaining 6 years of her life with no trouble, and died peacefully in her sleep.
They did fucking surgery to remove a tumor from my cat's head, missed a chunk, and it grew to about 5 times it's original size, exploded in his head, burst through his skin and made him brain dead. Meanwhile a hole the size of his ear was constantly leaking red puss from his head. They, of course, had to put him down when we took him to the vet.
I'm sorry but they cost so fucking much money and they have never helped me or my pets.
