Don't believe me? Just google "veterinary malpractice" or "veterinary incompetence." I THANK my lucky stars that my vet of the past 30 years is skilled and not just out to make a buck. Just a *few* of the "stupid vet" cases friends of mine have suffered: 1)on a routine spay, the vet sewed the bitch's urethra shut and she died two days later from not being able to urinate 2)on a routine spay, the vet (different vet from case 1) didn't stitch properly and the bitch died after her guts spilled out on her owner's kitchen floor 3) a vet diagnosed a gravely ill puppy as having parvo and sent it home to die. I rushed my friend & her pup to my vet. The pup was hyperglycemic (low blood sugar) ONLY, and was brought back to health with corn syrup. 4) an elderly woman, another friend of mine, had a small dog (a mongrel, NOT a purebred) suffer seizures. Local stupid vet gave the woman $6000 estimate of a bill that included MRI and probably brain surgery. She was on a fixed income and was about to have the dog put down. I took the dog to my vet, who put it on $10 of phenobarbital, which solved its problem (epilepsy). <br />And SO on and SO on. And then there's the "stifle scam" where a vet frightens an owner into $2500 surgery to fix a dog's "loose" stifles, despite the dog never having limped. This OUTRAGES the veterinary orthopedic surgeon who is a good friend of mine, who says "IF A DOG DOES NOT LIMP, THERE IS NO NEED TO FIX A LOOSE STIFLE!!" The "stifle game" is a means for unscrupulous vets to make their next BMW payment. <br />So my point is: before people start accepting the word of X-random veterinarian as the word of god, THINK AGAIN!!! Many are FAR from being experts, or even ethical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-75443787083132540892012-03-11T16:22:08.760+00:002012-03-11T16:22:08.760+00:00You can see it because the animal-rights brainwash...You can see it because the animal-rights brainwashing of the general public is effective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-45699534413286554182012-03-11T16:18:53.533+00:002012-03-11T16:18:53.533+00:00It's NOT NOT NOT nonsense.

The AKC has lobbied strenuously in opposition to nearly every animal welfare legislative effort, at a local and federal level, that has been proposed in the States in the last decade. The HSUS, an advocacy organization, has been slandered by numerous right wing, industry funded lobbying groups disguised as animal welfare advocates (HumaneWatch, National Animal Interest Alliance, etc)by distortion of fact and calculated misrepresentation of position.

The Pugs legs are also not as deformed which further hinders the amount of walking it takes before the Peke is flustered followed shortly by raised heart rate extreme panting, over haeting & exhaustion etc.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025792092310344317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183957703077342201.post-26089625582640574272012-03-09T01:38:34.979+00:002012-03-09T01:38:34.979+00:00Good news from Crufts.... a Victory for dogs.
