drferox: drferox: Since there was apparently a need, I made a couple of images to explain why asking for veterinary advice online will often be met with silence, and why you just shouldn’t do it. Get a vet on the phone and they will tell you if you need to bring the animal in. I have tried to keep civil, but I do have very strong opinions on the topic. I’ve heard all the excuses. I don’t care, you call your local clinic. @why-animals-do-the-thing and anyone else who feels the need to use these images, you are most welcome to reblog, repost, reply with or otherwise use these images anywhere they will be helpful. Still relevant. Veterinary medical examining boards are the governing groups for each state who decide what a VPCR looks like, a veterinary-patient-client relationship needs to be in place for your vet to prescribe meds or make a diagnosis. Currently in veterinary medicine, that cannot exist via email, blogs, online forums, etc. A vet has to have met and examined your pet in person. It’s not a matter of vets not wanting to help you, it’s that by diagnosing or prescribing for you without a VPCR in place, they risk losing their license. -- source link
