I always loved animals and thought about being a vet tech..then... I got sick..which led me down the rabbit hole into big pharma...thats when I felt disgusted at our medical system. NOW I loathe the medical system. Big pharma also killed my dog along with the help of my FORMER vet. She was my best friend..and I will hate that man forever. He was her vet for 13 yrs. He KNEW the love I had for her..but he was heartless in the end...

Phantom same here..but was injurred @ 23 yrs with a TBI which drastically changed my options.
Went through Drs too...discovered specialist put me on a DRUG that was making me like a ZOMBIE...they were trying to control brain waves triggering seizures.
Prayed for direction..weined myself off drug and learned to pay attention to: Sleep, diet & stress...then went to Rutgers to finish degree...

In the fire for STRESS TRAINING.
Had a sweet dog that was OVER JABBED before I got him...Vet always said jabs no issue...
I TRUST MY DISCERNMENT more then Vet/Dr opinions. Tig lived to be 13 but was always sickly.
I adored him...he taught me so much! I didn't follow Vet's directives ... did NOT purchase VET Prescriptive food... Researched out lower protein Healthy food...Vet said Tig would not have lived as long were he not under my care.

Phantom FORGIVE their foolishness...love them anyway...some don't see what you see...we see...
LOOK AT COV!
Born for such a time as this...YOU are

I have pondered how to respond to you for some time. It's hard to condemn a vet when I was guilty too. I HATED some of our "procedures" but was not a strong person to stand up, and couldn't anyway, because I was merely a lowly tech. I'm so sorry you had a heartless vet, some don't realize that an animal is NOT a pet, they are FAMILY!!! For some, that is the only children they have! Old or young, they deserve respect and compassion, in treating and in death. I live in a small town, with only 1 clinic, and since I realized that pharma equates early death, I have been refused grooming services and vet services. I have treated my dogs and cows with oregano as anitbiotic and garlic as wormer. I'm sorry for ranting, just don't know how to accurately say what is in my heart
