This raises an interesting thought...

We (as in pet owners in general) always say "when there's a problem, go talk to your vet" - yet there are countless occasions where vets offer up advice that is completely nonsensical and sometimes even wrong.

Vets are usually the authority on what's right and wrong with animals - yet people with years of hands on experience have different views on particular subjects, and may not even have a college degree of any sort.

So, who is a newb to trust these days?
