I give shots and vaccinations. Sometimes I have to expel bladders for animals who are paralyzed or damaged. I do hydrotherapy and exercises for animals who have hurt themselves (ACL tears are one of reasons!). I give medications and so much more. This is 6 days a week. Often 12+ hours a day. I don't understand why I was being looked down on for offering help to a stranger. Conservative Management is a real thing. There have been animals on deaths bed who I have helped rehabilitate. Sometimes people can't afford sudden big medical bills. Especially emergency vet bills. I'm just here to help. Sorry I was childish, but WOW was I upset and shocked at what was said. I would love for this thread to die :/

    EDIT: SnowShredder lets agree to disagree please.
    But from what I understand, you are not an actual VETERINARIAN, so you are out of bounds to be giving veterinary advice - especially if she is (obviously) having her dog treated by a vet. Even then, a veterinarian wouldn't be giving such advice over the internet without seeing the patient first-hand. There are legal consequences that could come from doing so.
    She never said your experiences were untrue. She simply stated that the type of injury that her dog has do not heal on her own. I'm not educated in this field (yet), so I cannot comment.
