We're all laymen here. We're all trying to do the best we can.
Doc was a vet tech, who actually did many full-on veterinary operations/procedures where he worked, and (I believe) is now in the pharmaceutical sales industry. He opened the doors for me many moons ago. He was an invaluable resource for me, even though he is out of dogs now.
Frosty has his own medical training now, that I am sure will continue to be a boon for all of us here.
I made this matter "public" so that everyone could benefit.
It doesn't do the community any good to speak of these things "in private" with one person.
If anyone (including me) is wrong, we should be helping to correct the errors, not kicking each other in the ass, so that we may continuously improve the community data for one and all, so that everyone can benefit. It boggles the mind to think of all the great dogs that have been lost to inadequate care, ignorant application of meds, and straight malpractice. The whole idea behind my book, this place, and continuously upgrading articles is to keep current as best we can as laymen, and adjust where necessary.
If this info helps someone here adjust their own methods, and by doing so helps them save one game dog that would otherwise have been lost, than it was worth all this typing and effort
