Veterinarian - friend or foe?

Anyone who has a dog, one way or another, faced with a vet. A vaccination dressing, remove the tartar and the need for other procedures lead us pet clinic. In principle, with simple procedures can handle, and the student - an intern, but when you need to determine the correct diagnosis, there is not enough without experience and successful medical activities. In this article I would like to think a bit about who we entrust the health of our pets.



Most often, we go to pet clinic, which are located near our house, and well, if the level corresponds to our requirements: professional, nice staff, reasonable prices, sterility. And we get used to the pleasant, long time friend's uncle, who knows our dogs by name and when meeting shakes her behind the ear. But all this does not mean that he can cope with a serious problem with which we came to him. Few doctors will say honestly that he was not sufficiently competent in this matter. Often, even if so, begins the writing of medical amateur or harmless, but not help drug. Given all this, it makes sense to find a sensible person "in the worst case, even if it is on the other end of town.



Unfortunately, sometimes doctors make mistakes, even the best. Yes, they need to listen, but decisions must not take them, and we, the owners of dogs. No one can force the only way to cure or "urgent" to do a shot. All this is very serious. There are many cases when the incorrect diagnosis of a dog begin to heal from a non-existent disease, and often such treatment leads to weakening and death of the animal. Of course, it wants to shift all the doctors, but alas, responsible owners will still have to understand in each case itself.



Veterinary - not God, moreover, have different doctors often have opposing views about the same ... So it turns out - after visiting the vet, we arrive home, open the encyclopedia, the Internet, and - in advance - to examine the symptoms and treatments. If you have any information, you are not so easily fooled, you can ask specific questions, what may surprise many vet, but in this case there is an opportunity to draw attention to the way he answers your questions, whether he truly wants to help you, or only beginning to prescribe expensive drugs that you can buy them in pharmacies.



Do not blindly believe what the doctor said. If you're a little unsure, or something you are alerted to the man himself - not too lazy to consult at least one more specialist. Turn in all the tests, do an ultrasound or X-rays (if needed), and show the results of several doctors from different clinics. If the diagnosis is confirmed, already there is hope that he is correct. And only after the diagnosis, you can begin treatment. Learn all the possible ways to treat and what alternative treatment options. If you do not care about your dog, do not rush just indiscriminately give her all the prescribed medications, you can cause any harm. Also, do not poke antibiotics or hormones needlessly.



If the dog does not need emergency help from the injection site and not depend on her life, to spelled substances should be treated very cautiously: to observe the dose and all prescriptions. Remember: drugs alter the chemical composition of the organism is, can weaken the immune system, affect the internal making bodies can do without the tablets - take advantage of it. Dog trusts us, we depend on her health and life. Let us be vigilant when choosing a veterinarian, and then everything will be fine!
