There are two sides of the coin here. While we may trust that the vet has the knowledge, we also know our dogs. It is ultimately up to the owner to decide the right course of action. Not everyone gets it right the first time either. Neither the vet nor the owner. I have had a vew encounters with vets who think they know my dog better than me-even with test results staring them in the face. On more that a couple of occassions, I have had to step in and say, "No, this is the route I want to take." But with that decision comes education as well. I think that the consumer, as they grow with knowledge, becomes more adept at reading things on their own and the vets should start to listen and have more open minds to the owner. Just MO. Glad to see, though, that things are on the move for your baby!

I feel we have a pretty Unique Vet. We live in the Champaign Illinois area which is home to the Vet School at the University of Illinois.
Our Vet was a physical therapist for people first, and then decided to go to Vet School, so he brings an interesting mix to his practice.
His practices is called SportsVet Animal Medical Center and he is located in Savoy IL. Here is a link describes his unique practice.
