answers
You
can view a veterinarian's reply to the question in this column.
Because there is no substitute for a hands-on, in person evaluation of a
patient that needs medical care, the responses are general in nature and
often touch on a variety of potential causes, diagnostic methods, and
treatments for pet medical issues.
The answers may mention some things you should
discuss further with your local veterinarian, or there may be other things
that seem different than what your veterinarian recommended. Your
own dog or cat's health issue must be treated in person and individually
by your local veterinarian. |
Doctor's Notes
There will be variety of
tips, warnings, and comments in this column. And below the images
you will find links to our sponsors and other useful data
Read the instructions!
Many flea and tick products work from within the skin's oil layer; if you wash
the oils off by shampooing, then apply the medication, it will not work! |

Question: from
a viewer...
How do I know
that the pet health care information and the dog and cat question and
answer topics are valid and credible information?
My vet tells me to be cautious about any
online veterinary medical information.
Thanks,

Answer:
from Director, T. J. Dunn, DVM...
Great
question! I agree
totally with your local veterinarian and I tell my own clients the same
thing. As director of content for this website I control whatever
you see, including who the sponsors are and where the links go. Keep
a critical mindset about what is presented online, including this
site! If you see anything in TheAnswerVet.com that seems in error or
misleading, I want to know about it!
I have two motives for creating this site: The main priority is to give dog and cat owners
quick access to intelligent answers about commonly asked pet care
questions.
The second is to create revenue via the
sponsors. If I put my 40 years of veterinary experience to good use,
and pet owners respond approvingly, to earn a living providing a service
to pet owners is even more enjoyable. |
