Was told the DUMBEST thing by a vet tech today!
Did you know that you cant let your dogs eat bones because they will grow back together in the dogs stomach/intestines???

OK that's pretty bad....but not QUITE as bad as one I heard last year. One of the members of my dog training club insists that the reason show German Shepherd backs are "that way" is because the dogs have surgery when young to remove several vertebrae. She said she knows it's true because her vet told her so. No, she doesn't have GSDs, her breed is dobermans.

People amaze me. I wonder what was really said to this lady, and how the original truth got lost in translation. I've even heard vets say some dumb things, but I can't imagine a vet telling a person that all GSDs in the show ring have had vertebrae removed... unless he was trying to be funny or mess with her head! But like I was saying in another thread... vets and vet techs need more training in certain areas. And less training in others--why do they have to spend a year in Chemistry, when they could be spending that time studying what a normal, optimal weight looks like on a dog, so that they know an overweight dog when they see it? And don't get me started on the nutrition training they get... or don't get, as it were. I once heard a gentleman say that the gene that makes a plush coat in the GSD is linked to aggression. That if the dogs of the first generation have plush coats, their 2nd gen offspring would have aggression problems.

She probaly got it all wrong...somebody would have to be really dumb to believe that.
I was at the vet 4 days ago and the tech warned me by saying "raw food is very dangerous for dogs and it causes deseases" I don't listen to vets anymore. |
