My advice is you take your vet's advice. Yes, your vet knows what's right for your pet so follow his/her advice. Sources: suggestion .

Cindy and I have a veterinarian (Dr Rice - The Stillwater Vet Clinic in Stillwater Mn) who in our opinion can walk on water. There is no doubt in our mind that we could not find a better veterinarian anywhere in the country. Dr. Rice truly loves and cares about animals.

I could write an article praising this man. His professionalism, the way he cares about the welfare of animals is simply amazing. One only has to be around him for a few minutes to trust and like him.

All I can say is he that he inspires me. The unfortunate that Dr Rice is not them model to be used by all vets. In fact the sad thing is that he is a rare gem of a person.It is my opinion the majority of Vets are financially motivated and morally corrupt.

This is based on my experience with over the past 50 years of owning, breeding and training dogs. I have little doubt that every person who enters Vet school does so with good intentions. I would guess that every young person who chooses a career in Veterinary medicine loves animals and wants to spend their life working with animals.

A few maintain this compassion throughout their career. We happen to know and trust several people like this. They have our trust, they have our respect and we like to think of them as friends.

After all these years I have come to the conclusion that a Vet must earn our trust and respect. They are not anointed with it the day they hang a DVM behind their name. We no longer automatically anoint a person just because we walk into their office and they have a diploma on the wall that's says DMV.

Unfortunately our experience is that the majority people who become Vets don't deserve any respect at all. In fact far to many of them are incompetent prostitutes who should have their licenses revoked. The fact is something happens to these people after they graduate from Vet school.

Many Vet school graduates turn into arrogant asses. They develop the GOD SYNDROM with egos the size of automobiles (you see this with human doctors too). Whatever happens don't question their diagnosis or their experience.

They have Doctors of Veterinary Medicine (DMV) behind their name and you dam well better respect that fact. The perfect example of this is seen when you ask a Vet about the all-natural diet.98% of them will belittle the concept. A recent Vet conference in Las Vegas had a meeting on the all-natural diet.

It focused on how to sell customers off of the concept.I.E. Pet owners are not qualified to understand the nutritional needs their dogs. Hmmmmm! Most people do a pretty good job of feeding themselves, their children and their family.

When Vets make comments like this in my book it's the same as calling their client stupid. Give me a break. Many Vets become cynical because they graduate from Vet school and quickly find out that they will never get rich in this profession.So they try and prove that theory wrong by selling services that the pet owners don't need.

They in effect become what I call a Veterinary prostitute. There is a link on our web board from a TV station in Southern CA. That just did an investigation into Vets.

They took the same animal to 10 different Vet clinic. It is Unbelievable what all of these vets recommended.No two were the same and a number of them were outright criminal in what they recommended. Maybe you should recommend your local TV station do a similar investigation Sources: http://leerburg.com/vets.htm .

1 See if you can teach her to walk on her hind legs like Faith does ( cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/04/earlyshow... ). Then she might not need the wheels at all.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
