Why do so many pet owners with seriously sick or injured pets ask people on the internet what they?

I agree - similar situation here on HP. Luckily the author took the advice from myself and another hubber. It save the pet's life, but it does make you wonder.

I work at a big chain pet store... people bring me sick and injured pets all the time asking what to do. I don't really understand this behavior either, but I invariably tell them the same thing - take them to a vet! The next question is almost always " how much do you think it'll cost?

It could have something to do with the economy. More and more do it yourselfers are evolving every day because they can't afford professionals. Same could be true when fluffy is sick.

Vets can definitely cost you. So jump online and probably get marginal advice. Not that it's smart, but that's my guess.

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.
