Terms Of Use For All Readers Of This Website

Dear Viewer,

I am not a substitute for direct, hands-on veterinarian examination of your pet and I don’t believe that similar online websites are either – regardless what they might claim. The best I can do is explain your pet’s health issues to you and offer you the same suggestions I would if you, your pet and I were all together. You can communicate with me directly through and email to or a video calling apps. Corresponding with me in that way and furnishing me with tests you have already had performed or symptoms you have observed might give me sufficient information to help out based on my many years as a practicing veterinarian. If you have questions regarding the information and treatment options given in my articles I will explain them to you as best I can. BUT SPECIFIC TREATMENT DECISIONS MUST BE MADE BY YOU AND YOUR ATTENDING, LOCAL VETERINARIAN. If you or I believe that your pet needs a specific medication, surgery or procedure we can discuss if that need is real, but am no longer able to perform surgery, procedures, or dispense medication. However I might well suggest a veterinarian who is located in your area.

Dear reader, Besides your donations, visits to the products that Google and others display on this website help defray some of the costs of keeping my articles online to keep you informed. As you already know, sites like mine that intentionally use no AI robots and are not written to Sell You Things are getting harder and harder to find., Best wishes to you and all the little furries that depend on you.
