DISCLAIMERWhile every endeavor is made to provide reliable, useful advice on this forum, not every dog is the same and neither food nor medical treatments can be said to apply equally in every case. You should use this forum as a RESOURCE to guide your own research and to help you in discussions with your vet - but you absolutely should NOT use information here as your sole basis for changing foods or for self-medicating your dog.This forumdoes notin any way substitute for veterinary services and/or expertise. While we do have one MS-owner vet whogenerouslyparticipates with us on this forum, it is certain that she herself would want you to verify anything/everything you may pick up here with your own vet who knows your dog better than anyone else. Likewise, we cannot vouch for ANY of the medical or nutritional advice given here; follow any suggestions at your own risk.The purpose of this forum is to encourage you to form an alliance with your vet - making a team that will be better able to serve your dogs' needs because BOTH of you have some information to work with instead of you as owner just taking everything for granted.While the vast majority of veterinarians are well-trained and have only the best of intentions, not EVERY vet has graduated in the top 10% of his/her class, and, like all of us,not every vet has a good day every day. Mistakes *are* made as in every other profession.Therefore - better educated owners make for healthier pets in alliance with their (carefully selected) well-educated & up-to-date vets.Please note that the forum owner takes no responsibility for the posts of others which may or may not contain legitimate information/advice/comments. It is the forum readers' responsibility to check out any information gleaned from this board before implementing it. We have no way to verify every claim made on this forum. Please bear that in mind at all times.Best wishes to all,Tania
