Avoid these 5 common mistakes some veterinarians make

Dr Jones shows you the top 5 common mistakes he sees veterinarians make based on his experience. Ensure that your vet is NOT doing these, and what you can do to ensure your pet gets better health care.
My 15.5 year old cat has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I am unsure if I should treat her with the conventional medication which could harm her kidneys or just use a natural supplement.
And now to my dog:
I made a big mistake when I blindly trusted my ex vet when he right away felt that my dog had Cushing’s. The blood tests apparently proved this. However my ex vet never asked me if my dog was a very anxious dog. I have done my research in the meantime and realize to diagnose Cushing’s is not that easy.
Long story short: after 2 months of being on 60mg Ventoryl my dog had lost so much weight and the vet expressed that the medication did the opposite. My new vet assumes that my dog was misdiagnosed and that even if my dog had Cushing’s the dosage for her weight was too high.
It breaks my heart to see how my dog is losing more and more muscle mass and till now all the supplements are not improving her condition.
Tests have revealed that she is losing a lot of protein in her urine. Unless there is a miracle I feel that my dog will soon head over the Rainbow bridge. I’ve learned to first do my research before I give my pet any chemicals.
Thank you for your caring.
