me every day begging ppl on facebook to listen to their actual vet and not someone on the internet who has zero qualifications whatsoever
#person: six vets have told me i should feed my cat this clinically proven prescription diet that literally doubles the life expectancy#of cats with this condition. but ppl on facebook say i shouldn't :/ what do i do#me: FUCKING FEED IT TO HIM OBVIOUSLY#some other fucking dingbat: just lie to the professional who is trying to save your cat's life ;) and feed them raw chicken instead#im TEARING MY HAIR OUT.#they'll all be like “every single vet tells me i should feed the specially formulated prescription food. idk why tho”#BECAUSE IT WORKS. IT FUCKING WORKSSSSSS#and then i show up like “hey my cat has had this disease for almost 2 years and hasn't progressed basically at all”#and they'll be like “omg what's your secret bestie” and expect me to list off a dozen random supplements or meds#or weird products that have no evidence behind them except “someone on fb said it was good”#and im like IT'S THE FOOD. I FEED HER THE SPECIAL DIET LIKE I WAS TOLD TO. THAT'S IT.#it's so exhausting and im tired of having this fight#but also if i can convince even one person to actually follow their vet's advice and give their cat the proper food. how can i not#it upsets me so much tho. like im in the group because they are helpful in some ways. there are vets IN the group#and they help you interpret blood test results and stuff and they are genuinely good in some ways#but when food is the number 1 most important thing you can do for ckd cats#and EVERYONE in this fucking group will just immediately try and talk every scared newbie with a sick cat into ignoring their vet's advice.#it boils my piss honestly#im half expecting to be kicked out of the group at some point cos most if not all of the admins including the lady who runs the group#are on the same bullshit. but what can i do#at least i did get some satisfaction the other day when one of the admins (who is a vet but can't give advice bc like. that's illegal#when she hasn't seen the cat in question) asked one lady what her vet thought abt x#and the lady was like “oh i don't trust my vet i prefer talking to you guys :)”#and the admin was like. okay well you're a fucking idiot. get off facebook and talk to an actual veterinary professional
