Being a vet nurse I tend to get what I want in the end
Thought you might be

Katie's a dog. He dismisses it - listens & then does his own thing. I cant grumble, theyve been very good with her. She couldnt tolerate Propalin & has her on Incurin, bit concerned about it but at end of day she isnt going to get better with renal disease & she might as well have something that'll help her other problem.

I used to work with a vet like that. If it wasn't a 'drug' then it wasn't worth the breath it took to discuss it. Like I say everyone has differing opinions, but as far as Tara is concerned, the supplements haven't done any harm. I don't know if it's the diet or the supplements that are helping, but whatever it is it's doing the job I want it to do She's on propalin too, borderline renal function at the moment but we're doing regular blood tests. What with that and her glucosamine she's a walking pharmacy

Anyway I've gone a bit off topic, typical me sorry Shelly!
