This is just a reminder for all members.
It is illegal to give out medical advice for an animal unless you are a veterinarian with an existing patient/doctor relationship. Giving medication dosages, diagnosis of a condition and the like does qualify as medical advice.
Please remember that none of us are veterinarians and that while some of us do have a veterinary background, we are not qualified to diagnose or treat any animal mentioned on the board.
We as a forum / board recommend that you consult with a qualified veterinarian if you have a concern about your pet's health or behavior.
Note: If you choose to give medical advice, you (not the Animal Care Forum / Board or it's owners) are responsible for any ramifications that may come of it. If an owner follows that advice and chooses to sue you after a poor outcome, you will be liable.
