We appreciate any comments you may have regarding our web site.
Although a number of veterinarians and pet owners have found the
information available on our web site valuable when confronted with the
difficult decisions that arise when managing the pet animal with cancer,
the information provided here should not be used for diagnosing or
treating a health problem or a disease. It is not a substitute for
professional care. This site is designed for educational purposes only
and is not engaged in rendering medical advice or professional services.
We hope you can understand how impersonal the Internet can be and
that it would be impractical for us to give specific medical advice on
how to care for a pet that we have not examined nor have had any
extended time in establishing a patient relationship (no, a lawyer did
not write this but we’re sure that many lawyers would have said it
this way).
If you have questions that this web site cannot answer, talk to your
veterinarian. If your
veterinarian feels that she or he is unable to answer your questions,
then seek out the closest veterinary medical specialist (maybe even a
veterinary oncologist) or veterinary teaching hospital in your area.
Your questions are very important ones and there are qualified
veterinarians in your area that can answer them.
They are in the best position to provide the care you require for
your pet. Above all else,
remember that the best medical care comes to those who continue to seek
answers to the very questions you pose.
Best of hope.
