Reading your above posting, you could not be more correct on being careful about what one reads! We read many things on the net both during and after our Taz was put down. He had bone cancer.

However, I do not agree with your comment about chiropractors. Unless they have documentation of an actual course of study and hands on veterinary experience to go along with that study, they need to leave the treatment of animals alone, and go back to what they are trained to do, human treatment. If a chiropractor is practicing on animals without the professional levels of education that are required your local state veterinary licensing board or have approval from that board, people are taking chances with these chiropractors in letting them treat their animals. How do these chiropractors know what to do? Certainly, they just cannot read a book or internet material and say that they know how to treat animals. Unfortunately, we know this from our own situation. The chiropractor basically flat out lied to the both of us, right to our faces. Not only regarding his levels of knowledge of how to treat our dog’s cancer, and how bad the cancer was, but he and his wife gave us very false hopes. Further, for him to get his license here every year he signs an affadavit that states that he has read the rules and regulations of chiropractic, and our general statutes. In our state, he was and is not able to practice ANY type of veterinary medicine. Even if he does not charge for the visit, he is not allowed to treat animals. In our situation, it is a pretty clear cut case that this chiropractor had no idea what he was doing, and was very dishonest.

In closing, not only be careful in what you READ, but be careful in who you or your family members entrust the care of your four legged loved one’s!
