Weedwhacker - it seems to be a dilemma in our strange world today that we actually listen to our professionals (vets, doctors, etc.) and then go on Google to see if folks there confirm our vets, etc. advice. I realize that I am part of that mindset when my first thought was to see what the web had to say. Maybe it is partly because medical professionals too often seem too busy to really talk to us and explain things. So we look to see what total strangers with completely unknown credentials say - they can sound so smart and authoritative until you start investigating what agenda or product they are actually promoting. Dr. Mixon (the vet) is not one that does not explain - she explains things and I guess it was my fault that I did not get more information from her. I told her I would think about the Pulse therapy and I will.
I know these little dogs frequently have dental problems in spite of recommended cleanings - those mouths are just too small. So although it may not be ideal to have antibiotics every month, that may be the tradeoff. His liver values are also going in the wrong direction. So I guess I will just have to do what seems best for him right now (liver, teeth, eye) and let the future take care of itself when it comes.
