Can I just ask one simple question:

Why would you hesitate to take your dog to the Vet, and instead ask a bunch of people on Ridemonkey?

well it was around 4 in the morning when i noticed it...and i know there's a bunch of dog people on here, so i figured it couldn't hurt

Personally I won't make a move about anything until I get it cleared here.

It took several threads including a poll and 1 ad in the Buy and Sell forum before I got the green light to take my child to the doctor. I think she's going to be ok, but I still need to start a thread to see if it's ok to go pick her up. (this was 7 weeks ago...)

I once held my breath waiting for the Ridemonkey folks to tell me it was safe and Ridemonkey-approved (TM) for us to breathe.

My head still hurts from that passing out that happened while waiting for the O.K. from the Monkeys.

Now my most pressing question for the Monkeys is, why can't I get any bike I want with a rootbeer frame coating?

okay. I was just wondering why someone would ask in here. I hope you realize that the veterinarian's diagnosis is based on an examination of your dog, and not just your story of what the dog is doing. I hope you realize that means that someone else's dog can do what your dog was doing and have it be caused by a number of other things aside from whatever ails your dog.

You know, like a human can have a headache because he held his breath for too long, or because he drank too much alcohol the night before, or because he forgot to wear a helmet and crashed in the skate park, or because his girlfriend found out he cheated on her and whacked him on the noggin with her purse.:biggrin:

Hey, aren't you on Pink Bike?

I am here to out you:
When SkaredShtles was just a boy, a neighborhood dog he had befriended gave him ear mites.
The next morning at school all the children were laughing at him and saying he had dog lice. They gave him a wedgie and pulled up his shorts really high, and threw bacon at him as if were a dog treat.
As SS sat there with his thighs glowing eating the bacon he one day dreamed of getting even with all dogs by making bad tasteless jokes about them on the intarweb.
Revenge is sweet!

Dude - I was drunk when I told you that. You're not supposed to spill that kind of $hit when told in drunken confidence.

Ridemonkey isn't a bunch of veterinarians. And I'm willing to bet that you don't even know personally most of the people who post here, so for all you know, they could be talking out of their asses when they give their opinions.

Take your dog to the Vet. If you own a dog, you ought to love and respect the dog enough to treat it properly, which includes proper health care at the veterinarian.

Sheesh.

Its simple, its just like using a lifline asking the audiance in who wants to be a millioinaire. 99.9% of the time the audiance is right, and if this doesnt work for you i would try askjeeves.com

Wow - there sure are a bunch of dicks on this Ridemonkey thing.

he keeps walkin around the house shaking his head like somethings in his ear...i looked in both his ears but i didn't see anything, he does have fleas right now so maybe one jumped inside his ear, but he's not scratching at it at all, also when i tried to look in his left ear he seemed heasitent(sp)...i scractched his left ear for a couple min and he looked like he was in heaven, now he's laying down and hasn't shook for a couple of min...maybe that was all he needed...but just incase it wasn't, anyone got any ideas as to what could be up

Ear infection... our dog just went through it.
