thanks for your feedback.

I hate to be that annoying Google University graduate thinking he knows better than someone academically trained but my bullshit detectors go off when he recommends only 2 brands out of a large portfolio of brands.

They also go off when someone refuses to answer questions. On the flip side of the coin I understand every doctor doesn’t have time for every internet conspiracy theorist and listening to their(my) nonsense but at the same time I heard the human MD’s spend something like 2 weeks on nutrition.

If vets spend a similar amount of time then hell, *I’ve* spent more time than that reading papers, websites and speaking with trainers, walkers and pet owners.

At the same time I realize the sheer hubris of me as a layman questioning a medical professional.

I think I will take your advice and get a second opinion, but that second opinion would only be one more vet. What I want is a veterinary nutritionist. Someone academically trained specifically in nutrition and I have no idea how to go about finding such a person and I find if I ask any doctor about a specialist they tend to get offended and blow me off.

Doctors are great people, but they often have huge egos.
