Completely understandable that you would be overwhelmed by all the info and the situation.
Try telling your vet how you feel about his approach. Remind him that you tried his food and didn’t feel they helped enough.
If he still won’t help you find a solution perhaps threaten to go elsewhere. He is still running a business and should care about keeping yours.
Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes and a vet with different experience can make a huge difference. Even if you only have 1 visit.
I love my vets, but after almost a yr of dealing w/ stomach issues I had to try someone else. My family has gone to this place since they opened about 30 yrs ago. I’m glad I did. They had different ideas and were willing to try a different approach. She is sooo much better.
Both vets have kept each other in the loop (which is great for me) and I think the original vet got a new perspective they hadn’t considered.
Every once in a while they still try selling me Hill’s. I just yes them to death and leave w/o buying it.
Luckily the owner is on the board of Hills now so I hope he’ll be able to make them improve things.
As long as your dog is willing to fight you should too. Keep looking until you find your answer.
