It is scarey business, I know that!!

Oh and as for why vets don’t learn much about nutrition, they have to learn about all the health problems and diseases of many, many different species. There are small animals like cats, dogs, 50 different types of birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, mice, hampsters, rats. There are large animals like horses, cows, goats, sheep, llamas. Then there are exotics like zoo animals, I’m not even going there. They would have to go to school for 20 years to learn all of it, so they whittle down what they think is not as important, or what could be a specialty. Human doctors don’t get much nutrition either, and they only have to learn about the diseases of one species, and they have foisted off a lot more to specialties too.
