nia_kantorkaSorry, I'm busy in RL and I feel a bit torn about what to do first online. So, I did other things and didn't manage to write a post yesterday. Even today I've thought about skipping my post again, but than I thought that's not the right attitude. ;p
Did I do something interesting today? Oh yes, at least imo. I researched on a vet medicine topic at work. That's always a highlight for me (being a vet who doesn't work as one anymore). But we really answer all the questions about cancer. Even when someone thinks about using goat milk or camel pee for therapy. Or they need some information about a therapy for their animal. Today it was about a therapeutic vaccine for a semi-malign skin cancer in horses.
And yes, people ask crazy things sometimes, but - let's be honest - we would too, when looking for the one treatment that must help and kill this devil of a disease. I wish we could always name such a treatment. I really, really do!

I'm on a mission to tell everyone I know, not to feed your pets junk food and table scraps. Give a good dogfood that is grain-free and low carb. Just like human beings, too much of a good thing can have dire consequences.

Yes, too much of good things is still too much, no matter if for an animal or a human.
