The bad advice on the pet forum?

"i dont have the money to spay my dog" Answer: spay her yourself. all you do is cut her open and take out the two circles inside her then sew her back up or use duct tape.

"well, if you dont like it, get rid of him..hes just a puppy and wont learn"

All of the above. Also,yes,it's fine to breed your 6 month old "teacup" Chi or to let your 10-year-old dog have pups. Not treating broken bones Keeping animals outside with no shelter is just fine It's OK to let a 6 week old kitten outside by itself Dogs and cats need to have a litter before they are spayed.... I could go on forever,there are so many ignorant people!!!

put oil on a horses wound...i know they did that in the old days but nowadays it can seriously injure a horse!

The worst advice must have been some I gave,although I have no idea what it was. Someone told me that and said I don't belong here.

It's hard to remember them all, there are so many unfortunately. The advice to give Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and other medications on your own. Bath a dog in motor oil to get ride of mange. Bite your dog back when he bites you. Smack your puppy if he misbehaves. Pin your dog on the ground and sit on him to show him who's boss. If your puppy is vomiting blood and has bloody diarrhea, give him some grass to eat to settle his stomach. There are lots more, but I think I try to block them out of my mind, some are so bad.

the worst ive heard is just dont take care of it just leave it the pet will heal its self i wass soo mad i went off on them. but you can give your do benadril if hes itching or inflamed but they should still c a vet and if you cant afford medical treatmet for your pet then dont have one at all period

several of them have made me angry and or sick. one was just a few days ago. a person had a cat giving birth and the kit had been stuck halfway for hours. someone told the person to just let the cat relax or put her in a room by herself (best answer) when I told them the kit was stuck and a trip to the vet was needed. no telling how long the poor cat labored on but apparently it did finally give birth. the first kit was dead of course. then there are those that pander to irresponsible owners and coo at them and validate their rants about NOT having their pet spayed or neutered. I hope none of those animals die from a pyometra, it is ghastly and I am positive that the pet would have rather been spayed than to die a horrible death..anyways... there are hundreds but I can't name them all *LOL* this already sounds like the beginning of a rant

What you've quoted people saying probably is the worst I have seen. For the person saying it is illegal to give advice. People have a responsibility to research the answers given to them and yahoo has stated for legal reasons, it can not "guarantee the accuracy of any yahoo! answers content." A vet giving advice on here would not be considered a respectable vet in my opinion. Vets that I know require seeing the animal in person before any diagnosis is given.
