Use common sense people !! If the cat sick take it to the vet !!

Use common sense people !! If cat sick take it to the vet.

If your human child were sick would you go ask a stranger on the street what
to do or post your question in a newsgroup about kids ?!?!?!?

If you can not afford health care for it then maybe it is time to think about
surrendering it to someone who can and will !!

If my child is a bit feverish but it doesn't seem bad, yes I'll ask the
people around me, at work, friends, whatever, if they encountered that
situation and how to help relieve it.

Then if they don't, then I'll take him to the doc.

So I fail to see what your point is. The Internet is an online
community, where people ask question to peers who live situations
similar to theirs (in this case, people who have cats that are or have
been sick), and get answer from other people's experience.

By your reasoning, we should keep our experiences to ourselves and not
share it, and we shouldn't try to learn from other people's experience ?
Should I go home tonight, start the stove, and put my hand on it to
experience it firsthand, know it's hot and burn myself, or take the
words of my sister who did it by accident a few years ago and believe
her it's not a good idea ?

I think that the point that is being made is that one should not
delay taking a cat to the vet, in the hopes of getting a
cheaper answer here. Cats, as small animals, are as
vulnerable as human babies, not as resilient as older
children are.

I would certainly hope that if your baby were sick, you
would not waste valuable time posting to a newsgroup
and waiting an average of twelve hours to get a response
and then, finally decide it might be worth a trip to the
Emergency Room. Especially when the only reliable
advice one can give regarding illness on a newsgroup
is to go get it check out at the appropriate facilities.
A diagnosis can never be made without a proper
physical exam.

There is that, and there is a sense of been there done that. I recall a
couple times that a stomach virus would go around in my child's daycare.
Several of the mothers would let others know. There was nothing that the
doctor could do other than prescribe rest and fluids. Sometimes if judging
from experience I knew she wasn't close to being dehydrated, despite what it
appeared, I'd save her the trip of getting out and driving across town. And
start treatment on my own... keeping a close eye on her of course in case
she did start showing signs of being dehydrated.

It wasn't a newsgroup, but child care grapevine does much in the same way.

I agree though, severe unusual symptoms deserve a vet.

who has a vet tale now that she thinks about it.

I use Google Groups and I don't think it has a kill-file

A good reason to explore the alternatives if Google doesn't suit you.

Or a good reason to just delete the cross-posted ng's before you hit Send,
if in fact you feel you absolutely HAVE to reply to this sort of drivel.
