OMG people can't we just wait and see what she has to say if she is allowed to do so? You are all making very big assumptions 'she isn't a vet' 'she is a vet' 'she gave good advice' 'she made it up and hoped for the best' but all these things you're saying are pointless because she can't reply to them. It's just a soap box this thread, it's not getting anybody anywhere. And it's true what Miss W said, it IS just a forum. The only reason I'm involved is because Emmsy pm'd me and I agreed to take a small part in it down to the fact I am curious and I have the time on my hands at the moment after my operation to give her a bit of support. If she turns out to be genuine I made a good judgment and if she turns out to be another product of the internet asylum I am no worse off. But I think this is out of control and should have stopped at BigC's last post really, what he said, read it again - the decision will take some time and this thread could get boring before it becomes productive in any way whatsoever. Plus imagine how she feels if she's telling the truth and she can't reply to anything here, how frustrating that must be... I think the thread should stop really, for now. Can it be locked? Out of respect for the fact that she isn't here to at least put her side to it.
