Is it fair to characterize statutes of limitations (for any crime) as “giving comfort” to criminals, or are they not based on a broader sense of justice, given that with the passage of time it becomes difficult or impossible to gather trustworthy evidence in any type of case? — PolitiTweet.org

@amberllab Completely unfair for you to say I framed "all" corporate vets as "greedy and incompetent." I simply shared my experience, without saying anything close to your characterization (which I would never say, because I don't believe it). — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

@caramarann @amberllab Understood. Just sharing my personal experience. YMMV. You'll notice I never named my vet, intentionally. But if I'd kept my dog there, she would almost certainly have died, from a not-particularly-rare disease. Sharing in case it helps another pet owner find solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

@amberllab I advised getting a second opinion from another vet if you're not getting solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

@sashagillin It’s scary! — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

@kabyr I didn’t take any pictures of her at her worst; it was just too sad. But if you Google image “EPI dog” that’s about how she was. Soon as we started the supplements, everything started improving including her energy levels and she already looks better. — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

@kabyr Actually they’re both today, different angles! She’s slowly gaining back weight but you should have seen her two weeks ago. It was heartbreaking. 😢 — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

@sashagillin It is! But very treatable. And my (new) vet says the steroids for IBD were actually *detrimental* for a dog with EPI. — PolitiTweet.org

@Chilort So sorry 😞 — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

Sharing this in case anybody else has a pet that isn’t responding to treatment. A second opinion never hurts, and I personally will always go with the local vet from now on./ https://t.co/RuMwasMt5L — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

The disorder is called EPI, and it can mimic IBD. You can Google the symptoms if you want, but they’re nasty in either case! Treating for the wrong one is really dangerous. I’m pretty sure my girl would’ve died within a few more weeks if I hadn’t figured it out. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

And within a few seconds, I had a differential diagnosis. Took her to another (local) vet, got her tested for it and began treatment for it, and long story short, I was correct. She’s doing much better, and all she needs is a supplement. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

But she was wasting away so sadly, it was really hard to watch. She was still in pretty good spirits, but so so thin and low-energy. The vet couldn’t figure it out but just kept treating her for the initial diagnosis. And then, I started googling! 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon

Spent too much $ on tests, special food, supplements, medication, appointments. She just kept losing weight. I came home from a trip a couple of weeks ago and she was scary-emaciated. I started preparing my kids for the idea that she probably would not make it. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

A thread you can ignore if you’re not a dog person: This sweet girl, our 7yo rescue mix (Boxer/Dane?) started having a cluster of weird symptoms several months ago. Took her in for veterinary care at a national chain./ https://t.co/Ev5c9jEEEc — PolitiTweet.org
