Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I'm actually surprised the update posts lasted as long as they did. I read them daily, don't recall commenting much (if ever), but gave a daily updoot for support.
I certainly don't blame the mod ( u/catsfive ) for asking that the topic be moved here to GC, but for anyone who wanted to review the entire fenben journey (still in progress) of attempted lifesaving efforts, it will disrupt the ability to do so easily using the post title search function. Observable behavior in a non-verbal patient with regards to drug reactions and efficacy is a medically-sound approach to monitoring the patient be they canine, human or any other.
I'd seen the dog dad's reply to c5, cut him some slack as this is a stressful time for him and his wife. I agree with you and c5 that GC is the proper place for this topic currently. Good of you to ask him to reconsider as we're still interested in the daily update and it's just as easy to post the info in a comment here as it is to create a separate post. Like you and several others here, I do hope the dog dad reconsiders.
