I listened to a vet tech tell the owners of a 10 lb dog to feed the dog 7 - 8 cups of their prescription dog food per day! I had to step up and correct her and say no it would be 7/8 of a cup - the dog owners were foreign and the tech didn't have a clue.
I agree , when I ask a vet tech a question she will talk to a vet then tell me what the vet said. My vet never told me to force feed a sick pet , I was told to bring my pet in to be seen. I can understand wanting to keep your pet alive but I look at this way if a person was dying you would not force feed them so why do this to a beloved pet?
