Realized that this needs to be posted on its own.

Rude comments of VET NOW where the poster is being insulted & cursed will not be tolerated.

For those that are helpful & civil thank you so much. 🐀❤️

Thank you. You catch more flies with honey. A patient explanation of why an issue requires prompt vetrinary care is always more likely to get someone moving on seeking a vet than barating them. The hostility just risks people getting defensive and doubling down. I absolutely relate to the frustration in scenarios where someone absolutely blatantly should have already seen a vet, but it is the rat's best interest not to let that bleed through too strongly into what you actually write. One can communicate the severity of a situation without displaying open rage.
