>Horse Flu : A Case of Canine Influenza
WOW!!!! I am beginning to question the value of blog sites like this!! You read the first blog by John and you think he did his research and flu shot is a bad idea. It looks like he did his research by calling an expert hopsital like Oradell!! BUT…. then you read the article in the Record as noted above and you realize that John probably never spoke to Oradell because thier head doctor says vaccination is a good idea!!! Hey John, where did you get your info from or maybe I should ask who do you work for ???
I am really p—ed at the people who knock the Ridgewood vet hospital. They are trying to do the right thing which you should GET because they make you get a Flu shot so everyone is safe and you are saying they just want to make money. We have our dog and our cat groomed at Ridgewood Veterinary Hospital and I know that they would make more money on the grooming than they would on two vaccines. So when they turn people away without a vaccine they are LOSING MONEY!!!! You don’t have to be a genius to see that.
I am speaking out for Ridgewood vet hospital because a year ago they told me I should get a shot for something called leptospirosis that can kill a dog. I didn’t get it cause I was to busy. Well two months ago my dog almost died of leptospirosis but Dr. Cerf saved him!!!! If I’d gotten the shot when Dr. Cerf told me I could have saved a ton of money!!!
So the bottom line is: Who do we trust? A guy named John who says Oradell doesn’t suggest flu vaccine a week before Oradell is in the newspare reommending it or a doc like Cerf who has taken care of my pets since I was a little kid and took care of my Mom’s dog at midnight in the middle of a snow storm?? Daaaaaa?????

Dear Angry,
I feel quite the opposite about TRB…it gives us a place to air ALL our views. It’s up to us to filter the content as we see fit. Oradell’s policy may have changed between the first comment and now or they’re all not on the same page. My pets have gone to Oradell, RVH and currently go to Glen Rock Animal Hosp. Why? Dr Steve is great vet, gives personalized attention to my pets and I spend about 1/3 annually than I did at OAH and RVH. If anyone asked me, I would wholeheartedly recommend them.
That’s the value of this blog. Discussion, communication, information, opinion. Thanks PJ!
