Difficult problems are better handled by going to the hospital

These days, the "Wei Zexi incident" has been widely discussed online. From this event, we can also see some hidden dangers that exist on the internet. Indeed, nowadays we have already developed a certain dependency on the internet, and when confused, we easily turn to Baidu to seek solutions. Pet ownership is no different. Compared to going to the hospital, many owners might prefer to find answers online, but could pets one day also become victims like "Wei Zexi"?

The knowledge online is mixed; some answers are indeed well-reasoned, but others carry strong personal biases. As for certain treatment plans, their applicability is quite limited, and we cannot rule out some chance factors involved. After all, the reason these treatments are not widely adopted definitely exists.

For pet cats and dogs, owners' biggest concern should be infectious diseases. Due to high mortality rates and expensive treatment costs, some even turn to the internet to seek treatment plans after ineffective hospital visits lasting several days. Actually, it is easy to find treatment schemes for infectious diseases like canine distemper or parvovirus on Baidu; some shared by pet doctors online. Even if the treatment plan is correct, many medications are not available for us to buy independently. Others are simply folk remedies. Though these infectious diseases are terrifying, some pets recover on their own. So, in a certain sense, it may not be these folk remedies that worked.

If it is just an ordinary cold, we can adopt some online advice, of course, under the premise of drug safety. If it is a more serious illness, then hospital treatment is definitely more appropriate. Otherwise, if the pet really encounters an accident, regret will be too late. Some pet hospitals might indeed be unreliable, but most regular hospitals can be trusted.
