Name chance because he knows I'm on here.
My dog is suffering from osteoarthritis. He was managing ok with pain meds and anti-inflammatories but over the past 48 hours has deteriorated rapidly.
Took him to the vet and he's been put on injections to help manage the pain and keep him mobile and comfortable.
Called my ex afterwards who had a go at me saying he "didn't want the dog on that drug, he's told me about it before and has read on Google that it causes all sorts of other problems".
For background, my ex became a conspiracy theorist during the pandemic. He's now an anti-vaxer, and takes all these weird and wonderful drugs purchased from the Internet because someone on Reddit said he should. All of his medical opinions, he gets from Dr Google.
The vet even said to me "you'll see all these things on the Facebook groups, but don't be discouraged by them. The veterinary community is really pleased with how pets are responding to the drug".
AIBU to take the opinion of a qualified veterinary over my ex who is not qualified but thinks he knows best?
I'm upset enough as it is, without him giving me a hard time for trying to give my beloved dog a better quality of life.
