Dog Health Advice

Dog Health Questions on Yahoo?
It never ceases to amaze me how many people seem to think that potentially serious and life threatening Illnesses and injuries can be diagnosed and treated by posting a question here.
The answers they get are invariably “take your dog to the Vet now!!” or well meaning folk try to help with answers that may be right or may be wrong.
Shouldn’t Yahoo split the Dog section into two and call one “Dog Health”?
Every time someone posts a question under Dog Health they could get a message and email saying something like:
“If you are worried about any aspect of your Dog’s health we strongly advise you to seek appropriate advice from a Veterinary Surgeon”.
I totally agree. If my dog was vomitting, had bloody stool, or was screaming in pain (which we`ve all heard on here before), the LAST thing I would be thinking of is to get on my computer and log into Yahoo. Then again, I have an emergency fund of $1500 for my dog, that stays topped-up at all times, so I would never ever find myself in a position where I `can not afford` to take him to the vet.
I don`t think anything we, or Yahoo, does will stop people from trying to find a quick, cheap (or free) fix for their Dogs Health problems. People shouldn`t even own pets, if they aren`t prepared for the medical expenses that can be associated with illness, disease, and other emergencies.

Advice Online $173 Advice Online presents a comprehensive study of advice-giving in one particular American Internet advice column, referred to as Lucy Answers’. The discursive practice investigated is part of a professional and educational health program managed by an American university. The study provides insights into the linguistic realization of both asking for and giving advice in a written form and thus adds to the literature on advice columns as a specific text genre, on advice in health care contexts, and on Internet communication. The book offers a comprehensive literature review of advice in health encounters and other contexts, and uses this knowledge as a basis for comparison. Advice Online demonstrates how qualitative and quantitative research methods can be successfully combined to arrive at a comprehensive analysis of a discursive practice. It provides essential information on advice-giving for researchers, academics and students in the fields of (Internet) communication, media studies, pragmatics, social psychology and counseling. Health educators who work for advice columns or use similar forms of communication will also benefit from the insights gained in this study. |
