How is this vet allowed to conduct themselves like this online?

Let me preface this by saying that I think shouty vet is appalling, and bad for animal welfare, and I disagree with that post.

However, my cushings horse who had been on prascend for years stopped eating and seemed really depressed. My vet rechecked his levels and said she thought they were too low for a horse on prascend. So we took him off it (he was only on half a tablet). He is now inhaling his food and has his personality back. No cushings symptoms. So there are cases where prascend may not be suitable, or may become unsuitable.

Your situation isn't what SV was talking about at all. Veterinary opinion is that where there are symptoms, Prascend should be used. Of course there are times when that's not suitable, but for a vet to say they'll only prescribe it if symptoms can't be managed (and implying that they should be able to be managed), is just irresponsible.

Just had a peek - I cannot see much as I am blocked but she said she is suffering a witch hunt started by a "lovely" vet and continued on social media by someone with a vulgar mouth:oops: she is much too nice to name them though:rolleyes:
Bit “Pot Kettle Black” when she starts witch hunts and incites her followers to attack people on a regular basis 🙈

Wouldn't she be meaning the post by The Clipper Queen on FB?

yes, I was just being silly. But as I've commented on the clipper queens post with some further info about reports that have been made to RCVS etc I'm surprised shes not had a go at me. Shame, as my name has been dragged through the mud on social media enough times that I just don't care whats said about me so better to go after me than someone it might upset.

Comment from SV: " Sadly started by a vet, and a member of the public who sees herself as an expert in a veterinary syndrome that has been around for centuries, but recently been labelled with a name. "

So, does it exist or not? Is it the latest fashion if it's been around for centuries? How does she know?.... So many questions! 😂

I have just shared on my Facebook page a very straightforward and accurate post by someone who is equally alarmed by SV's completely inaccurate and unethical words on CPL. As this lady points out it could be very detrimental to buyers, especially newbies when a rogue dealer (of which there are many sadly) tells them a cob with very obvious CPL has nothing wrong with it. If they have been guided by SV's opinion they would probably agree and buy the poor animal.

If anyone has FB and feels strongly, as I do, perhaps you can share it on your FB page to help spread the word and counter attack the false information she put out there. It also has links to good scientific information about CPL.

I have made the post on my own FB page visible for those who would like to share, as I am not sure of the etiquette on sharing directly from the other ladies page, although she also has it on public view. I am also interested to see who it stirs up off my FB friends list too, as a few on there unfortunately follow and seem to like SV! That will be great as I can throw them out with the rubbish if they show their true colours! 😅

I follow SV but never like or comment. I don't like their posts and I don't comment because I'd be banned for what I'd like to comment.

That page is one of many I follow to achieve my quota of 'people and pages to follow, for sh**s and giggles. 🫣🤣

I do have an alarming number of real life friends who adore SV! I just smile and say nothing.

Well I generally do ignore my FB friends who seem to like the mad woman, but I know for certain a good many of them are cob owners and have many friends who are also cob lovers, so in this instance I will be choosing this hill to die on if they don't get the message.;)

The more I see of SV posts, I do wonder about her state of mind.

A post I saw recently showed a video of her horse bucking in the ring which she attributed to being 'aimed at riding school ponies, who were coming out of the indoor school behind the camera! He’s only brave enough to pretend to kick other horses when they are a good ten metres away or more!'

I find the constant story telling quite odd. The horse bucked. It's not a big deal. Or is there a bigger issue at play, hence the need for storytime?

I just can't wrap my head around what goes through SVs mind when posting.

I'm struggling to narrow down what she / they have alluded to to any actual posts on here, who's the "self appointed expert" who started this? Or the vulgar mouthed person? I can understand her very delicate psyche taking it as a Witch hunt though.

Sorry if I am being a bit dim here, (probably:rolleyes:), but not sure what you mean here slimjim86? I don't want to just ignore your post because I'm too dense to see what you are getting at? :)

It's nothing to do with this thread, she's referring to the vet who called her out on her own post as the "self appointed expert" (cob legs) which she then deleted, and the "vulgar mouthed person" is the Clipper Queen who has posted a lot about CPL on her own Facebook page.

There's no witch hunt. She's annoyed a lot of professional people this time, not just random happy hackers who know nothing.

Ah OK I thought I was missing something as someone on her post had said either horse and hound or "that forum" so I obviously lumped it altogether along with her paranoia and dillusions

Exactly. Its scary how easily you can see DARVO in action.

Deny: I never said they were normal, it's the tendon sheath, it's thickened skin from severe mites, it's the clip.

Attack: Delete and block plus: I've had to remove the post because of so many nasty comments. And naming individuals presumably in the hope of encouarging her flying monkeys to pile-on. Seemingly they don;t quite dare when the people calling her out are credible professionals.

Reverse Victim and Offender: It's a witch hunt.

Corrected for you ;)

There's a woman that runs the CPL group on facebook, she takes it very seriously and has done wonders for helping people understand and manage CPL. 100% chance she's referring to her (as well as Gillian Scott).
I've been heartened to see a good handful of vets decrying SV's recent CPL misinformation.

A pointless post this morning (as is usually the case after she's posted something controversial and wants to move things on) about how her horse knew that yesterdays droppings left in the car park belonged to her other horse. I'd be too ashamed to own up to not picking up my horses dung in a lorry park!

That's what I thought too!

The mares soundness not being down to having her shoes removed even though she's sound a few days after having shoes removed is also quite entertaining IMHO. The post contradicts it's self so many times.

This image has been posted more than once by her groupies.

IMG_1989.jpeg

The groupies are so indoctrinated that they are unaware that she is now being called out by other vets. SV is so quick to delete any dissent that only the non questioning fawners stay on to massage her ego.

Wry smile that since her CPL humiliation she has posted lots of other stuff to try to bump the CPL post well down the page to be forgotten. So she thinks.
