Abstract
For years you have been diligently reading articles advising you to build the online profile of your practice. You now have a substantial Facebook following, largely comprised of people you don’t know, and have just received a message from Sasha in Oklahoma, whom you have never met. Her dog Forbes is a seven-year-old schnoodle who suffers from periodic diarrhoea and vomiting. It was hospitalised recently and diagnosed with pancreatitis. Last night it ate a small can of chicken food, which was followed an hour later by recurrent diarrhoea. Today it started vomiting yellow liquid. Its vet prescribed metronidazole, but the drugs won’t arrive until tomorrow, and Sasha has asked you for advice. What should you do?
