Subreddit Rules
- No specific treatment instructions: Giving OP specific treatment instructions including instructions on medications and dosages is both unethical and illegal without an existing doctor-patient-client relationship. Such posts will be deleted, and **repeat violators will be banned.**
- No commentary on veterinary treatments and prices: We will not give opinions on whether another veterinarian is treating your animal correctly or incorrectly.
- We will not give opinions regarding the pricing of medical services, as this can be extremely variable based on geographic location and hospital capabilities.
- No anecdotes ("personal experiences"): [Answers involving anecdotes](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/comments/36iy7o/meta_a_reminder_anecdotes_are_not_acceptable/) about your own or others' pets are not usually appropriate in this sub and will be removed. Anecdotes from veterinary professionals may be allowed at the mods' discretion. Anecdotes must not be provided to OP.
- 10, "no piggybacking")
- No misinformation on pet food: There are several [common misconceptions about pet food](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/comments/3l4ax5/meta_giving_advice_on_food/) that should not be posted to this sub and may be removed at the mods' discretion.
- Check the FAQ before you post: Your question may already be addressed there: [Link to our FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/wiki/index).
- Include the required information when posting: If you have a question about your animal, please include the following information:
- Signalment (species, age, sex/neuter status, breed, body weight)
- Short history
- Clinical signs (vomiting, coughing, fever etc)
- Length of time you have seen these changes
- Links to any vet reports, test results, X-rays etc. that you already have
- Your general location
- The above is very important in how we deal with different situations, so please ensure that you include this in your post.
- No random differentials (no diagnosis guessing): Do not just give OP a random differential (a possible diagnosis) that fits their pet's symptoms. This will just send them to Dr. Google to freak themselves out, then waste their vet's time (and thus their money) when the vet has to explain to them why Dr. Google was wrong -- all of this at absolutely no benefit to the animal.
- Differentials based on test results and vet reports may be appropriate, but just giving one based on symptoms is not. Such posts may be removed at the mods' discretion.
- No (self) promotion or asking for money: Do not promote your or others commercial or other services, and do not ask for money to pay for veterinary expenses on this sub. [Posts and comments asking for money will be removed](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/comments/6adr77/meta_dont_ask_for_money_on_this_sub/), and repeatedly violating this rule may result in a ban.
- [Further Reading](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskVet/comments/6vvlbe/meta_financing_veterinary_care/) on financing veterinary care.
- No arguing moderator decisions in comments: Do not argue with moderators about their decisions in the comments. If you need clarification of a rule or decision, think your comment was removed in error, or want to discuss the situation further, you can [message the mods](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FAskVet) - privately messaging mods about these issues is not permitted. This can be a ban-worthy offense.
- No piggybacking on OP's question: Do not ask questions about your own pet in someone else's thread. These questions don't usually include enough information to provide a meaningful answer, and they distract from OP's question and may derail the discussion. If you have a veterinary question about your own pet, please create your own thread and include the information specified in
- Comments piggybacking on other people's threads will be removed at the mods' discretion.
- Comments must provide veterinary advice: /r/askvet is a sub for veterinary advice. Comments that do not give veterinary advice are off-topic, tend to derail the discussion, and take away from actual advice. If your comment does not provide veterinary advice, it should not be posted to this sub and will be removed at the mods' discretion.
- Expressions of sympathy and/or reassurance are fine if they are accompanied by veterinary advice, but will be removed if they are not.
- Do not private message users to get around sub rules: This is a professional sub with strict rules to protect against harmful information being presented to users. Do not private message users to get around sub rules. Do not private message users that have commented elsewhere to get advice on something you have not posted. If you think that the automoderator made a mistake in removing a comment, message the moderators to request a review.
- Be Kind: Derogatory and insulting comments will be removed. We can educate misguided and uninformed individuals without being rude or calling them names. People come to this sub with questions and concerns so meeting those needs with kindness is important as many people have distressing situations and financial hardships.
- No questions regarding human healthcare: Questions regarding human healthcare are not appropriate for this sub. You may find more appropriate advice in r/AskDocs, r/medical_advice, or r/medical. Please review the rules of those subs before posting
- Do not recommend AI for diagnosis/treatment: LLM's (Large Language Models) aka AI's are designed to provide an answer. When they do not have information, they hallucinate it (they make it up). It has been proven that they cannot be prevented from doing so. They can cause harm or death to your animal or OP's animal.
