Vet praises owner for using ChatGPT to spot dog emergency, but warns him to hide it from colleagues
Sage_Savant · reddit · 2026-10-18
A veterinary professional on Reddit describes growing stigma around AI use: an owner whose dog seemed off sent photos and a description to ChatGPT, which flagged possible GDV or foreign-body obstruction and urged an immediate vet visit — likely saving the dog.
Yet when the owner shared this, clinic staff mocked him for "asking his chatgpt." The poster, who secretly uses ChatGPT extensively for case studies and practice improvements, argues the outcome was a win and laments that openly using AI now risks having your insights discounted by coworkers.
