    /QUOTE]i suppose it could be classed as a choking hazard[/QUOTE]

    Ask the towelhead that came knocking on the door one evening trying to sell something. Home buy, I think.

    Without any egging on or training, ( honest), Sam went for him. Even I was stunned.

    I was quite chuffed.

    de-hydrated

    Got my best bud back from the farm where he stayed with my mum for 5 days whilst we were on holiday, he got home and stopped eating, drinking, i assesed the situation and eventually took him to the vet.
    Fricken approved expert took a short look at my best bud for 8 years and said " he looks de-hydrated, I'd like to do bloods, ultra sound, and X-rays, we'll put him on a drip to re-hydrate and keep him for the day ok?

    Well I know my 'kid', he hates vet stays.
    "no' I say, you can do the bloods, but I'm not leaving him here.
    'Fine" she said

    1/2 hour later I get a ph call, wow he's fine. come in, pay the bill and pick up some antibiotics.

    $285 frickin dollars

    I can't imagine what the bill might've been if i left him there.

    money makers.

    I'm hungry like the wolf, but I'll end up tending cattle!

    Akzel has more brains than the lot of those that have posted on this subject.

    Vets are con artists and good at it, that passed the prescibed courses to be able to administer and sell drugs. Most worked as slave labour (fetch this and that slaves) for five years before doing a reasonably easy exam
    Having worked with the best of them for over 40years. Goes like this. If it is visable, it is any easy fix. If not visable then the mouth has to work overtime. If op is needed they come up with "it may not fix the problem but it should make it better" Cat comes in off colour stick it in a cage back of vet club for 24 hours nothing done to it ,you pick up your cat get given some pills and a bill for a hundy of better, you feel good moggy was looked after ,vet feels good as you just contributed to his consolodated fund . If dog has problem depends on what town, so today we shall pick on Taihape. Vet can find nothing wrong but does not tell you, he gives you a heap of pills and a sort of explanation as to what he/she thinks the problem could be, calls it the taihape x disease and sends you on your way. After a vet tried to fix a good dog of mine after he broke his leg I paid the cunt $800 plus three days later my dogs leg had rotted gangrene had set in, vet was not concerned, I cut the plaster off cleaned the shit from my dogs leg and made a three sided box straightened my dogs leg and laying it in box then strapped it up cleaned the leg every couple of days untill hair started to grow them shut leg in box with tape for six weeks . Yep he did come good.
    I could start on horses but why !!! For you lot not fucken likely.

    Oh before you shitbags tell me I am a cunt for what I say, I shall say again 40 years I have worked with the best seen money taken off you gullable fucken townies big time and not one of you dicks complain ha ha ..

    There are some goodin's out there, but even those cannot get it right all of the time. I take my hat off to some of those I have worked with over the years.

    Common now, start picking on me.. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing indeed. Most of you have just that a little bit of Knowledge. My cat. My dog.

    Well Doctors can't do it legally of course but I have heard of that "extra dose" of morphine being administered at the palliative care stage.

    As far as vets go, I'm talking about situations where the owners can't justify the costs, are moving away and can't take the animal or the horse has a broken leg etc.

    I adopted a family of cats one Christmas, fostering with the intention of taking them back. Never happened.
    I received a voucher for desexing. For the cats that is
    Anyway, took the kitten to Thames and left HIM there.
    Picked HIM up a bit later and he had stitches in his side?
    WTF I said.......

    Yes, sorry, we thought he was she and we cut him open, then realised our error.
    IDIOTS!!!

    Never went back, never will and once more they wanted me to pay.....

    Knowing were you come from i can understand you being pissed.

    I have heard of others having problems in your area.
    My wife got a vet out to check a mare was in foal and was told NO but 1 month later walla what do we have here.

    I have worked in a clinicin prebleton years ago and.
    I was actually employed to run the horse stud out the back that one of the vets had but also kept the clinic stalls clean and feed the horses (large animal clinic) in for ops.

    Had some very moving moments with some when your looking after them for a while in recovery and its like they know your trying to help them.

    Also know the gut wrenching when you have to stand there and hold an animal while its put down ( there and with my own animals since then).
    winding up stucky since ages ago
