I know, but being an East London boy...I might be forced to give Ronnie and Reggie a call

Seriously though, I would need anger management classes and would need to keep away from farmers...which is very difficult working in a rural school where I know quite a few. Our relationship would be severly strained.

I always keep them on lead if there is a chance of live stock being nearby, for the simple reason its not worth the risk, you will most likely get farmers who wont shoot first ask question later, but I would also wager there is some who are quite trigger happy.

As a qualified Veterinary Nurse I'm confused
If this had of been my puppy, I would of told my OH not to take out the girls and explained why!

Even if the nest test had of come back negative, I would still Iso the girls as you still do not know what she has, distemper, hardpad etc.,even gastric


Me too. Parvo is not that hard to detect
Your profile says you are a vet, so with your knowledge you would of shared this with your OH and keep Meg under ISO too...until you knew what Ana had
And from one of your earlier posts I understood that you were a Veterinary Nurse too, not a Vet. Sorry I'm very confused too. Other threads you have asked questions that I would of thought you would of known as a vet. As you stated that you have worked in this profession for 3 years. I have worked in this field for 21 years and vets I have worked with have been very knowledgeable, both with drugs etc., what they don't know they go to thier books and debate with partners. I'm sorry I thought you work at a vets, not was a vet

Oh I had no idea she was a vet! Please MM could you answer me a question, but stupid really but just one of those niggling things, why are cat's always spayed on the right flank and never the left? I asked my vet nurse but they didn't really know!

Sorry OT, hope you can help!

Because it could be very dangerous if she answers questions to members as a vet when she isn't qualified to give those answers...IMO

Fair point, but I dont see where she has?

Yes there is a lot of things that dont add up, one being how users seemed to have it in for her and another user from there first post onwards.

And I'm not one of them as I recall. Just asking a simple answer to a simple question but am not about to go any further on the public forum.

Stormey, I don't have it in for MM at all, I am just confused. Parvo has it's own smell, if you've had a dog with parvo or worked where a dog with parvo is, you would never forget the smell honest, it's revolting. It was more confusion for me nothing personal, just the difference in answers.

If you noticed I did change paragraph before saying what I did. So just to clarify, 1st bit for you, 2nd not

Is there two threads in one going on here

I haven't finished being angry at the farmer who might shoot my dog yet
