Of dogs, Flan and other things

Nov 19, 2006 22:35

The dog has now eaten through his cast! *head desk* I came home from the beach this afternoon and there he was, a big hole right through the bandage, fibreglass cast and down to the bone. It does not look good. It's Sunday, my usual vet's away and the other guy only opens up for snake-bite or something equally horrific. Of course there's nothing ( Read more... )

dog, real life, flan

I think it's really cool you are into Naturopathic Medicine. I used to work a lab that did tests long those lines and we had 3-4 ND's on staff for test development and to answer questions. They were awesome people.

I'm excited about Flan as well. Finally. For the longest time I wasn't, but now I am. I just hope I get to go. My stepmother is really sick and there is a CHANCE I'll have to go home for a funeral instead of Flan. Won't know until we are right up on it, I fear. Keep a good thought.

Oh yes I really think Natural remedies have a big place in medicine, particularly for folks like me who are allergic to lots of chemical remedies.

I'm keeping good thoughts for you and your step-mum. *cuddles*

After one of my ferrets had surgery, which involved cutting open almost the entire length of him, he had to wear an E collar. He was such a feisty little guy that the vet actually had to stitch it onto him to keep it on so he'd stay away from the incision O_o

I'm getting excited again for Flan as it's getting closer XD

Yes - this time the vet gave my dog one of those collars. He's so funny trying to navigate in it!

Can't wait to see you at Flan!!

I'll see you there. :)

You'll know me - I'm the frazzled one! :)

That dog does not want you to go away and leave him with your mother! I wonder if you'll have to get a muzzle or somesuch for him. Poor puppy.

Huh, I would have thought Australia had socialized medicine.

I can hardly believe that you'll be flying out so soon! And then you'll be here! *frantically begins cleaning house* *gives up and decides to pay niece to help clean*

The vet gave him an Elizabethan collar http://dts.ystoretools.com/1298/images/250x1000/ecollar125cm.jpg and he's having big problems walking round in it!

We do have socialised medicine but the government encourages health fund membership to offset costs, even offering rebates. A couple of years back they made it sound like you had to join a private provider. http://www.health.gov.au/internet/wcms/publishing.nsf/Content/private-1

LOL - Don't clean! You should see my place? *giggles*

Love the puppy face icon!

LOL, if he has an Elizabethan collar, you simply MUST read Shakespeare to him!

Don't clean?! OMG, you won't be able to find me!

(The icon was made by the fabulous monkey).

Well The complete works of Shakespeare never leaves the coffee table - so I could, but he would look at me! LOL
I took a photo of the collar and when I get it developed will post it for you!

Oh come on, your place can't be that bad!!

Love the fantabulous icon - isn't she talented?

Sometimes I wonder why I'm a dog person! But I do love him...

I can't believe it about my trip either.
