[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 873416, member: 16769"] I actually sent the following to djinwa as a personal message, but I don't think it'll hurt anyone, past or present, to share it. It's one of my favorite vet stories: *** ". . . You might appreciate this story! This happened 15 yrs. or so ago, with the vet (Dennis) we loved that was killed in the car accident. My sis and her husband were just starting to get rolling with their cattle operation. A steer they bought at auction had pink-eye, so they called Dennis to come out and treat him. They had some very simple sort of chute set up, with a short alley. Well, the steer came down the alley, balked, fought, and got his head stuck in one of the U-shaped bottom legs on a panel, and that's the position he was in when Dennis got there. They couldn't get force him out of it. Dennis said, "Get your pickup, and we'll pull the panel off him." Bro-in-law Mark said, "My truck's in the shop!" So, Dennis brought his rig in, and they got the steer roped somehow and disentangled from the panel. And then Dennis noticed that the steer still had a down testicle! So he had to treat the beef for pink-eye and re-castrate him. That story was told at his funeral. So, I know what you're saying!" Rest in peace, Dennis Dixon, DVM, Meridian, Idaho -- Who could always maintain his sense of humor! [/QUOTE]
