[QUOTE="Carrie, post: 462820, member: 361"] Jeanne, I honestly didn't realize that was even an option the other night. We usually are willing to go to great lengths to care for a sick animal. I think though, that I would have still made the same decision given the fact that we had a loose scalpel blade some where in the calf or possibly the cow. I would be concerned that someone could get hurt with any further exploration attempts. Things were bad enough already - an ER bill really would have been the proverbial [i]straw[/i]....! Keren, The blade actually came off of the handle, so a string wouldn't have helped (though she didn't have it tied either). I would have felt more comfortable "fishing" for an intact scalpel, but not the blade alone. Those critters are sharp and can cut down to bone pretty quick! [/QUOTE]
