[QUOTE="mdmdogs3, post: 202790, member: 2745"] remember the cowmen are looking at their bottom dollar calling the vet is different for them than it is for you - you said these are your kids' cattle - i.e. big dogs :) you may have to ask yourself how much are you willing to spend - I have friends that there is no amount of money that is too much for them to spend on their dog - I have a Dad that the dog has to be one step out of the grave before it goes to the vet - I'm in the middle - I've only been working full time on the farm for a year and Dad and I have already figured out that I intervene long before he does - so far he has been right but so have I - so there is no one answer - just a comfort level. so - since these are your kids' cows with names - I wouldn't necessarily treat them the same as the cowman's cow that is 1 in a 1000 - I'd just take their opinion as an option but I'd go back to my comfort level. (this will probably start another battle ;-) but what the heck more interesting posts to read :D ) [/QUOTE]
