[QUOTE="Bez, post: 60626, member: 412"] Vicky I have looked for some time to find someone who I think is a real good veterinarian. Wife and I finally found him last year. He is more expensive than you - I think you are not charging enough for your travel - but that is another topic. Be that as it may, I would pay my guy more and think nothing of it - he comes when called, never grouses if it is a wierd hour, does excellent work - and to boot, he has the personality of a saint. He is a wonderful teacher and has taught me and wife a bunch of simple medicine and technical stuff to make life much, much easier here. As he put it to me - he is so busy he cannot accept any more clients, so anything we can do before he is called usually makes his life easier. A quick story - had a real run of bad luck with the heifers this last year and he and I lost lost two calves in a row. The third was the infamous breech. Found very late - way out in the bush country. He looked at me after an examination and said - "Calf is all twisted and I cannot get it straightened out. We are going to have to cut it out. Calf has been there a while and might not make it and you are still going to pay for it - wanna' continue, or down the cow?" Cow was a cheapy and the operation was more than she was worth. I said - "It's number two daughters cow - we gotta' go". So he operated and I was surgical assistant. He held everything out of the way and I pulled out a huge calf. I said - "Holy smoke Doc, it's still alive". The big grin on his face at that point said it all. Mother and daughter did well - cow is confirmed bred back. We'll see how it goes next year. He's a keeper - the Doc that is ... :D What more could we ask for? Stay well, Bez [/QUOTE]
