@Emily I also would do the same, best have it removed, though sorry Ella has the lump.

Intriguing but frustrating you never found out!

Pleased he is better but sad he is missing Steve and looking for him.

That looks quite a large wound, I wonder if she has had puppies it has made a difference to her uterus?

Yes, my ex boss (veterinary surgeon) voluntary retired to save the salaries of the other vets. Some time back I was at corporate vet and there was a girl there doing 'time and motion' from the company! I have now moved to an independent vet but felt sad leaving the practice as vets and staff...

Aww, poor little mite, I wonder if she is older, that has taken the stuff out of her somewhat. Each day she will get better and better :sun:

@M.F. I was with a corporate veterinary practice and one vet did press for unnecessary tests etc as she had to hit targets. So sad, the vets, nurses and reception staff did not gain any benefit in salary.

Thanks @Lab_adore, that was what I was afraid of, cost of veterinary being astronomical. I suppose it all depends on how much the premiums are, at the moment Flicka's are not too bad, but what does the future hold!

@Joy, Rourke couldn't tolerate Metacam either, I found Paracetamol very helpful, prescribed by vet, bought in Waitrose 😃

Poor Kipper, Flicka had the same a few days ago, her nose swelled up, she had been stung by a wasp.

So very sad that Frank had to go, your stepson and wife will be bereft. :hug:

It didn't rain!!!

We only had 2 minutes of heavy rain :sad:
