    It also provides bulk. Cats do the same thing.

    Don we got Leo and Foxy both from our vet's bulletin board, the one that fixed Leo is the shelter vet so we could bring Maisie home Wednesday.

    Yvonne, their instructions they gave us said, only to leash walk him for two weeks, and to keep him high and dry, inside. He's only been loose a couple times and wants to run; but not suppose too, because of staples in him, they told me, at the pound office where he was fixed. I got him back after he ran up barking at Maisie at his old pen. Foxy is the instigator, fires everybody up, then runs away; when a "fights", begins. :rolleyes:

    Leo is laying here with his rubber necklace on to stop him from chewing out staples snoring and seems happy.
    Meantime, Getty is outside on porch scratching front door.

    I haven't given him any of the pain meds, as of yet. Just the antibiotics so far. Been waiting until he showed signs of needing them,not wanting him to suffer at all, but he didn't seem to like the anesthesia, and pain medicine they gave him. Wasn't acting like himself at all. I've been walking him a lot and he gets around and doesn't seem to be hurting too much.

    Leo, finally had a movement this morning, and no signs of blood or anything alarming, so one less problem to worry about, and thanks to all of you for the advice. :)

    Now we only have chickens, but we have extensive experience with animals. We had livestock of various kinds; we have had house dogs and house cats (ugh!); we have had barn cats and sled dogs. My wife also ran a small vet clinic (as an administrator) but the vet was only out to the bush about every month, so we treated the critters--mostly dogs--on our own. If there was a problem, the vet was a phone call away and we had the equipment and the meds available. Our daughters were also vet techs.

    I figured you had your share of animals. Thats a good career being a vet but like others I'm sure it has its trying times.

    We were never vets ourselves, but we worked for several. Working with livestock though is almost like being a large animal vet. We ran IVs, did minor surgery, and of course birthed many animals.

    Thats neat, and I kind of did the same with some of our animals when we were younger. Except no cattle or equine delivery's, just cats, dogs.

    We didn't have cattle or horses either, but we did have many goats and sheep.
