They said you can leave it off or put your own on – did you read the help file at all? I’m printing them blank because it goes so much faster that way.

Getting tangled in the hair and being harder to sterilize was some early feedback when the multi-hook designs started coming out and why I stuck with the S-hooks as well.
They’re open so pets don’t die when they are injured or ill. FWIW, all my vet friends don’t allow owners inside with their pets and they have curb-side pickup. They’ve canceled all elective surgeries to conserve their oxygen and other supplies as well. Certainly that’s as important as bakers being open. 
(And It’s one of things that you probably don’t think abut unless you see/deal with it, but the number of pregnant bitches needing a C-section or help to deliver is probably mind-boggling all on it’s own.)

They just can’t scroll on I guess. Lol
Be safe and keep up the good work.
My wife’s hospital is open for urgent care (the only routine thing they’re doing is rabies vaccine since that is a legal requirement). Only the animal comeS in to the hospital, and The carrier (if the animal is in one) gets wiped down with medical wipes.the staff is all in surgical masks to prevent spread in the staff. They’re’ actually slammed (probably because folks ar evoke with their animal all day and notice things that they wouldn’t while they’re at work…)

I meant that I don’t understand why they aren’t operating under the same process as the doctor’s offices. My kids’ pediatrician is also not open for routine visits and I’m far more concerned about them. There is a difference between emergency visits and check ups (which our vet is harassing us about).
i can’t speak for all vets, but mine isn’t doing a lot of generic routine stuff. we got some routine stuff done, but only as part of getting some annual things that you shouldn’t wait on (like rabies shots and picking up heartworm/flea&tick, which we also shouldn’t skip). she got a couple of other vaccines/tests while she was in there. the vet tech came out to the car.

This is good news. I need to call mine and tell them the appointments will have to wait. Our cats are indoor only, so it ‘s not a crisis if their treatments are a bit delayed. Hopefully we’ll be able to get though another month or two without the cats escaping or rabid animals breaking in!

I have a new dilemma; Gkid lost a baby tooth Friday evening that’s connected to her braces, so now it’s just dangling there. Her orthodontist is 4 hours away from us, so I can’t take her in even if it’s considered an emergency, and I’m not sure what to do about it!
Waiting for a call back today, now that they’re finally in the office again.
Can you just pop it off? Pretty sure that’s what I’d o at this point. 
Apparently my daughter has tried that in the past and says it’s super hard. 
I’m going to leave it alone unless it starts bothering her (which was the orthodontist’s advice this morning), but if it does become a problem I will definitely try to pop it off myself rather than having to drive to Ft Worth for him to do it!

Aww, that makes sense. Yeah, I wouldn’t be taking an adult animal into a clinic for just a routine checkup and vaccine boosters. Generally speaking, as long as the animal was fully vaccinated as a youngster there’s no need keep doing it every single year. Since rabies is required by law there’s some liability if that lapses and they bite someone, but even that vaccine is good for a whole lot longer than what the law allows for. I think you’re doing the right thing not going for a checkup.

At THE worst time, my daughter’s cat swallowed a sewing needle… I appreciate the fact the Vet was available…
I’m now managing a headache from the bill the I’m sure will be ‘sizeable’.

My wife can tell you the cost to have pretty much anything in your house removed from the digestive tract of your pet… hair bands and bags of pot are local favorites (One of the largest dispensaries in MA is a block from her hospital). Her record is 21 hair bands. The craziest one I helped her with was a dog who ate a pu-pu platter and came in with the skewers sticking out of the abdomen… dog did fine, owner’s Visa card did not…

A friend just sent me the x-ray she took of her boxer showing a fascinating mosaic pattern of very dense objects right below the rib cage. Apparently, decorative pebbles are tasty.
