Am i the only one that has expeirienced the'Cold Shoulder' treatment at vets when you go in with a snake?. i had a Diamond that when it was taken to the vet,snake hadnt been shedding properly and needed to be antibiotics for a cut.
Not only did i end up going to another vet that also wouldnt see the snake.The vets just arent experienced, -nice enough people, but trained Human Surgeon ect, only have to learn one species(humans), Vet have to learn so many different, i really wouldnt have my snakes go to a Vet now that i have found a good one a osford.
Another thing was, in the Vet waiting room, a small fluffy dog, called Fifi, was getting treats of the staff, they call all the other 'patients' by thier first name,-said hi to Muffy the cat when a lady came in , and they were oh, so concerned about these warm blooded hairy things, and thats all good.I love all animals too.Its just that, they were oblivious, that the snake was my pet, they told me they hated snakes, and didnt ask me her name or show any concern for her what so ever. Actually had to convince them to let me speak to a Vet, in the hallway.
He was happy to give me(sell), me the antibiotics, made up in injectable syringe, and ask was it ok that i give her the needles over a 2 week period myself. He openly admitted that he didnt study Reptiles as an extra, and had a slight fear of handling them.I was glad to treat her at home myself, I can rely on this vet if i know what i need, otherwise he phones another vet at SugarLoaf, for advice and medications referal ect.
Now getting back to the real topic.How could you not like this nice Vet- have you not noticed his big shiny smile, and the way he talks to old ladies is soooo adorable, let aone when he kissed the lamb!!
You can always turn the TV off, if you dont like what your watching.exposing yourself to it, then bagging out on forum,is exactly what a good TV character will have you doing.Talking about him, and by the way, I would love to have a chat with the guy, to see if he's as stimulating in th flesh as he appears to be on the tele.I dont really care how good he is at telling snakes apart, i dont even care if he's a good Vet. I'll never be needing him i doubt,- but i -Love him anyway..More.More.
