It is unfortunately the world we live in. I will be making a post on my vet blog soon on drawing your own blood. Then you could just take it in to them :) http://vetwork.blogspot.com/JLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258610911896060722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-45492639740909786962008-03-19T11:02:00.000-05:002008-03-19T11:02:00.000-05:00Wow!!

I think I would have to give up if I couldn't get a vet to help out. I hope you find someone soon.Sharriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09631430089056544389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-71762159327215776242008-03-19T08:02:00.000-05:002008-03-19T08:02:00.000-05:00Garrett, our local vet office had a policy that th...Garrett, our local vet office had a policy that they would not do farm visits for sheep - period. I had to bring in emergencies to be checked in the parking lot or pay for an office call if they needed a full workup. It was actually much cheaper that way. They also gave plenty of advice over the phone and provided meds for pick up. Then about three years ago they quit doing large animals! I was lost until I finally found a young vet who will come out here. BUT I sure can't afford to pay his trip fees, so it has to be a true emergency for me to call him here. <BR/>Have you asked the vet offices if you could pack up the animals you want drawn and bring them to the office? Or even better, could you wait until Kelly comes out for your next visit and have her draw the blood?Becky Utechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664957352385337093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-52038740063588695752008-03-18T11:14:00.000-05:002008-03-18T11:14:00.000-05:00I guess the only GOOD vet in your area packed up a...I guess the only GOOD vet in your area packed up and moved to NW Oregon in 1989!
