My dog knows when I mean business. If I have to give him a pill or do something to him I have to do, he will come and endure it because he knows he will be rewarded afterwards. My pit had constant ear infections and he hated when I had to clean them, but he knew through my conditioning that it was gonna happen regardless of his actions.
LOL. Yes, I remember when you first made this reply in the fart thread. And I find it funnier each time you use it. I applaud you, sir. Far better than 'that's no moon' (sorry MM) or 'that's what she said' which doesn't only remotely makes sense half the time swoly uses it now. (That's what she said.)
Lance it and let us know what happened! Muzzle that dog first. Everyone says "my dog will never bite" right before it bites them. The problem with veterinarians is that most of them are in it purely for the $$ and not for helping your pets. Lancing an abscess is certainly something you can do on your own. Hell, go to a feed store and ask the people that work there if you have some questions. They might even do it for you.
I actually almost find this always universally untrue. As with most professions, you get your range of characters, and all range of clinics (from uber nice and plush, though with unnecessary costs, to low cost and simple). But at the end of the day, for the most part, it remains one of those professions that requires a lot of schooling, a lot of work, can be fairly demanding, has a lot of liability associated with it, etc., etc., and that most people don't even think of going into except for their love of animals. I don't think you'll find a large % of vets became vets because it paid well, for instance.
WebMD much? People dislocate finger and pull them back in place. Doctors fix dislocated proximal interphalangeal joints.
Is anyone else enjoying that a poster named "juicystream" is actively posting in this lancing thread?
Then why don't you just... just... SHUT UP!?!?!? HUH? How you like that?!?!?!? Did THAT make sense? Yeah, I'm losing it.
