The spray? Jaysus I dunno moy, the last can we had to get was given to us free by the vet after the section, I suppose I could go rummage in the shed to see if it's on the lid but the effort

Can ask tomorrow, was actually waiting for vet to call me back for something else today but have to pick up shots for kovu tomorrow.

How much are ye paying for Alamycin LA actually ? I paid €33 today but for some reason thought it was only around €15 the last time

I can imagine the pain of the pup here having to be put down

No the 100ml bottle that you inject , not the spray .

I would think €15 would be about the mark or even a shake less

€66.50 for a bottle of Alamycin , 2 shots of Estrumit and a shot of paikiller , I felt was a bit steep . I doubt he would have charged that if he call out and done them for me

I'll ask! But I don't remember it being €33 last time it was used here.

Doubt many will! Not much to do here to be honest. Great little country but you'd want to have an affiliation for peace and quiet or be near carrick. Most of the small towns are fairly depressing these days after all the boom time shops/pubs closed.

Yup same cat, white long haired puss. He got skin cancer on his ears so they were removed but it had spread before it was noticed.

Ah that is a pity. Only for the fact that Daisy mentioned the amputation I had forgotten.
Hope your Aunt is ok.

Yes, she'll be ok, she has two others. Just not one for putting things down

Think I'll have to bring mine in tomorrow as well, but only to get a double check from the vet on what shots he needs for a tear across his tum. He drives the place crackers though as he walks in on his leash like he owns the place. Nutty thing.

(I think darragh was correct when he said I was 10% cat:o)

Was it due to the fact that the cat was pure white have anything to do with its condition. Maybe Greysides could speculate.
Personally I detest white cats - something to do with an aversion that my Granny had of them and I picked up the same from her :eek:
OH's cat sounds a lot like your lad, in fact in his case he does own the place. Struts around with his tail held high

greysides

At a guess, white eared cats are prone to a Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the pinna. Sunlight/non-protective white hair/thin hair density all conspire together.

A bit similar to 'Cancer Eye' of white faced cattle.


In animals a SC Carcinoma is a very bad tumour.

Kovu

Afaik, they lack a pigment in their skin that other cats have, so they are susceptible to sunburn. Definitely doesn't help that they lie out in the sun so much! Supposed to put suncream on their ears! Don't think many people would do that here though.

The same as Carcinoma is more common in grey horses/ponies?

Those are normally melanomas and don't usually cause a problem.

yes i think most vets have some people like that on their books. Total pain that even though they are owed alot of money by these people they still have to treat their animals......

Going at the turf sat just a small matter of getting cattle out of a field that we have rented that has no pen and have to go in to a trailer.
Its a big bitch of field so I expect a lot of running

Or even the wire on its own might convince/corral them towards the trailer

Trough , nuts a few gates and a couple of strands of electric fence .
Start feeding them the nuts asap and they will be putty in your hands

Few weeks ago I passed a lad on the road with tractor and trailor backed into load a bunch of heifers - on his own with no crush- so I pulled into watch..
Not a bother, down with ramp, out with gates, put a light gate at either side as well and ran wire/tape out in a v shape.
Had the heifers in a paddock at the top of a hill, opened paddock and heifers just walked down the field and into the trailor!! Yer man walked down after them casually and closed the gates behind them.


And these weren't Fr or AA they were charolais and limos!! Not a stick, dog or shout in sight, just goes to prove an ould lad near me - 'mad man mad cattle'


Maybe it also goes to show tho that preparation is key to success - He had the heifers divided into 2 batches so the half would fit into the trailor no bother whereas if he was trying to load em all by the time the last were going in the ones in front would be coming back against them
Also he had backed in such a way that the ramp was nearly the same slope as the field so they were in the trailor before they knew it.

The 6 P's
Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Kovu

Rule around here is no talking, less shouting and we can't let ourselves get annoyed if things go wrong when loading as the more excited we get, the cattle will only get two times worse!

Helps that me & dad can almost read each others minds at this stage so we know what the other will do.
