Vet Stories

I settled down on the couch, chattering away with the old staffie\’s owner. I\’d been tending to her for a long time now, and had got to know her people pretty well. She came over, gave me a bit of a sniff, then flopped down on the floor with a dismissive grunt – as if […]

\”G\’day Dr Ed,\” came the familiar voice on the phone. \”I\’m a bit worried about my dog- you know you stitched her up the other day? The stitches have come apart a bit, and it seems a bit smelly… Should you come and see her?\” \”Sure I can… Let me see- how about tomorrow then?\”

What do vets say about vaccinations? And what\’s the truth of the matter? This article comes from 27 comments on a post where I asked people on my Facebook page what vets have been telling them about vaccination.
