vvv you want the list why don't you write it, i can recommend a number of books from professor tobin and others iif you like. How about managing your horse so that it doesn't become dehydrated in the first place vvv, you know proactive not reactive.
[vvv] dot, you've got a better duck and weave than the great jimmy caruthers.
your footwork is not of the same calibre however.
the fact that you can't even come up with a single nomination for such a list but are nonetheless eager to rail against same, for me speaks volumes.
it is pretty obvious which of the current therapeutic drugs would be the main contenders to make it & even if you don't want any such list to become a reality you could at the very least name a few of them and go on to make a case againt them...but no, not even that.
since when has calling a vet to a sick foal become an absurd arguement?
[vvv] a blantant & noted thoroughly scurrilous misrepresentation of what i have said. It is either that or you need to attend reading & comprehension 101.
i regularly travel from bankstown to the clinic at agnes banks in 55 minutes, i'm sure from both agnes banks and clarendon to where you keep your mares could be accomplished in significantly less. Calling a vet would give a sickly foal the best opportunity to live would it not vvv?
[vvv] see above.
i don't foal down any mares myself vvv at bankstown or elsewhere, mine are supervised by someone else.
[vvv] the old absentee routine eh? I think jack nicholson said it best in 'a few good men'. Either pick up a rifle and stand at post... Or just say thankyou and be on your way.
who i'm sure wouldn't hesitate to call a vet if the foal showed any signs of needing one.
[vvv] there go my plans to employ herbal teas, healing crystals and tibetan chanting during the coming season's foalings. Thanks for setting me straight on that score dot. Most appreciated.
