MELS. NEW ADVENTURES

[B&B Happy goats]

Most vets do tattooing. They have a set similar to what you order online with the green ink.

Vet I worked for used to use a dental tool dipped in the ink to jab a hole in pup’s ears when it was an identical litter. He then used his finger dipped in some ink to smear over the site with some pressure to reinforce the tattoo. the Ex. Golden Retriever pups- no way for owner to distinguish (no comment)...4M/4F...Male 1- one dot right ear, Male 2- one dot left ear, Male 3- two dots right ear, Male 4- 2 dots left ear. I never saw him do more than three dots in one ear in a small triangle but obvious dots. If the litter number required creativity, he’d do a dot or two in both ears and create more options with those variations.

I will call them today and ask them if they can do that, but we are in hicksville USA...sure would be nice, thank you

I Called the vet and asked.....
Yupper freakin Hicksville USA...NO WE WOULD NEVER TATTOO A DOG...why would you want to she asked ?
Ummm, lets get into the real world, for permanent identity of owner that can not be removed !!!..... oh , that would be cruel, she said.....me...how is it cruel if the dog is sedated while you are nutering him......?
Her....well we just don't believe in it.......no but you will cut a dogs ears, dock a perfectly fine tail and remove a cats claws....

What a 'effing idiot. I would find another vet. I used to tattoo my rabbits, it was required to show, register and just about everything except slaughter. Find a livestock vet.

Oh, his neck size measured 25 inches, lol.

He is so big!

I think DD1's waist is 22", she's a little thing (and will be 26 on Saturday).

Happy Birthday to your DD1! My youngest sister's birthday as well on Saturday, she will be 37. DH turns 50 next Monday.

Don't say that! If I were a grampy I'd be OLD!

You don't have to be old to be a grampy. But you are old.

that would be cruel

Why would it be? They can stick a microchip in a dog and do what you said above but tattooing them is cruel? Makes no sense.

 

[B&B Happy goats]

Most likly real reason i can think of...no body around this area would spend money to get it done, so there is no $$$ in it for them....
I will be having a conversation with the vet herself...and explain my reasons why i am considering going else where.

 

[misfitmorgan]

I agree that is ridiculous. With all the "procedures" they do that are "optional" to livestock and pets and she is balking at a tattoo

Tail docking, ear cropping, declawing, removing genitalia(neuter/spay), microchip, muling, debeaking, pinioning, dubbing, etc, etc.... give me a D*** break!

Oh my gosh how Mel makes us laugh....i was out cleaning the chicken yard and the "funeral neighbor's wife" (the idiot that makes goat noises at me ) was in her pj's feeding the pigs., she and i noticed each other and waved hello then she saw Mel.....she came to the fence line just as Mel saw her Mel started barking at her. I told him it was ok, that is her property and he was a good boy....Mel was sitting....when she got within six feet Mel gave her a stern warning and then plopped his elbows on top of the fence to show his size....she almost had heart failure and i almost died laughing because it was soooo funny, she asked if he would bite and i said he sure would if anyone tresspassed or botherd me...you may want to warn you husband about making the goat sounds, sure would hate to see Mel go over the fence thinking he was trying to protect his herd from danger...she said she would pass the message on and as she walked away she said....that is one big arse dog.... DH and i have not be able to stop laughing all day.....
Gosh Mel....you really are perfect
