Take Control of Your Web Site
For years VINners have asked if VIN can help them develop their web site. We finally have the answer. eVetSite, a new VIN service/company, makes web site design easy! Very quickly and easily, you can design and launch your new site (or we can help you convert your old one -- if you are finding it difficult to keep fresh). VINners get very deep discounts as a member benefit. We built it for you. Take a free trial at http://www.evetsite.com. Where will VIN's Cyber-Cafe/Booth be in the next few months?
Take a look! Newly-Added To VIN:

Two hundred and thirteen cases of marijuana toxicoses in dogs
The lowest dose at which signs occurred was 84.7 mg/kg and the highest reported dose was 26.8 g/kg. Onset of signs ranged from 5 min to 96 h, with most signs occurring within 1 to 3 h after ingestion. The signs lasted from 30 min to 96 h.
Olivopontocerebellar atrophy in two adult cats, sporadic cases or new genetic entity

This study demonstrated that single-session bilateral TPLOs are an effective treatment for bilaterally ruptured CrCLs with minimal morbidity and complications.

Internal Marketing: Wellness/Geriatric Screenings; ERD/Tonopen

Goat Hoof Management
Last week had to trim 100 sheep feet. The problem was that they were loose in a 1/2 acre pasture with no way to catch them except to leap on them as they ran past. Should have said no to the job, but testosterone was running high at the beginning of the day (pretty low at the end of the day though). First sheep of the day pulled me into the water tank. I found that it's hard to trim sheep feet while experiencing a wet wedgie.
