    Equine Dentist~ ever seen the inside of a horse's mouth?

    Quote: Agreed. The proper and safe use of a twitch can save both human and animal lives. There can be emergency's or what not that tranquilizing the horse before is not possible. My old horse has weird issues with meds, tranquilizer need to be used in dangerously high doses to actually make...

    How much does it really cost to own a horse?

    Right now the old horse is at home. On average we spend 100 a month on him. Hay, grain, farrier, vet. This is averaged. The only reason is because I can find good hay cheap and do preventative care on him. The emergency vet bills are the real killer, that can add up to thousands upon thousands...

    dog was hit rant

    In the state of pa at least you are liable for whatever trouble your pets or livestock cause. If in pa the driver could have in turn called the cops, had a report done and sued you for damages to their car because your animal was lose and not under your control or on your property. I am very...

    Donkeys & sweating

    The ears actually act like the fins of a radiator do, dissipate heat quickly. Same reason that if they get a cut on the ear they bleed a ton, all the blood vessels in the ears.

    Jack Russell that Bolts

    Honestly I would tie, leash walk and get a training shock color that you control. Id rather have my dog tethered and annoyed for outside time rather then squished flat like a pancake. Little dogs are just that...little. Something the size of a dane or even a lab people are more likely to see and...

    My horse got himself cast last night

    I don't take it lightly either. I was absolutely terrified of what I might have found running out to the barn. I use to be a groom and exercise rider. The tb's seemed to get themselves stuck all the time. Horrific career and sometimes life ending injury's were the norm rather then the exception...

    My horse got himself cast last night

    Dh brought the old horse in last night, was rainy so first thing old horse does is lie down and roll in the fresh shavings. Dh was still in the stall going to dump the water bucket so old horse lies down farther away from Dh instead of the middle as usual. Stall is 12x14 so not tiny. Lies down...

    Are you next?

    If the place actually was a mess and looked bad there would be tons of pictures. If there were actually dead animals laying every where (not specially prepared and in the freezer) there would be pictures every where. The anti animal people would be all over it taking pictures to shove in the...

    Toe Amputation on Dog, advise please

    I would usually never suggest this but in this case he might actually chew himself to death if allowed. Would it be terribly bad to give him something to sedate him a little and make him sleepy for a while? A day or two of drowsy and sleepy might be enough to get it healing before he really...

    Making your own dog food.

    Quote: Lol! Sorry, that comment struck me as funny hehe. How do you make your own dog food? Would you be willing to share your recipe? Absolutely! I use 50% meat (chicken, beef, venison, fish), 25% grain and 25% vegetable. I also add egg and some liver. It's easier to cook in a large...

    I also need help on the breed of this horse please

    I agree with the no Amish training, yes there are decent people among them, but for the most part animals are trained as quickly and with as little effort as possible. That can sometimes mean being extremely rough to get the job done asap. I live in pa and many years ago, the guy my mom...

    I also need help on the breed of this horse please

    I 100% agree with everything WC has to say with the addition, the silver dapple color, along with the elegant lines and nice body build. He could be part rocky mountain horse. Our pony growing up was a rocky mt that was just about 13 hands and was never registered, but color wise and body wise...

    can't stand irresponsible pet owners!!

    If you can not find a rescue or someone to take them the mercy full thing to do is shoot them and bury them. The poor dogs are starving, the will keep coming back again and again because they are starving to death.

    Just when I think I've heard it all about horses and ponies

    Don't leave, every person you named as attacking you has no intention of or intent of actually attacking you. Debate, disagreement and discussion yes. If we didn't want you around or didn't want to speak to you we wouldn't have answered the thread.

    What are YOUR experiences on how Dogs have changed??

    Things that I like that have changed, better and more progressive health care. Genetic testing and screening thoroughly before breeding. Extensive training and help available widespread to those who want it. Things that I dislike that have changed, the attitudes and practices of many...

    Just when I think I've heard it all about horses and ponies

    No one is being cruel or nasty to you. Pointing out fact and experiences is not outrage. Not everyone is going to agree with every word you say. I'm sorry you seem to have taken constructive critiques and opinions the wrong way. Our intention is not to run you off, nearly explain that the whole...

    Quote: Please note: 21 is not the 1960's that I grew up in. It is not even in the 26 years wellsummer pointed out. I am talking about horses in the 1960's and 1970's, in the area of **I** grew up. And I was talking about a relative to your 60's and 70's young horse, 7 is young in...
