That’s true!! But I haven’t even checked it or added more ice since I did it so I’m sure it’s bad but then again maybe not considering it’s been below freezing the past two nights. The lady actually just called me back finally, apparently the message didn’t go through till now, but not sure if I’ll call her back or not considering the body’s somewhat old now and I think they usually need fresh samples but idk. I was thinking I might try doing it myself. But maybe I should just start by going and checking on the body hah

I don't think you can do the blood work and labs, the microbiology and stuff. Send it in. Quick, hurry!

Geezzz, what now!

Lol, you'll see when you watch the movie.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Oh, this is so fun! @featherhead007 I wish I could watch it with you.

OK OK. I will put on my mask and gloves and drive 30 miles to get that stupid "Princess Bride" movie, if it will make you all happy, and hopefully induce you all to shut up about it!
I will check with Sue my neighbor first. She probably has a DVD.

Okay, I’m gonna go check on the body since I can’t go back to sleep but I just wanted to say that I finally listened to the voicemail (yes I hadn’t listened to it yet ) and she said that they don’t do necropsies for what they suspect might be Mareks disease but she said I could contact either the University of New Hampshire or the University of Connecticut, she said they both have diagnostic labs, and that I could also still call her back. She also said it’d be about $100 oh and apparently the message didn’t come through and she did try to call yesterday but the office gave her the wrong number so she left a message on the wrong number I guess. Anyway, I hope to God the body is still okay because if it’s not, I’ll be throwing $100 away.

Good point!! Hadn’t thought of that. I really hope the body isn’t totally ruined now.

I did listen to the voicemail and she said they don’t do the testing but gave me the names of two other labs. I think I still have to call her back though because I think it says you have to be referred by a vet or state official to submit it but idk. Maybe not true for mail in. But she said it’d be like $100

I think they are. I think they close at 4:30 but idk.

The NH website has a ton of info so I might not even need to call back.

But this won’t even matter if the body isn’t still good so I need to go check.

So you do understand! I watch my hens thru the window destroying my newly planted garden
But, I don't care either!

Haha. Exactly. I mean, having a few thing for the family to eat is nice but those little fatties who sneak into my yard are sooo cute! Then when they see us they stand up and try to look tough- I love it.
I’m happy that I chimmed in. The post I originally saw and was desperately thrilled to find was about being depressed after my daughter and her bf broke up. That’s what’s going on for me that is a hot mess. So I’m happy for a distraction with nice people. So thanks.
