I'm dead

What about a rebirth? With another (cute) name. Like Troostchick.

Yeah it’s insane!! I think the clinics at Petco and TSC and stuff are cheaper but idk.

People do their own with their chickens, etc. Probably worth looking into. If they're getting heartworm meds though, our vet said that also gets rid of the other worms.

I’m too chicken to try it by myself plus I think rabies has to be administered by a licensed vet here.

I believe medicines for chicks are no good. You can create trouble in the future. Giving good and fresh food and the right circumstances (space, sunlight) to grow up is important. Other wise IMO: ‘survival of the fittest’ is the best way to deal with unhealthy chicks,

I think the rabies is supposed to be administered by the vet, but the fecal float (is that the right term?) and the worming can be done by the dog owner. Since the charge for the heartworm chewables is outrageous, I see no reason to buy the name (or generic) meds. I don't worry about the poop test. I'm gonna give them the meds anyway.

Yeah that’s true!! I usually don’t do the fecal test anyway but do this time. I don’t get the meds there haha Gator we always used to get everything and it was crazy

mine for all 3 just basics runs about 500.....it just gets crazy when I add meds......I need to look into ordering them I guess!?!?

I have come to truly appreciate & admire our Vet. She is very logical while also being very compassionate. She is all around awesome. With regard to flea & work stuff it's always been great and smooth. We had a long talk several years back on the logic of rabies shots when the dogs are not roaming around and have a solid stable multi acre yard and care that the shots really aren't something to worry over. Some are actually 3+ year cycles too. Butidigress....

The law for rabies vaccination requirements here went to every three years a while back. Way behind the times imo, as it's been known for quite some time that the resistance lasts much longer than a year, but things like that tend to move slowly or not at all, so it's pretty surprising it ever did change.
