Humans may also have discovered the possibility for docking a
tail on to a dog, which is much more useful than docking a tail
off.

Chip
Scammers
With
the advent of microchip identification for pets vets may face
new quandaries to solve. What happens if the pet is rehomed?
What happens if the pet is rehomed as a stray and hadn't been
scanned? What happens if a breeder reclaims a pet and wants
an identification chip surgically removed? What happens if a
rogue seagull is loose in your practice? The answers are in
the newsletter.

24
Hour Care
If
I remember correctly, as a vet student, I didn't have the waking
capacity to stay up all night watching sleeping patients. I still
don't. That's why suburban vets have emergency centres to refer
to.

Trying to get Case + Record + Guidelines all in one cartoon.

The vet should indeed look concerned. He has an incomplete case
record when dealing with a complicated, poorly resolving case.

Competition
and Prescription Only Medications (POMS)
UK
Vets are being advised they have to inform their clients that
the vet practice is not the only place a client can pick up
a prescription.

"Crikey!
A talking chicken."
The
chicken little cartoon didn't make it into print. It
was so bad that the editor used 'clip art' instead. I felt like
the sky had fallen on my head.

This
is supposed to be an aggressive dog
With
20-20 hindsight, the dog looks more overtly insane than aggressive.
And we all know that boxers are happy dogs.

Vet
Surgeons' Boards' Council
I
would guess the excessive use of apostrophes led to the decision
not to publish the cartoon in the newsletter. But hey, guess what?
I can publish it here (insert manic laughter). $19.10 of a vet's
annual registration fee goes to funding the council of boards.
