    Joke of the day :Getting Old Is Not For Sissies!

    I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising... I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on...

    Dr Carson was very nice. He didn't want to inflict any more stress on her than was necessary and loading her to take her over there would have been stressful on her. Well, got good news and bad news. Good news, she finally went into labor about 9:30 this morning and had a bull calf. They had to...

I was told that the dexamethazone(spelling????) should start her to dialating if she was close, but doesn't seem to be doing much, although they did say it could take a couple...

    Well, I am still waiting on Dr Carson to call back. I hope that he does. Have never been there, but sounds like a pretty good deal. Have any idea what they would charge to help with this situation????? It would probably be worth the mileage charge to have them come over and work our...

    I called and he was at lunch so she is going to have him call back. Will see what happens. It's hard to believe that in all the advances that medicine can make someone has not been able to come up with a brace or cast or something that you can use on a cow. Seems such a same that you would first...

    Help for foot rot?

    The best thing that we have found to treat footrot with is Nuflor. Usually we see results by the next day.
