Since when did I become a vet?

I guess I'm now the family vet. :-? My mom came home yesturday from my Uncles and told me that his dog Eddie, was hurt. I can only assume that he was stung by something in the neck and it got infected. There is a wound about the size of my thumb. My uncle refuses to take him to the vet so I had to do the best I could to fix him up. I trimmed the hair where the wound is, cleaned it out with peroxide and put neosprorin on it. Thankfully I had some left over antibiotics (amoxiscilin (SP?) from when Zebra had an infection. So I gave Eddie one tonight and told my uncle to give him the pills twice a day. Uhh I HATE how my uncle treats his dog, the poor thing is out on a chain 24/7 and obviously he dosn't care about him enough to take him to a vet. I was so pissed that I told him that if it wasn't better by the weekend that I would pay for the damn vet trip myself. :x I hate family.

Thankfully you were able to fix the dog up :wink: I know what you mean. I worked at a veterinary practice for 11 and a half years as a veterinary assistant and people used to call me and ask me to get medications for their animals because they didnt want to spend money at the vets..yeah right like i of course have a big stock supply of vet drugs in my house :roll:

You did good! I do know how you feel about being the local vet for people who don't want to spend money.

I cured that when my mom's neighbor used to get me over there to look at her multitude of cats. I started charging her, $5 to administer medication and it went up from there.
