I would also second everything said about frontline, disappointing reliability and also serious environmental concerns. Along with Imidocloprid (Advantage and others). FrontPRO is an over the counter tablet which uses Afoxolaner which is in the same class as a lot of the prescription only...

Certain Collies (and some others) sometimes have a variation with a gene known as MDR-1 which leads to a defective mechanism by which drugs are moved out of organs including the brain. This defect leads to sustained high levels of drugs within brain tissues and consequent side effects. That's a...

Speaking to the representatives on the Nocpix stand at BSS apparently Q3 of this year a multispectral is planned for the market. Interesting as the image through the Nocpix thermal binos seemed the best of all the options with comparable sensors.

Now spoken for, thanks all.

I have here give or take 1/3 of a tub of 4350. I never settled on it as my powder and obviously unavailable now. Not enough for me to try again and no point starting on a new load. It will just sit around here so if someone has a pet load they know works you will get a few rounds out of this...

Good morning folks, I have a load of cases I need to rejuvenate as I am starting reloading again. Does anyone have any recommendations as to someone who offers a postal service for this? I have had some done by a gentlemen a few years ago and have completely forgotten who! Recommendations...

I also have this question! May I ask if you settled on anyone? Or if anyone else has any suggestions? Many thanks!

Yep, I have some which I have been playing with making subsonic .223 loads, seems to work really quite well so far. Horrifyingly expensive though!!!

Generally speaking if the slab has come away completely and there is no pulp exposure I leave them and just advise they are monitored regularly for further damage/ decay. Once the tooth has lost the enamel the exposed dentine is softer and more susceptible to decay. If the slab has fractured...

A fair point, and my apologies for any offence caused, it was not my intent.

Please do not misconstrue my comment, access to the NHS is and should be universal. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE who takes on an active role in society should have access the same level of attention and care. I have zero issue with paying more in than someone earning less than me, none of us could...

It is worth remembering that you get healthcare without the big bill at the point of care...but the vast majority of us pay rather a significant amount of money in income tax and national insurance which goes to fund the NHS amongst other public services. The concept that NHS treatment is free...

The profit for a lot of veterinary businesses (certainly independents) runs broadly between 7-12% apparently.

£50 holy hell! That is....shocking! i think its £20.50 (Inc. the VAT) where I am. Which considering it takes me about 10 minutes to review the history, draft the document, print it out, wet sign it and then sometimes scan it back in and email it to the client isn't that awful I don't think.

This is what I advise everyone tries to do whenever I do AHC paperwork. Try to get an EU Pet passport while out there. I have zero interest in paperwork exercises and even less ambition to charge for them. Sadly though as they are quite detailed and have to be 100% correct they come with a lot...
