    Up in Dublin here today. Staying here for 2 nights. Running the marathon tomorrow. Just went for a small walk about. I hate the place. The amount of absolute wasters/druggies/knobheads is unbelievable

    Try working in the kip

    I do occasionally be unfortunate enough to be up here for work. Only for the day though. Drives me mad. The thing is, some of the city is lovely. I like the big modern office buildings, and how the trees grow along the roadsides in parts. It's the people that ruin it.

    I worked in Dublin for years. Didn't particulary like the place but I always found a decency in the Dubs that is sadly missing in other cities. I live near enough to Limerick and there is a nastiness there at times, that would sicken you. I never experienced that in Dublin.

    If you have a good vet then yes these things don’t happen, but if you have a lousy practice then no it’s not the exception

    I would make it the exception by changing vets

    It was a smasher of a day here. You would really like getting a bit of work done in it. If we could get a few weeks like this it would be mighty

    Have a weaning here with a snotty nose.

    I haven't had weanlings in years bought some 3 weeks ago. I have Alamycin LA 300 he is about 380kgs. I didn't do them for IBR yet. Question would the Alamycin be the job to give to him?

    Don't know anything about Alamycin, if he was mine i'd be giving him Hexasol provided he's eating and in good enough form.

    I hear London is now nearly as expensive as Dublin.

    Lucky that we can fly over in the morning in time for the funeral and burial and have a bit of time afterwards to grab a bite to eat and catch up with the rest of the family. Some of the hotel prices were fairly steep alright.

    It will do. A snotty nose isn't too serious unless it moves deeper. I'd inject him for a few days myself but be keeping a close eye on him.

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.

    Alamycin and Hexasol both contain the same amount of Oxytetracycline antibiotic.

    but Hexasol has an anti-inflamatory Flunixin in it.

    Has he got a temperature.

    More so for the ladies unless get a full multi person room in one booking, but good for price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,902 ✭✭✭farawaygrass


    What’s the story with brexit now? Is there an extension granted until January? Was in the mart yesterday with a few bull weanlings. The good ones are still commanding a good price. An awful lot of weanlings, especially heifers sold for sub 500 euros. They were young and light but not bad quality.
