    Ye one of the young lads is related to her next door neighbour.
    She answered the private number which was the problem.
    Only has work experience once a week in the school
    it might be different as she is working in the school but when we went to school last year about online bullying against eldest lad they said that they could only police what happens in the school not what happens after hours, we where advised if we felt strongly enough to involve the guards

    The young lad that rang her is only about 14-15 I think and said he wanted to know what work she gave them over midterm and then asked her was she going out.
    She never answers provide numbers but she said she would to see if it was someone looking for her.
    That's the worst thing about living so close to the school your doing your placement.
    Everyone knows you

    15cc of imizol under the skin and a half a bucket of nuts. Vet was telling me to mix treacle with stout and a few nuts if he wouldn't eat but he ate the nuts away grand so I didn't bother. Didn't think he'd be up grazing this morning to be honest, has to be a good sign.

    No dripping and he wasn't making any pee for me. He's beside the house though so I'll keep a close eye on him for the day and I'll catch him at it. Doesn't seem to be any sickness in him anyway which is the main thing.

    Reprocine for a cow to clean, is it under the skin or muscle? Just been left a note and the injection on the table.

    Can't find online which it is.

    Does it make much of a difference if you go into muscle instead of under the skin ? Does the muscle absorb it quicker ?

    My understanding of it is absorption rates and longevity of affect. But I'm not a Vet.

    Reilig, sorry to see you go, particularly in the circumstances. Your contribution is way to great to lose as a poster and as a Mod.

    Don't stay away too long;)

    Got a new portasol gas one last year for free.
    Traded in to mk2 ones that were broken.
    Lot better than the old ones.
    No crate which makes it worse.
    Used to be good practice when I played rugby

    Just done replacing slats in shed. All singles out one by one down shed and out the door and the end.
    Gangs in and laid.

    Old slats were in a bad state. Huge chunks missing from under and steel hanging out.

    As far as I know, under the skin is quicking acting. Deep into the muscle, would give a slower, but longer acting release of the drug.

    Says here it is into the muscle.

    Yea it took me a while to find it but I was able to double check online then after confirming with my dad.

    On another (slightly related) topic. Seen cows out that had been obviously Trodaxed recently. The stain at the back of the shoulder gave it away, but why does it seem to weep so much after injecting? Or it it just the trodax staining the hair.
    Incorrectly put under the skin?
