    Ireland has a big enough population now to cater for specalists in either small animal veterinary or general veterinary.. I don't want someone coming out here that really only wants to treat cats and hamsters rather than 500kg cattle. People are always better doing something they have a passion for, that could easily be accommodated.

    you can call it whatever way you like, it won't change any facts.

    A properly trained and qualified professional Vet has a professional responsibility to be knowable and have the ability and experience to treat all animals, not just the ones they "like" . . . after that they can work in and specialise in whatever area they like.

    You might as well try and claim a student training to be a doctor only has to learn to treat children, or a certain sex if they want to . . . which makes your claim utter rubbish.

    I don’t care what your opinion is.

    I think it is an option that could be explored. Animals aren’t people so you can’t make parallels.

    Not very convincing seeing as you are getting so excited about it

    Explore away, no responsible logical intelligent professional veterinary body or licencing authority is going to support it.

    Talk about much a do about nothing, how this muck got into a paper... sorry, state of the papers today is it any surprise.

    No one came out of this looking intelligent besides the pigs, who likely caused it all on purpose.

    You would see it in sheep much more often, CCN or Cerebro Cortical Necrosis. There's a small possibility of brain damage in cattle but broken bones and being put down because of that would be a much bigger problem.

    I doubt a cow being hit by a car would survive other injuries long enough for any brain damage to show up or become an issue.

    Actually one of my brother in laws is a vet, nearly 30 years experience at this stage and whilst they still do farm animals he says the money is now in small animals.
    Also it means he doesn't have to chase and listen to farmers complain they haven't money due to this that and the other.
    Also he doesn't particularly like dealing with horses as he often finds the owners even worse than farmers to get money.

    Oh and he now claims Noel Fitzpatrick is giving people wrong impression and it is becoming a pain in the hole with owners turning up with pets and expecting him to perform a miracle like Fitzpatrick does and the owners also never realise the costs involved.

    BTW this is guy that has done the likes of hip replacements and such on dogs.

    I am not allowed discuss …
