Overheard at the vet

[SilverBrumby]

So I had to take my old cat to the vet last night. (She's much improved
today.)
While I'm sitting there, I hear the receptionist make a call, looking for
someone who isn't there.
"...Well, you tell him if he doesn't make payment arrangements in 14 days,
we're destroying his semen!"



I paid my bill on the spot!

I never knew bailiffs had that power! Now I'm worried.

Or you went into the sperm bank by mistake.

Storage of semen in cryogenic containers is expensive, you have to pay for it.

Cow/Horse semen can be very valuable.

So if you don't pay they are going to take it out of the fridge.

And then do what with it? Throw it as passing cars? Make a smoothie? Boil it? if I breath evaporated horse semen, does that mean I'm pregnant?

When it is frozen, is it deemed to be living?
... and the freezing process makes 'life' inactive?
... then 'life' is re-activated?

They probably flush it down the toilet ...

The thing about animal semen is quite serious, consider some horse semen
could easely have values around thousands of pounds and there are
particular legislations around it.

I am not completely sure ( lawyer needed ) if "you don't pay for storage == we have the right to destroy it"
anyway considering that quite possible they can't make any profit out of
it I think they probably HAVE to destroy it i( to prevent
someone else could resell or make a profit out of it ).

Now the funny side is, that horse semen is probably lot more valuable ( in
terms of cash people would pay for it ) than yours ...

Ironic isn't it ?

This vet clinic does a lot of work with show dogs, so I'm guessing they
were talking about his dog.

I still think it's a hell of a threat.

As long as they don't leave it by the coffee by accident it's ok

She seems okay. It's hard to tell with her, she just doesn't show any sign of
pain until she is really hurting. This morning there was no sign of anything
wrong with her.
Now I just have to deal with the next week of giving her antibiotic pills
morning and night. She is damned good at hiding them under her tongue,
then when I finally let her go, spitting the pill at me and running off.

Oh yes. We know THAT trick.

Oh this morning was fun. It wasn't too hard to give Mama Cat her pill, I've
started giving it to her right before she eats, so she can see her bowl sitting
on the counter waiting until we finish fighting over the pill.
But Star, the 6 month old cat, has decided that it's not fair that she gets pills
and he doesn't! He would not get out of the way, and the first time she spat
the pill he tried to dive on it.

Thank you.
