Lisette...and all... i, for one, can not believe this!...i know at my vet...and every vet i have ever been to...[and i have had critters for 40-someodd years...] ...they have always utilized good sanitation practices...cleaning the tables...and yes...letting them stand unused in between 'clients'...that is why they have so many treatment rooms...so a new 'client' is not going immediately into a room just vacated...the table is cleaned...and yes, i have seen the vet cleaning up between clients..i am a nosey one..and tend to look out doors... vets do what they do to SAVE lives and PREVENT illness...they do NOT perpetuate illness on purpose...that is ludicrous to me... now lisette...i am not calling you a liar...maybe you have seen some unethical practices...but by no means is this the norm or even common... right, BILL S?...[i will get him to say something on here one of these days!!!!] oh, yes...this is still me, kat parsons, behind this new e-mail addy... yahoo decided to not let several days of FML thru to me...so BIG kindly suggested a different e-mail place to help me out...:) thanks, bill..:) kat KITY= .. =KAT...
