I personally would not rely on snap test results for my horse. I worked for an equine vet in New England and we had a lot of owners who would chose to do both the snap test and ELISA/western blot at...
Just curious as to when Science Diet, Eukanuba, and Iams became the cheap foods? When I was in school, they were considered the premium brands and Alpo, Friskies, Mighty Dog, etc were considered...
The clinic I work at charges $100 for the first 1-2 digital rads, then $45 per view after that. The $100 includes the set-up fee. Being the one who lugs around all that heavy x-ray equipment and...
