I keep hens but I will admit I know very little about the diseases they get. :colondollar:

I know of Marek's and gapeworm, that's the extent of my knowledge! :redface:

(so far!

GAPEWORM is the best worm. I love its morphology (google it) as its permanently in copulo and I remember the male is smaller I think. Perfect :colone:

. Synagmus Trachea.

These threads have got progressively earlier each year. :tongue:

Although this is a tad extreme I will admit! :lol:

Extreme is an understatement. :P

Now, do vet medics need to meet the same requirement as normal meds do?

Oven mits, wow! :lol:

People have no idea just how dangerous rabbits can be! :lol:

My arms are beautifully decorated with a criss-cross of scars, all of them homage to the fact that my rabbits decide when a cuddle is finished, not me! :lol:

Yes! Rabbits are not as cuddly as people think!! My friend bought a rabbit who had been given back to the pet shop as a rescue rabbit. He had been given back TWICE and each time was because the rabbit had bitten a child. :rolleyes:

He has a lovely home now though :biggrin:

Rabbits are seen as an easy pet to look after unfortunately. :frown:

I wouldn't say they are suitable for young children at all. It's good that the rabbit has a loving home now though. :biggrin:

Out of interest, at what stage did you guys (people already at uni :tongue:

) start attending open days? I on Facebook that there's a few open days at the RVC coming up, but it's still really early and I don't think I'll go this year.

Guess who just got 9 more days of wex booked :awesome:

Now I'm desperate for one more day because then it will be 10 days which is two working weeks. Doing 1.8 weeks just looks so messy :colondollar:

I went to open days in year 12 I think. I felt it was really useful to see the place and talk to students - in fact I was unsure whether to apply to Liv, and only did so after visiting an open day and now would not like to be anywhere else :smile:

I'd recommend to go to open days between years 11-12 if possible. Year 13 starts to get a bit more busy with writing statements etc. Some unis will give you a tour anyway when you come for interview, but it's nice to look around beforehand I think.
