Can't take credit for it personally, it's been floating around the fax and email circuits for maybe a couple years now, going from one vet hospital to the next. I just ran across it again when doing a search for savannah monitor info on VIN. It was the only hit!

No idea who wrote it but any vet, tech or receptionist I ever met wishes s/he did.

Still can't figure out what a rock walder would be, though.....

It seems to me that kind of message (press this for that) is heard on most all vets during after hours.

Hee hee, can't believe I couldn't figure out Rottweiler.....

We used to get folks that would bring in box turtles missing a few scutes who thought they had the mange.
