[Alpacasite] re: help with a new vet

Hi Gary,
We gave our vet our copy of "the blue book", not Kellys :)
The Murray Fowler blue book.
After using it ourselves for 5 years, and earmarking it, and writing in the margins, I gave it to our newest small ruminant vet. She can really use it (and understand it) a whole lot better than I can, and if I really need it, I know right where it is :)
I will also give her Dr. Evan's book for Christmas this year, and she has Dr. Anderson's university web link for all the newest updates.

Then I would say, woo your new vet! Send them cards, make them cookies, and every time you have them out, or take your pacas in, send them a thank you note.
They are greatly under appreciated by many, many folks. As soon as they realize they are appreciated, they respond in kind.
Ciao~
