VETMED FORUM: RODENT (?) DISEASE

"My Persian Cat Hannah was just at the vet, she has a swollen
inner lip, and they told me it was Rodent ???(something)
I can't remember now. She is on Antibiotics for a week, then
possibly steroids if none of the above help she will need
surgery. I am wondering if anyone knows the full name of this
disease so I can get further information on it."

PRE-VET FORUM: READY TO BE A VET

get x-rays, and I feel like I'm ready to be the doctor,
with my own techs to lift and struggle with the animals!!
I've done my time!"

VETMED FORUM: BLOOD TRANSFUSION & OXYGLOBIN

"Hey all!
If you have a second, I was wondering:
Do you do your own transfusions in clinic?
If so, how often?
Have you heard of Oxyglobin?
If so, do you use it and how often?

This is for my own curiosity and nothing else."

Thanx in advance!
