Marv there was one problem with the inquisition. the wrong ones were the subjects, it should have been the inquisitors being subjected to the atrocities.

When we lived in Bellflower CA, tended many foaling episodes, and toted alfalfa or Timothy bales for the girls. And resulting product. And bedding hay. And wood chips. However, better odds and permanent friendships compared to any disco or beach.
Being one of the old folks now, the others do go on about their doctors.
I'll ask them, do you have to tell them what's ailing you?
"Of course, he (she) is an incredible doctor, but how would he know what to treat otherwise?"

Did-ya ever watch a veterinarian of large OR small animals?


Now, Frank's reference to Inquisition; doesn't that just beg a little Monty Python?

Veterinary medicine can be brutal. Tooth "floats"...

are coarse files used to remove sharp points from equine teeth so they don't cut the inside of the mouth. Horses are not greatly pleased by this operation so a speculum...

is used to keep their mouth open for access and to prevent them from biting the vet.

(Looks remarkably similar to something used in the inquisition.)
