That told me nothing at all, I waited and hoped you’d give us something ‘new’ yet everything you said, we’d been aware of already ......
Pleased he’s increased the fines to those that think they’re immune !

If you scroll down the Sun article iit shows in pink what premises are or are not allowed to open. Vets should be open for business.

Our vets are working. Not just emergencies

//We would like to reassure you that at this uncertain time, we are still here to care for your pets if they are sick.

However to reduce social interactions we are now postponing all routine appointments. If that applies to you, our staff will be in touch. Do not hesitate to phone if you have queries or concerns about your pet.

If your pet is on a longterm medication this will be supplied as usual.

When visiting the practice for an appointment or to collect medications and food, please wait in your car and phone the reception on 01328 855814, to let us know you have arrived.

Alternatively, we are offering telephone/video veterinary appointments. These would be booked in a specific time slot and a normal consultation fee would be charged. However, there will be scenarios where telemedicine isn't appropriate.

Please don't hesitate to contact the practice if you have any questions.//
Thank you Apc, I have tried and tried to explain all that to them. I've told them I will follow all their rules and just wait outside for my dog, but it's like trying to get blood out of a stone. I have pointed out that it will become an emergency if it isn't done soon, but they simply will NOT do it. Another thing they are refusing to do is clip dogs nails, and Ican't understand how they can compare cutting nails to emptying anal glands!
My vet's has been open throughout retro, but only for what they call emergencies, as I have stated. I will contact them again to see if this has changed since Boris's speech, but I doubt it.
Have you tried any other vets, Margin ?
Margie did you see my suggestion at 17.16? What do you think?

If you don't fancy that, try another vet. In fact if I were you I'd change my vet anyway.
Margie (predictive text!)
Sorry lb, I didn't see it. I have considered doing it myself in desperation, but when I checked on YouTube, I knew I couldn't do it, I'm too squeamish. I have tried other vets and they won't do it either, apparently it's guidelines from the RCVS (I've emailed them too to tell them what I think of them and this ridiculous ruling), but my dog isn't registered with the other vets anyway, it's the vet I have used for several years now that I am angry with for not doing it and yes, I am going to change them when all this madness is over!
Yes Apc, see above.
Yes I'd rather pay someone else to do it M.
My neighbour says it takes him less than five minutes to do it and two of those are taken up with him looking for his poo gloves:-)
Our dog groomer does it and cuts claw as part of grooming. i know how to do it but wouldn't dare. I would be terrified of causing damage.

My dog groomer done Lola last Thursday and cut her nails, change your vet APC

Oh how nice...haha, Lola once did that and was minging
//My vet's has been open throughout retro, but only for what they call emergencies//

Then that's their choice, Margie and nothing to do with the PM. You said you wished he would allow the vets to open properly again. He hasn't stopped them from doing so.

To try to try to quell some of the confusion, here's the full list of business types that are allowed to operate (taken from the legislation):

24.Food retailers, including food markets, supermarkets, convenience stores and corner...
25.Off licenses and licensed shops selling alcohol (including breweries).
26.Pharmacies (including non-dispensing pharmacies) and chemists.
27.Newsagents.
28.Homeware, building supplies and hardware stores.
29.Petrol stations.
30.Car repair and MOT services.
31.Bicycle shops.
32.Taxi or vehicle hire businesses.
33.Banks, building societies, credit unions, short term loan providers and cash points
34.Post offices.
35.Funeral directors.
36.Laundrettes and dry cleaners.
37.Dental services, opticians, audiology services, chiropody, chiropractors, osteopaths and other medical or health services, including services relating to mental health.
38.Veterinary surgeons and pet shops.
39.Agricultural supplies shop.
40.Storage and distribution facilities, including delivery drop off or collection...
41.Car parks.
42.Public toilets.

And those that cannot operate (not including pubs, restaurants, etc which are in a different schedule):

5.Cinemas.
6.Theatres.
7.Nightclubs.
8.Bingo halls.
9.Concert halls.
10.Museums and galleries.
11.Casinos.
12.Betting shops.
13.Spas.
14.Nail, beauty, hair salons and barbers.
15.Massage parlours.
16.Tattoo and piercing parlours.
17.Skating rinks.
18.Indoor fitness studios, gyms, swimming pools, bowling alleys, amusement arcades or soft play areas or other indoor leisure centres or facilities.
19.Funfairs (whether outdoors or indoors).
20.Playgrounds, sports courts and outdoor gyms.
21.Outdoor markets (except for stalls selling food).
22.Car showrooms.
23.Auction Houses.
Our vet and garden centre have stayed the same throughout... except the cafe part was shut for a while. It does seem to depend on individual interpretation.
lb - I'm looking forward to telling them that I will no longer require their services and I will tell them exactly why! Not a shrinking violet me!

Bobbi - are dog groomers working normally?
Rushes off to amend our delivery for Thursday.........

No-one else in my fs mily likes them. All the more for me!
Wrong thread Apc?
