Did you know?

Next time you are in Yass Valley Veterinary, challenge our receptionist Carrie to a game of Trivia.  We think she will win.

I lived in the Yass Valley until around age 11 when we moved to a property in Rye Park. 
As long as I can remember we loved to visit my Pop’s farm in Murrumbateman where he ran cattle and sheep. My dad is also a pretty handy farmer and full time shearer. He would let us come to work with him often, so I thought I knew a little bit about animals....

Then I got a job at the Yass Valley Veterinary as a casual receptionist and well, MIND BLOWN! 

Did you know when an Alpaca gives birth it is called unpacking or a Creation? 

Did you know horses cannot vomit? 

My trivia game is going to be so strong next time I play!!
I love my days at the Yass or Murrumbateman Veterinary Hospital, as no two days are EVER the same. 
A few weeks after I started a client called and wanted to organise a euthanasia for a sick pet snake.Of course the the vets said “not a problem”. Not long after this call a client arrived with a crock pot. Not realising this was the client that had not long ago called, I peered into the pot and to my surprise it was filled to the brim with a pet python not doing so well.  
.....
Yesterday I got a call asking if we desex roosters? 

Some may play sudoku or do crosswords to keep the mind agile. 
I work at the local Veterinary Hospital.
