Funny Story about "Old School Vet"
So, there was an old guy named Dr. Ford who practice close to Spanish Town. Bit of a whack job....charged next to nothing....carried pistol in back pocket that was always just about to fall out and onto the floor.....would frequently eat his lunchmeat sandwich during exams, placing the sandwich on the exam table with his "patient".
So anyway, my college GF was cat-sitting her friends orange tabby and it got sick. Her friend said the cat was ill and that she had recently brought it to Dr. Ford who didn't pay much attention to the cat, but rather just force fed it a pill, charged $5.00 and said come back if it doesn't get better.
So, while my GF had the cat it wasn't doing well. Per the instructions, she brought it to Dr. Ford. He looked at it for 30 seconds and then shoved a horse pill down the cat's throat, charged $5.00 and said come back if it doesn't get better.
Well, after a couple days the cat is still not doing well. My GF was kinda freaked out by Dr. Ford and asked me to take the cat back over there and explain that he had seen the cat twice already. So, I put the cat in a pillow case and go see Dr. Ford.
We go in the exam room and I start looking around at the weirdness of what he calls an exam room. Before I had a chance to say anything and I swear my back was turned for just a moment.....when I turned around, he was shoving another giant horse pill down the cat's pie hole and said " This is the 3rd orange tabby I have seen this week with this problem. That will be $5.00. Just bring it back if it doesn't get better."

We brought all our pets to Dr Ford for as long as he was in business.

Dr. Ford
I used to walk our Great Danes from Scenic Hwy. to his office. People would scramble to get on their porches. It was amazing to me.

Back to the Dr. Ford post. Many years ago I brought in a litter of 6 pups for their first visit. Sat down and looked around the packed waiting room and saw no one else with any pups or cats. He was the best and cheapest in the B.R. area.

Lol. When I saw the title to this thread I thought of Dr. Ford. He has some Nazi signs and stuff in his office.
We had the meanest Doberman Pincher around at the time. He would handle it like a toy dog.
Good times
