  1. You gotta remember to text can come off your animal and go on you and you can get very sick. I did. I ended up with limes disease that turned into meningitis so bad. It took them a month to figure out what was wrong with me and two hospitals they said my brain was so swollen and pushing on my skull I couldn’t eat I couldn’t drink I couldn’t sleep. I had to literally sit on my couch and a certain position and I could not move my head. I couldn’t move it all Cause it was so painful felt like my head was gonna explode and he kind of light was a no go yeah it was horrible so be careful with text on your dogs as well as yourself if you start feeling crappy soon after you had a tick bite or a possible tick bite you think you had go to the hospital Ask him to test you for Lyme disease mention meningitis if you have those side effects, which is pounding headache I mean like someone’s squeezing your brain OK nausea, vomiting lack of appetite the feeling of just feeling like crap very very stiff neck like excruciating pain down your spinal cord. They will probably give you a spinal tap which hopefully your doctor is better than the one I had that took them two hours to do and if you get a spinal tap, keep an eye on your symptoms as well because your headache will get a lot worse and you will feel worse for a couple days because they were taking spinal fluid out, but there is a chance That you can continue leaking spinal fluid from where they went in, which will cause even more pain and suffering so if you have this done and you notice after a day or two, it’s just getting worse you let them know and you let them know what you think it might be because doctors aren’t gonna look for things like that And get yourself help and treat but if you do have meningitis limes disease most likely you’re gonna stay in a hospital like I did. I was being treated for the limes disease as well as meningitis tons of antibiotics tons of medication tons of IBS but helped and the quick you get treatment the less likely you’ll have permanent damage Which I did get some permanent damage because it took them so long to figure it out, but I’ve seen people that have had way worse effects. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Don’t be afraid to get a different doctor. If you don’t think that one’s good that’s what I did even though it took me longer. The first doctor was within a week of my symptoms, they told me it was a virus sent me home second time. Ian wants to even wanna drive in the hospital. He told me I was just dehydrated. I needed to drinksome water. I made them take me. I was sitting in the waiting room, but nine hours before they brought me in and then two hours to do a spinal tap and then 20 minutes after that they came in and told me I have meningitis and they would get me upstairs.

  2. Hold on is this the Demolition Ranch dude? When I send the thumbnail I knew he looked familiar then when I started it and it said Vet Ranch then the voice matched up. Definitely wouldn’t of expected him to be a veterinarian

  3. Anyone else happy and sad when they saw Matt come up for flea treatment? So many years watching his videos on guns.
