&lt;p&gt;Haha! I&amp;#39;m not too keen on nurse clinics myself - prefer being behind the scenes! Had to do a few appointments today though as vet got called out to a calving! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did a chip (fine), and 2 post op checks - both routine neuters, and both with temps! 102.5 and 103.2! Thankfully managed to get advice off a vet at the other branch, as I didn&amp;#39;t feel comfortable just sending them on their way!&lt;/p&gt;
