Then in happened again so I phoned my OH - he rushed home from work and we drove her to our vets 45 mins away - I was frantic.

I explained to the vet that she was having a prolapse and he got out a book and showed me this weird looking thing and said " your Evie is a Stevie" - that info cost me £30 - from then on he would not stop parading it - I used to tap him on the head - try and feed him - stick him in a washing up bowl - all to try and get him to put it away - it is by far one of the most horrid looking male parts I have ever seen !!!

how funny,i wonder how many times that happens to vet?

Hi, I have a redfoot and he weighs in at about 3kilos. he gave us the pleasure of his bits whilst we were having our tea. It looked like the starship enterprise. I took a picture of him to the vets as one of the new vets hadn't seen one and she couldn't believe it...

Imagine the claim form 'how did the accident happen...' 'well officer - a disturbing thing happened earlier today'

I see my hermanns bits far too often, but having just seen the video of the Redfoot I'm almost happy, A Hermanns is no way neer as traumatising at that!!
