STINKING DIARRHEA
Short, loud and to the point.
Someday, when Deadnight Warrior has over 15,000 posts under his belt, and is known far and wide for his wisdom, diplomacy and all around likeability, I going to remind him what his first post was.
I don't know what I expected coming in here, but that wasn't it.

That's probably EXACTLY what Deadnight Warrior said after discovering it!
The worst is getting up in the middle of the night to walk, barefoot, through a darkened house a stepping in hours-old dog diarrhea.
Well, not the worst, by any stretch of the imagination, but damned unpleasant.
Patiodog, after thirty-two years of veterinary practice, let me assure you that that is not the worst thing a person can get up in the middle of the night to find.
So what are the leading causes of abortion in Idaho cows, doc?
Got to have something to do with Democrats...
As is the case everywhere else, over fifty percent of all bovine abortions are undiagnosed or idiopathic. When an infectious cause is determined, it is most commonly viral (mainly IBR or BVD), bacterial (Listeria, Camphylobacter, or - God forbid - Brucella), fungal (usually Aspergillus), or a spirochete (Leptospira). But, since an abortion rate of from .5 to 1.0 percent is considered to be normal, most of the time, these things just happen.
Couldn't ask for a straighter answer.
Gotta say, you two's avatars have a certain resemblance...
