"If they start to feel it, just cut faster."

Words to live by. Especially when you have a scalpel.

eee! Yeah, the cow in question in this particular incident was sedate enough that we could lay her on her side (though not completely under) and had lidocaine locally. We're actually quite conscientious about what our patients feel (mostly because of their tendency to bite, kick or scratch when they don't like what we're doing) which is was made this so funny.

Owch on the poor epidural though...
