    arrgh.. was writing a reply when we had a city wide power cut!!

    SRM, Beanie, i don't have ins as until 5 or 6 yrs ago, she never had anything wrong with her, and most insurers won't insure pets over 10 yrs old!

    but vet has called, looks like she has gingervitus, her blood test show a high urea levels and her bp was also a bit high, so she's not had her teeth or cyst done, she'll be on anti b's and will have to go back for another bp test in about a month.

    ou says i may qualify

    but is it a course i can do from home? or do i have to go somewhere to study (which will be difficult with all the appointments i have to go to with my mum)

    gemzie no i haven't done an soa

    Yep it's all from home - they do tutorials once a month for some courses but it's not compulsary to attend, and some courses have one exam at the end of the year.

    You can do it from home in your own time, some courses have exams but it's only one.
