What about a guess for Galahad's Dad???? Think of one of the most famous knights of the round table.

[Shelley123]

Pamela, just read that the lump on Skye has almost gone, that's great. I think i'd mention it to the vet next time you go just so they are aware before her next booster

[Shelley123]

Sir Lancelot ?????????????

[pamela81]

i definately will shelley, it had me worried, its not completely away so i will be more settled when it disappears completely. its good to be able to pet her and not feel a lump

[lynz85]

i dont even know who galahad is :oops:

[pamela81]

pb shelley please

[lynz85]

im gonna pb shelley

[Shelley123]

it could have been a bit of an alergic reaction. Sometimes when people have jabs it leaves a lump

[angieh]

Lynz - do you want to p/b????

[angieh]

Yeeeeeea - three correct answers again! Sir Lancelot is correct.

Q3. For a rat it is 22; for a skunk 62; for a cat 63 and for a camel 406. To what biological process do these numbers refer?

[pamela81]

im hoping thats what it was, it didnt seem to bother her when i touched it to check. she went off her food after the jags eventhough she didnt have breakfast before we took her, she wouldnt eat all day and hid out of the way for most of the day but after that she was her usual self

[Shelley123]

gestation days ????????????????????

[pamela81]

the amount of bones that they have?

[lynz85]

bones in tails???????????

[lynz85]

ahhh no wait it may be pregnancy

[Shelley123]

:oops: i'm sure a poor camel couldn't be pregnant for 400 days

[pamela81]

oops,misread yet again, done that alot tonight!!! i think the amount of water that they need?

[angieh]

Re the little lump - I think I said I get the same thing after a flu jab, I believe it's a collection of antibodies at the site of the injection that eventually just disperses into the blood stream.

[pamela81]

can i pb shelley again please Shelley, hope im not too heavy pb'ing :P

[angieh]

Don't go off course ..... two of you had the right answer!!!

[Shelley123]

Lynz, how's your back now ? any better ?

[Shelley123]

[lynz85]

[Shelley123]

[angieh]

It is gestation days - you should know about rats though Lynz, maybe the source was a bit off or the average bought it down a day ..... who knows?

Q4 What is the name of the groove which runs between the base of the nose to the top of the upper lip on the human face?
