@IPetHairyThings Plot twist: dog was paralyzed and we had to euthanize. Damn. Thought for sure ChatGPT’s suggestion to feed scrambled eggs would fix her legs she hasn’t used for 2 months😞
No maam, ChatGPT is not an accurate nor acceptable way to selfdiagnose your dog’s inability to walk. You’re doing everything except what you should.. call a vet.
So yesterday this guy told me he wouldn’t be giving his aggressive dog Trazodone before his appt on Friday because it caused a nose bleed. pulled the chart, last month he reported sneezing with blood in it.
She took treats from my hand less than 5 mins before she started charging me and preventing me from going into a different room, and then bit my thigh. Was I *supposed* to buck back at her to assert authority or would that just have been perceived as ‘oh she IS the enemy?’
I really have never felt this embarrassed before now.
I have been in vet med for 12 years, and a pet sitter for 13. I’ve dealt with a lot of quirky dogs, but never one that aggressively charged me and wouldn’t allow me to move when it had been fine with me 6 hours prior.
Can someone explain to me why the clients who bitch about bringing pets in for follow ups always drive a BMW, Mercedes or a Tesla? Can y’all prioritize your fucking responsibilities to your pets before you get an overpriced vehicle? For fucks sake.
Ugh.
Client called & canceled his 15wk old puppy’s appointment for its first Rabies. Client says to me:
“Oh, the breeder told us to wait til she was a year old to get the Rabies vaccine because it’s too hard on them as puppies…”
WHEN WILL BREEDERS LEARN TO STAY IN THEIR LANE?!?!
Monday morning a client walked in for an appt. These people gave their dog 2 BOTTLES of hydrogen peroxide. Yes. 2 bottles. After ingesting underwear that he did eventually also vomit.
