[Work]Oh my god apparently there's a full moon or something because all the one functioning brain cell people came in today

here are some highlights

man taking off the bandage around his dog's foot after removal of toenail 12 hours later

and wondering "why is he limping and licking at his foot constantly, shouldn't he be back to normal"

a dog bite case where the dog bite happened several months ago and the owners, truly, genuinely thought, the other party would pay for today's visit which was about an ear infectuion

what the fuck

this couple also thought that specific dog treats contributed to ear infections

this couple was also told their dog had tracheal collapse due to genetics and breed type "but could the bite that happened on the rear end worsen the problem?" no

your dog was diagnosed in Jan 2020 the dog bite was in Nov. 2020

your dog is coughing and breathing worse because you have refused to treat the collapsed trachea

a woman who brought us a cat for a second opinion about urination issues and

these urination issues happen every "6 months" and involving rear end presenting and "simulated sex" with her "neutered" male cat

she insists her cat is spayed because her friend who gave the cat to her said so

a woman who brought in her dog for urination issues where i had to spend 15 minutes explaining

a UTI does not need to have the symptom of blood in urine for it to be positive

good lord

a couple who stopped giving antibiotics to their dog because "they didn't know what the pills were doing"

which, in turn, led to the rupturing of one of the dog's anal glands

which the antibiotics were for

a little chihuahua who has had "ear trouble" for 3 years and when he shakes "stuff" comes out

yes ma'am that would be puss and wax from the massive ear infection

I'm gagging

my favorite is spending so much time telling a patient

no sir, your dog will not "leak" urine after we take a sample via a needle for a cystocentesis, there will not be a hole for the urine to drip through

no sir, your dog peeing all over your house is not from the "needle hole" you brought your dog in for peeing in your house before, us taking a sterile sample directly from the bladder is not why she peed on your carpet when you returned home

the small about of client interaction i have as a vet tech is TRULY a test in my patience

oh my god no
