The best “caution” note I’ve ever read from another hospital’s records.

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.

He learned this off of WebMD and he brushed me off completely when I said be wary of what the internet says. 😒

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.

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?’

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.

Update: I’ve called the owner twice to check on this dog. The phone rings once and goes to voicemail..silencing or blocked? Either way, I think we know this isn’t good news. I want to report them to the local animal control, but not sure I can without proof the dog passed..

For the absolute love of all that is good: PEOPLE. STOP WAITING TO CALL YOUR VET FOR A SICK VISIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE A HOLIDAY. And when we squeeze you in, DONT FUCKING NO SHOW.

It’s your right to vote for someone against your own self-interests, and it’s my right to call you a shortsighted stupid fucking idiot for doing it.

Hey people with hunting dogs: why do you insist on having 15 intact dogs yet you won’t vaccinate or really take care of any of them?????

Today at work: *client walks in* Client: do you have anything that will stop my cat from pooping on the floor? Me: No ma’am..we would recommend an exam to find out what’s going on Client: Ugh. There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s 2 years old & she’s done this for a while now.
