Thread: All safe & sound

Wish I had kept notes of all the funnies that have happened over the years & then could have wrote a book when I retired,it is the type of place that has lots of very sad times but then a little gem will lighten everything up,some things move to the back of your mind & come foreward like today when Debbie commented on coming up with something else,other things like the client sitting there without the animal & we asked "Have you forgotten something",thats always there,her face,we dined out on that for years & although that person has since had a stroke when she comes in she always says "Can you remember",one of the joys of working in a very small practice...

I always thought the bite not collar looked like a neck collar I had to wear when I had whiplash!! but less intrusive than a buster. I have seen the post op tops and many dressings which try to stop the licking. I was lucky in that Roxy did not bother with her wound when she was spayed I think it was more traumatic for me.

Out of intrerest Jackie do you favour pink vetwrap for butch dogs???

No,I normally go more for the psychedelic green for those type of dogs but one of our staff members is colour blind so it has been known....How to loose street cred in one go !

Had to take poor Gracie back to the vets again today as her rasping and coughing has still not let up. Her temperature was raised and they think she may have picked up a throat infection, possibly from the trachea tube. One anti-inflammatory injection and antibiotics to give her for the next week - fingers crossed she starts to make an improvement, poor mite :-(
