So, my appointment today is late, and the lady who's finally picking up her dog (WHO WAS AN OUTPATIENT YESTERDAY ARGH) is late, and my money's on them arriving at the Exact Same Time. And one of them being pissy when they discover I haven't learned how to clone myself yet.

Tomorrow is Friday. We don't receive on Friday. In fact, I may get out early on Friday.

GLORY BE.

And client is here. *goes to deal with that*

EDIT: So yes, I was in with the new clients, and my pager goes off for the previous clients wanting their dog back NAO OMG.

\o/ GLORY BE INDEED.

I think this needs to be celebrated. Even if I have the Saturday Emergency day shift, it still won't be the last two weeks of 'your dog/cat has a tumor what is bad. Good news: The badness will only last 3-6 months. Bad news: So will your dog/cat.'

I should not have laughed at that.

Unrelated but sort of related: Can dogs have RANDOM PANIC ATTACKS?

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of things on this service I shouldn't cackle at, but... yeah.

Some do? Some dogs are v. anxious anyway (read: Huskies, GSHP, German Shepherds, etc) and can have classic separation anxiety. Some people get hit bad - they go out for a few hours, and come back to Destruction Of House Via Dog.

Hrm. More of just the dog was in the car with mom and Steph the other day, and then proceeded to throw a holy terror fit of barking (and she crapped all over the car and then proceeded to shake all the way back home, as they turned around to come back) and at first we thought it was another heart/seizure/what have you but she never passed out, just...yipped. A lot.

Maybe she saw a ghost.

(Is a Jack Russell mix, but probably the most unenthusiastic Jack Russell you'd ever meet?)

*headtilts* Odd. There is a fairly extensive list of things that can cause seizures/seizure type things/random bursts of wtf was that, so... if it keeps happening, I'd have a vet see it, if it doesn't... it doesn't?

*fails at helpfulness, yes*

She already had one heart blip/seizure/passout GENERALLY CAUSE HUMANS TO FLAIL IN PANIC AND RUSH TO VET ER thing and we got her some medication, for emergencies, so if she does it again we'll go back to Dr. Cho and say 'um. she's a spaz plz 2 b fixing?'.

If not, then she doesn't.

LMFAO it's random as hell, I'm not expecting you to diagnose from half a state away on a dog you've never seen in your life.

... you'd be surprised how many people expect just that.

*dreads the phone calls I'll be getting Saturday*

Random Person On Phone: "So, um, my dog's been vomiting, and there's diarrhea all over the house but I don't know if it's from this dog or my other two dogs or maybe my cat or maybe the baby, and it's a Gemini, and I bought it four years ago from Person X... what's wrong with my dog?"

Me: ......... "Srsly?"

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

...that sounds like a 'choose your own adventure' novel.

"...what's wrong with my dog?"

"Well, if the diarrhea is from the dog that's been vomiting, turn to page 34. If it's from the baby, turn to page 57..."

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

It kinda sorta is. I mean, that could be anything from 'Ma'am, please stop letting your dog chow out of the garbage' to 'Ma'am, I'm sorry, but your dog has end-stage GI lymphoma' and everything in between.

What? You don't learn how to clone yourself in grad school? :(

[bodldops.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha no. I must have skipped that day or something.
