Speaking of foxtails, wow those things sure can be dangerous. There was a rotty puppy in not too long ago that had one in her eye. Poor girl! We knew something was bugging her but it took us over an hour to find the foxtail. He eye was so swollen. We had to keep putting dye in her eye and then using one of those long qtips to push around the area of her eye. We had to dig so deep but finally we found it.


Kater, I have seen several maggots on dogs and cats, mostly stray cats that come in.


One of the worst smelliest things though is working on dogs with intestinal cancer. When we put Morgan down they had just finished operating on her to see what was wrong. When they opened her her intestines were so bad. We decided to euthanize her while she was still under anesthesia. It was the worst experience because her insides were literally rotting away, and after she passed she vomited up a bunch of her liquid intestines and it was the most horrible smell on earth. It is not the last picture you want to hold in your mind of your beloved dog.
