Geez now you got me on a roll! I could go on for hours lol!


One of the things I hate the most are when the puppies come in to get their dewclaws and tails docked. They cry so bad, poor things. They always knumb the tail but they NEVER knumb the feet and these puppies are just wide awake while someone cuts off their toes.

Unfortunately these are the things I have to deal with when you are in this profession. People always say they will get over it and never knew it happens etc etc etc, but I don't care. Wouldn't it hurt you if someone cut your toe off? I can't believe the way some people think. Of course at our clinic we also do declaws as well, but we don't do ear cropping I don't think.


The funnest things for me are the neuters. Dr. Barrington was telling me once that the older vet used to let his techs do the neuters without teaching them the right way, and that he lost a lot of cats to bleeding to death because of it. This is also the vet who did "botched" declaws and the cats had to come in to get re-declawed.
