Awesome thread!!

I don't see the "yucky" stuff as much, but I sure do if I have to talk to a doctor while they're in surgery. Not the best part of my job, but it is very interesting.

I've seen declaws, anal glad removals, spay/neuters, euthanasias, foxtail removal (which is a HUGE thing at our vet...I'd never even thought about something like that hurting an animal so much!) and other wierd/strange things I've never even heard about.

The worst part is when people have to put their beloved animals to sleep. I can't imagine how hard it is to have to do that and try to keep your composure in front of strangers. Poor, poor people.

The BEST part is seeing all the animals. I love my job because of that. I get to get head bumpies, slobbery doggy kisses and lots of lovins from all the patients and I love it.

A story? This dog came in over a week ago for a removal of some benign growth on his back leg. That dog has been in EVERY OTHER DAY to restitch his wound because he keeps undoing it!! He's torn through his e-collar each time and even ate his way through the spikes the doctor put in on Tuesday. Yep...they were in again today!!! Silly dog!
