I've had owners try to lance open abcesses at
home with steak knives, tell me pets were keeping
their wounds "clean" by licking them ("how can my
pet have such a bad infection?"), give lots of
cheese to dogs with diarrhea (because "cheese
binds up people so I thought it would work for
the dog"), and for the funniest one I've seen
yet, one lady's solution to her dog incessantly
chewing at it's skin was to *duct tape* over all
the parts he was chewing. (I'm really not
kidding! ~_~) And the dog was *nasty* to boot,
we all almost got bitten trying to get the tape
back off. ~_~
There are some owners who come to my clinic for
whom I would crawl across broken glass if they
needed me to. . . And then these other people
walk in and I curse the fact that *ANY* ding-dong
can buy a pet. ~_~
Many Sharp Smiles,
--Drac
