Insiders’ Look— David Stone, DVM, Bloomingrove Veterinary Hospital

Following are quips/quotes/stories/advice from one vet to another – what we say whenyou’re not around. None of these are mine originally. All are lifted, and here assembled, as

something for you to read.

You will make 1 mistake from not knowing something, and9 from not looking.

Cats that were “fine and eating well yesterday” are usuallyyellow (jaundice).

It is possible and quite likely, though not generally great forour mental health, that we will care more about some ofour patients than their owners do.

Resist the urge to give out your cell phone number.

Trust your gut - when your sense tells you that squirrellyshepherd wants to bite you, listen!

The truly awesome, dedicated, and pleasant clients are notas common an occurrence as we would like them to be.Not even close.

The guarantee in veterinary medicine is that maybe nottoday, maybe not tomorrow, but some day, the pet will die.

If you love this business, you will never work a day in your life!

When you do a venipuncture or nail trim on a small whitedog, it will bleed everywhere.

Kittens make everything better.

If a client says money is no object, they’re not planning to pay.

White dogs need charcoal, black dogs need barium.

I’m not perfect, I never will be, and my greatest hope isthat when I screw up, I am able to figure it out, fix it, andlearn from it.

Nice animals will have incurable, awful diseases. The nastyones will live forever.

So there is always a dreaded “baggy” which clients bring inand they want you to smell, touch, etc., the fecal/vomit/urine/parasite/other sample that’s inside.

“My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog

already thinks I am.”

October 6-November 4, 2012 7

Myths people tell us• A dry nose is a sign of a sick dog.

• “Ringworm” is a worm.

• My dog isn’t hurting, he’s just lame.

• A neutered male will not hunt.

• People can’t get animal parasites.

• Letting your female dog have a litter makes her abetter dog.

• Spaying your female dog will make her fat.

• Rubbing your dog’s face in his feces will housetrain him.

• When the breeder says the puppy is up-to-date onshots, that means the dog will never need anothervaccine – ever.

• The more congenital defects you can get into abreed, the more it is worth (English bulldog).

• If your dog doesn’t listen to you, beg and plead, or yelland scream, until it does. Because that really helps.

• Neutering a dog will calm him down and make him nice.

• Animals don’t need regular dental care.

• Indoor cats don’t need vaccines. • Indoor cats can’t get fleas. Dogs that only go outsideto go potty can’t get fleas.

• If your pet is itchy, it must be a food allergy, so try adifferent food from the grocery store.

• Your pet is not fat. • He can’t have fleas. If he did, they’d be biting me.

• Vets get kickbacks from the pet food companies forrecommending their foods.

• He hardly eats anything.• He’s aggressive because he was abused before wegot him (at 6 weeks).

• He’s aggressive because the last vet abused him.

• He stopped eating, so he needs his teeth cleaned.• Calico cats are grouchy because they’re half male.

• If you didn’t want fleas, you shouldn’t have gotten a dog.

Nacho is a large, shorthaired, 3-year-oldorange kitty. He’s the proverbial cool cat! He previously lived with children, otherkitties and a small dog and got along finewith everyone (he was given up due toallergies that developed in one of thechildren). Nacho loves people. He’s a friendlykitty who seeks affection and loves to play,and he’d love a chance at a new home wherehe can settle in and purr for the rest of hisdays. Please consider our big-boy kitty for aforever home with you. As we say: “He’sNacho ordinary kitty!” : )
