Can you share some vet horror stories?

Sure. One vet horror story is about a misdiagnosis. A dog was constantly vomiting and the vet thought it was just a stomach bug. But it turned out to be a blockage in the intestine which was only discovered when the dog was on the verge of death. Another is when a cat had a skin issue and the vet prescribed the wrong cream which made the cat's skin even worse.

A vet tech horror story could be a situation where a sick animal was brought in with an unknown disease. The vet tech was the first to handle it and later found out that the disease was highly contagious. They were worried about having exposed themselves and other animals in the clinic. Another one was when a vet tech was assisting in a difficult birth of a large dog. There were complications and blood everywhere. It was a very gory and scary scene. And in one instance, a vet tech was trying to draw blood from a very uncooperative horse. The horse kicked out and nearly hit the tech in the face, which was a really frightening moment.

A really bad experience was when the vet reception lost my pet's file. I had been going to that vet for years with my parrot. When I arrived for a regular check - up, they said they couldn't find any record of my parrot. They made me fill out all new forms and it took ages. I was worried they wouldn't know my parrot's history and might miss something important in the examination.

Sure. A parrot was taken to a vet hospital because it had stopped eating. The vet there didn't have much experience with birds. They gave the parrot the wrong diet advice and some inappropriate medications. Soon, the parrot's condition worsened and it eventually died. The owner was heartbroken as they felt that the vet should have been more careful and either referred them to an avian specialist or done more research.

Sure. One time a vet had a parrot as a patient. The parrot kept repeating naughty words it had learned from its owner. The vet was trying so hard not to laugh while examining it. Another time, a cat was so scared at the vet's that it climbed onto the highest shelf in the room and refused to come down, making the vet use all kinds of tricks to get it.

One sad vet story is about a vet who had to put down a dog that had been with a family for over a decade. The dog was old and suffering from an incurable disease. The family was heartbroken, and the vet could feel their pain as well. It was a tough situation for everyone involved.

Sure. One time, a parrot came into the vet clinic. It started mimicking the vet's every word and movement. The vet would say 'Let me see your wing' and the parrot would repeat it in the same tone while spreading its wing. It was hilarious.

Sure. One time a vet student was trying to examine a large dog. The dog was so excited that it kept licking the student's face non - stop, making it really hard to focus on the examination.

Sure. One vet school story is about a student who was trying to examine a particularly feisty cat. The cat kept scratching and hissing, but the student remained calm and patient. Eventually, the cat calmed down and the student was able to complete the examination successfully. It taught everyone the importance of patience in dealing with animals.

Sure. One time a vet nurse was trying to give a big dog a bath. The dog hated water and kept trying to jump out of the tub. It managed to get one paw on the edge and started to pull itself out. The nurse was holding on to the dog's collar, and they ended up in a tug - of - war, with water splashing everywhere. It was quite a sight.
