We also had a hamster yesterday. She ripped her leg off. The clinic wanted a full set of xrays and god knows what kinda case report so we did something we usually dont, hamster surgery. Owner agreed to the risks.
The hamster went home fine. But very angry.

Today a dog, heavier than me, fear peed on two colleagues and myself why we were doing an ultrasound. He peed on the table, the towels, the floor, the ultrasound machine... we were less that ecstatic.

sarcoptes.
My youngest guineapig lost all her hair on her belly and got some inflammated spots. I put her on a towel and gave her metacam but I wonder where this suddenly came from.
I hope it is not some underlying hormonal issue...

I removed the cat tree and one cat still tries her very hardest to jump as high as possible. Since she is unstoppable, running around and all, she has now been locked out in the hallway where not a single piece of furniture is higher than my shins.
Please stop man.

Yes, human #med colleagues, #vetmed has #antivax problems too. For diseases that we still see every year and have low survival rates and/or are extremely expensive to treat out of pocket (like rabies and parvo). Sigh. thebulletin.org/2023/09/rabi...
Rabid anti-vaxxers could help spread deadly disease
Many owners are hesitant to get their dogs vaccinated against rabies. Vaccine hesitancy may also affect human vaccination after potential exposure to the world’s most lethal infectious disease.
