People who are shock at your excitement only show how much they love their pets because in their mind what they are just doing is the bare minimum of caring for a a animal.

This made me laugh, as a former EMT-P The bit about IVs…accurate.

Love the differences in the cat and dogs names, and it's even funnier because it's so accurate.

"descendant of WOLVES you said?" yup my heart sunk the second that phrase was uttered. oh boy... still have no clue how the gently break that one to people the birth date one....I'm in that picture and I dont like it (cat owner)

not Bella being the shifty "I dont wanna be here so im making this 10x more difficult" dog

Ah yes, the good 'ol CDS (Cat Distribution System) ours showed up on the eve of thanksgiving with a broken leg Her name is Turkey and she's a gorgeous princess.

Married to a veterinary technician. I now regularly ask him what room the next triage is in.

On a regular basis my partner watches me pleading and arguing with the cats and mocks. It's nice to know I'm in such esteemed company

I was adopting a adult Siamese cat. My first sight of her was as I was pulling up at the house. This glorious looking cat, was standing on a pillar, hissing at a German shepherd that was on the street. Next sight was a screaming dog racing down the street, with a cat attached to it's face. Owner hadn't been able to find the cat that I went to see. Yes. It was ("the cat!). LOL. She doddled back, proud and introduced herself to me. Purring! I took her home. Had her for 8 years. Should have heard OUR conversations! I swore at her, she swore at me, but we never had a fight. Ever.😊

I don’t understand how you’re not more popular. You’re awesome!

My parents named our cat Minion because “cats are the devils minions”…

watching this with two fingers wrapped for trying to give my cat his meds

Love Muttzarella!

"But but but he was born in America!!"😅😅😅 Omg actually thought the owner didn't know the breed!

We gotta talk about the cat names lol “taco seasoning” “brisket eater” lol. It’s so true though, pick a random object and name your cat that

Ugh the kidney failure one. It always breaks my heart when it’s an old cat in severe kidney failure and the owners choose to prolong suffering. I understand not being ready to let go but it’s often the kindest thing to do.

Doc, love your vids but please look into a Bluetooth microphone to put on your shirt. I have to turn the volume way up and then forget to turn it down so the next vid scares the crap outta my Shit Tzu. 🙀

I wish I could share the hilarious quips that get said at my TNR office on spay/neuter clinic days 😂 we all still coo at the angry ferals at the end of the day

1:15 - From personal experience: No, they don't.

I helped local wild life shelter and bain of my existence for that week was one big grey seagull. Storm thrown it into glass wall of the bus stop and this idiot got head trauma. Every time when I lifted curtain from it’s cage, damned bird fought for it’s life. It wanted to kill me or die trying. Got some nasty bruises through 2 pairs of gloves. Still that cage must be cleaned and food and water be provided. So from day 2 that beast was my last task for a day. Thick gloves for welding, protection glasses, cardboard box and tenderness of SWAT team. I do this fast or damn idiot will hit itself bloody while trying to escape. I swore at bird the whole time it wasn't in the box.

This is spot on. My cats will go from chill to Jack the Ripper if the mood strikes them. Those are the moments I'm glad I am a 6ft tall human. And even then, I'm still not 100% sure I'm safe, lol.

...Do you have *any* idea how much some of your expressions mirror Jim Carrey's? Like, any?

I had a large ginger and white cat called Tormund Rodents’ Bane Breaker of Mice.

I love Mrs Nesbitt. 😂

😂

Bless the Cat Distribution System. My dad didn't like cats but for my 8th birthday he found a litter of kittens abandoned in a garage in the middle of winter and brought one home for me. I loved that cat so much; he was my best friend.

Hopsital

Last time I took my dog to the vet, she started screaming before they even stuck the needle in and I was laughing because she was being such a drama queen. Pretty typical for a yorkie tho!

When you buy potions 🧪 and use them? 😊

We have four pups, three names are Normal/boring. Leonardo DaVinci, short Vinci, because the first night home he stole mom's MonaLisa Plushie from the Louvre and wouldn't give it up. Ana, elvish for Present (because she is). Karl, called Charlie, because mom wanted a German name and likes the peanuts. And Sunny-side-Up, she has some marks on her belly, that look like a smiley face 😊, so the Sunny side up, when she gets on her back.

Thank you God that i figured out the cat that my children adopted wasn't a pet house cat

Hilarious. Also I fuss at my cat owner friends who don’t take theirs for check ups. We took one of ours this morning. I want him to have a good life with good health.

Trust me, humans aren't much smarter with their own written information, much less their pets'. Worked for an opthalmologist who offered the predecessor of LASIK. One of his patients was a smart lady, actually a friend of mine outside the practice. "J I'd like to make an appointment with Dr C. I'm needing reading glasses, and I didn't have RK (nearsightedness surgery now in dustbin of history) to need reading glasses." This lady was then in her 40s and I was sitting with her seminar evaluation in my hand. "You're a good candidate for R K, but as a patient over 40 will need glasses to read." A fellow worker at a different business confided to me some problems with her nurse daughter on bc pills. She needed some emergency care, and whined "They don't tell you about that". I've used the product, and all potential complications are listed with written information that comes with it. The trick is to read it and not mindlessly throw it in the trash. Great video!

😆😂😅😊 Best laugh I've had all day!

😂

Always got my furbabies from street or shelter, so it ± 6 month, yeah (except for those who are ±6 years)

My aggressive, skittish cat (around other people and animals, loud noises, etc) turned into a statue during checkups at the vet, big round fearful eyes, stiff legs, only moving to slink behind a trashcan on one occasion, he looked pathetic. I think it was the smell of dog or something that had him spooked, in Fight/Flight/Freeze he chose Freeze. But, when we brought him in for an actual health concern that final time, he chose Fight and was a raging demon. That's part of how we knew his health was bad, but the tech and vet handled it so well, while I was horrified at his behaviour. I only knew something was up due to his litter box habits changing, hoping it was something minor, only had him for another 4 months on palliative care.

I remeber i had a friend that named his pugs blackie chan and fat bastard 😂😂😂

Also for photos... Light! You need light! I swear some of these people only have 3 lava lamps and a string of twinkle lights in their entire house.

Our fat beagle is Fatsy cline

I think another aspect that would make life easier for critical care and emergency vets is clients who understand when the patient is too far gone. Last week, we found out our 13 year old cat had a severe lung infection and a mass in his stomach. My husband wanted to try treatments, but I spoke with the vet treating him and saw the x-rays and made the right call for my baby boy. He wasn't able to breathe comfortably without oxygen and he wasn't eating. I sat and talked to my husband about thw reality of how much pain he was in and we did the best thing for my cat. It hurt more than anything, but it was a no-win situation.

My previous veterinarian had only evening consultation hours and worked with a first come, first served system. I came in while there were easily 5 people before me, and then realised they were dealing with a cat that'd been hit by a car as well. My cat (chronic allergies and medication) really needed a check up, but I've never seen a veterinarians assistant look so grateful as when I said: "I live about a minute's walk away, how about my cat and I wait at home, and get back when you call me?" I think they called me about 1.5-2 hours past consultation hours.

I initially read this as vegetarians and was very comfused as to what the correlation is

I don't have a smartphone. 😕 How do you even get the animal to hold still long enough to get a picture?

My cat as only ever been to the vet when she was just a few months old to get spayed. 10 years later I'm now 24 with a job and with money to finally take her to the vet. She in perfect condition except with some buildup on her teeth and she's finally vaccinated. She does have a bit of a heart murmur but with her second visit it was less so we're thinking it's because of high anxiety levels since again she's only been to the vet 2 times.

Gabapentin for the win! Fear-free meds for vet visits and other stressful events changed my kitty's lives. (They were not aggressive but they peed all over themselves and exhibited so many signs of stress and avoidance reactions, it was so sad. Now I just have to make sure they don't know I'm about to pill them.)

In my families experience, getting pet insurance was kind of a scam and it was better just to put the amount we spend on insurance each month into a separate account.

I had to make that decision twice within 4 weeks. It was hard, but I didn't want them to suffer.

To be honest for larger practices Client Emotional Support Staff might be very useful, for example a staff member with a psychology b.s. that can handle confused owners or greiving owners while the medical staff does the important stuff.
