draggonlaadyNo, really, I do.
Today I got to do a c-section on a mastiff with a uterine torsion. Had a total "what the fuck?" moment when I opened her up and things were all in weird places, but got it straightened out and retrieved the pups. Sadly, only one of the 4 within the twisted section were viable, but she'd already had 8 live pups before presentation, so still ended up with a sizable litter to care for.
This, by the way, is the same breeder as was mentioned earlier, when I fished the pup out of the trash. That pup is doing good, bosses her littermate around and growing like mad. Owner asked me today for my permission to name the pup after me. I have my first name-sake!
AND. Remember Beeotch, with the chihuahua? I found out today that not only did she argue about paying the whole bill for boarding, she cussed out my tech for it. ("Goddamnit, I just want my fucking dog back! All this shit over some stupid goddamn money!" and other such comments, directed also at the other clients in the lobby.) So I gave my receptionist official permission to "fire" her, and to tell her why. I don't work for people who abuse my staff. If she can't figure out how to speak civilly to my techs and receptionist, she can find her stoned butt a new doctor, because I won't tolerate it.
