1: The li'l Boston dog with the retro-fitted exhaust is doing well, has happily adjusted to being the receptionist's grandkid's puppy :)

No, 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.

One of the other doctors was doing a c-section on a big old mastiff this afternoon, and the first pup he pulled out was gross--covered in green, nasty, breaking-down placenta. It didn't move at all when while he was getting it out, and the tech didn't find a heartbeat, so it went off the table to the bucket. He got the second pup out fine, and was closing the bitch (only 2 pups...weird for such a huge dog), and I came in to see how things were going. I tipped the bucket up to look at the first one...and it's elbow was bouncing. So I sent a tech for some dopram, grabbed a towel and fished her out...we got her breathing and squeaking!

Hopefully she doesn't get pneumonia; we got a lot of really sticky/slimy junk out of her -- gross placenta doesn't make for good lung-juice. (because you needed that image.)
