Anybody just want to post about their day- at work, at home and in between. The good, the bad, and the ugly- anything that's on your mind? Maybe we can get more veterinarians involved in this group :)
Funny stories from work?
I had a little old lady who brought in her dog for "tick removal". She had been trying all day to pull the tick with tweezer and just couldn't get it off and now her dog was acting as if she was in pain. It was a nipple. Ouch! I had a lady bring her 8 year old female spayed lab in for "check mass". She described it as…
What does telemedicine mean to you?
