literally. it was a zoo in Sea Gate Veterinary Hostpital. yesterday. it was ridiculous! we had about a half hours peace from 9-930, then the ruckus began. people began pouring in. we didnt have enough chairs even. people were squatting with their animals on the ugly tile floor. (we can only hope that whoever worked on friday cleaned the floors well!)
a turtle came in, who had been in a fight with another turtle (yes, turtles fight) and the owner was getting ready to bury it that morning when he saw that it moved..it was bad. we put him down at the end of the day...you could see his lung from where he was wounded, by his head. it was bad. and smelled terrible. turtles dying? is gross. we had two minpins come in too, who swore that it was just a quick check over...and ended up being the BANE of my existence. one of them, the one who wouldnt SHUT UP, had sliced the skin of his paw off somehow...and he was having difficulty putting is manliness back where it was supposed to be. neither of them were neutered. so they,uh, play around a lot. and dr chang explained this in detail to the client. (ps. FIX YOUR FREAKING ANIMALS, PEOPLE) the other one was throwing up, not eating, had diarrhea (which was literally: poopy smelling water) and would not be still or shut up.(and it got it's waterpoo on my boob. soaked through the scrubs and everything.) and then a seizure patient came in who had had two more seizures last night. and then two turtles came in for prehibernation check ups. and then a golden with a really bad ear problem came in..ear hematoma. surgery to be scheduled. and then a guy with a black cat came in--he was holding the cat. NEVER bring a cat into a veterinarian's office without a carrier. it ONLY causes problems. (same thing goes for a dog without a leash. then a lab with another ear problem came in. then a cat, for vaccinations. oh and we had some guinea pigs too. they scream soooo loud. we gave them shots. weird, huh?
and all of this was supposed to be squeezed in from the hours of 9-1. but it ended up being 930-230. with no breaks. and stupid people. and headache animals. and dying turtles.
needless to say, it was a longggg day.

oh becca! im so sorry! & we did do the floors well on friday! :) you always get the good cases though, i've never seen a turtle pts-so im like 34% jealous of that..but im sooo not jealous of your diarrhea dog. :(
i'll try to keep next saturday's craziness at a minimum. :)
And I felt bad about not holding my cat to get its second booster shot... I feel a lot better! I at least did everything else right- carrier, not waiting until its sick, ect...
i spoke too early, btw. ginger schwartz came in & dirrheaed twice. oh and cookie immamura came in & FLOODED the back cage with pee. it was dripping out of the cage and all the newspaper was soaked. i've never seen so much pee come out of a dog in my life. barf.
