This one's purty nasty...just to warn you.

This family brings in a dog last Saturday who hadn't been eating or drinking for a few days. Eventually we found out there was a blockage and then the dog started vomiting so we went into surgery at closing time on Monday. I stuck around pretty much to watch but also to tell the owners how it went.

So Doc opens him up and finds all this nasty intestinal tract that's black and rotten like it has been blocked for a while. She had to cut out like 3 feet of it to get all the bad stuff out of there. Then Kayla opened up the removed intestines to see what was in there...turns out it was this big pair of women's underwear. The owner thought it was funny that the dog liked to eat underwear. I'm not even going to ask. BUT I will say that when Kayla pulled it out, it was literally THE WORST smell I can ever remember smelling.

And after all that (we didn't get out till almost 9:00 PM), Erin came in the next morning and...(drumroll) he hadn't made it through the night. Poor little guy.

Please people...underwear is to food as shoestring is to parachute. I have drawn a picture to illustrate.


See what I mean?
