Today was a sad day at vet school. it was surgery day for me. i dont know if all of you know, but these dogs dont get to wake up... so we have to go out there and pick which one we want. one of my classmates went early to pick her dog to go weigh it so she could figure out the anesthesia medications before we had to start our procedures. there was a 4th year student (im 3rd) who was in clinics on his surgery rotation, and he saw the dog and said "hey thats my dog!" my classmate thought he was joking, and he said "no serious, my dog ran away three weeks ago!" it is amazing how lucky he and that dog are. just an hour away from being operated on then put to sleep. the miracle that he happened to be on that rotation, and that my classmate went in to weight it early. i still cant believe this happened! i was almost in tears after we picked out our dog b/c she was so young and cute, but after hearing that i almost started balling....so at least one dog had a happy ending today.
the reason why i am sharing this with all of you to show the importance of when your dog is lost, call the shelter everyday and dont give up....also microchip your pets. if that dog had a microchip this would have never happened. thanks for reading.
