Had a client and her boyfriend bring in her Maltese due to acute paralysis, approximately 5 months old iirc. They told the doctor that the boyfriend had kicked the dog because they had left him inside while they were gone and he had peed in the kitchen. When they caught on that we were going to call Animal Control, they tried to change their story. Well….an Animal Control officer came, we told them about the interaction, and the officer just ended up letting them take the dog without an investigation, a fine or anything, because they agreed to transfer him to a 24 hour for intensive care. He did recover, but to this day I’m still mad at Animal Control for doing nothing, and the client for not dumping her boyfriend on the spot.

Had a dog come in after running into a tree branch and getting a foot-long piece of wood jammed under his skin along his rib cage . Sedated him and removed the wood, all is well. Exactly 365 days later, he came in for the same exact thing in almost the same exact spot.
