Would you trust that vet after this happened?
I just assumed he didn’t want the dog and had to kill it himself. Such a heartwarming story. lol.
“Would you trust that vet after this happened?”
Actually, that reminds me of one of my favorite Herriot stories. He was treating an animal at a farm & noticed a sheep in distress. He wanted to go take a look at it, but the farmer didn’t want another bill & said the sheep would just have to take its chances. The farmer walked away for a short time, so Herriot took his chance to administer what he thought was a lethal dose to put it down & then left.
Some time later he was back on the same farm & asked the guy about the sheep. He said it was the strangest thing, the sheep went to sleep for three days & then woke up fine & dandy. Herriot took from that experience that sometimes animals just need relief from the stress of pain to be able to recover. Pretty cool!
A man takes his dog to the vet and says, “Doc, I want you to put my dog to sleep”. The vet get a syringe and gives the dog a shot, dog immediately slumps over dead. The man wraps him in a blanket and says “Do you think he will stay asleep until I get to Abiline where my son lives? This dog really hates to ride in the car”. (I;ll admit it isn't a very funny joke, it is veterinary humor)
