The obese Dalmatian

Something that was really amusing happened in the clinic last night. An extremely obese male dalmatian presented to us last night. I have never seen a dalmatian with that kind of body score. I was really dumbfounded and I couldnt stop myself from saying "Oh, my God". Funny thing was when one of the client saw the dog, she asked me "Is that a cow?"
The dalmatian is 50kg. His normal diet are chicken, pork and rice. He is basically confined and apparently no exercise also.
Fortunately I brought my camera and took a few shots of the dog. Let's take a look.

Prank calls

I have got four emergency cases last week but three was prank cases and the fourth one was dog died on the way to the clinic.All happened in different nights.
First case was the owner couldn't wait for the vet(that's me) to turn up in 20 minutes time. Luckily I was still at home but right after the first case I received another call saying that the owner would turn up in a few minutes time. Without much delay I drove to clinic and arrived in about 15 minutes(speeding actually). I love to drive in the night where the highway is clear. Anyway, after I reached clinic the owner was not there yet. Then,the boy called the owner and told him that she couldn't make it to come. I was like "what the f**k!"
I was late for the third case . 10 minutes late. I was caught in the jam. I did inform the owner about the delay. Owner left the clinic silently without informing the boy. Another prank case. It was so surprised that the owner sent an apology letter and paid for the emergency charges the next day.
In the end of the day, I realised that I don't have any emergency case last week.
