Resurection Friday...
A client of ours calls up close to 1 pm and says he's on his way with his dog, a biggle dog, that got caught in a beaver snare and is going to be a DOA and he wants cremation. My front office crew check with me to see if its okay since we close from 1-2 for lunch, catch up on call backs, chart review/write up and lab review etc. Of course, bring him on in. No problem.
So dude had gone down to the water and removed the snare. It was around the biggle dogs neck and he had his left front foot stuck up in there too. Owner removes the snare and the biggle is purple, not breathing, dish ragged. So he puts the dog in the back of the truck as a DOA and heads out way and then makes the above referenced phone call.
Owner pulls up in the parking lot and gets out of his truck and walks around to carry his dead biggle into the clinic. Instead of a purple dish ragged dead dog he finds a very much alive biggle standing in the truck bed. Now he's not real sporty and active mind you, but very much alive and well. He brings the dog in and we give it the ol once over. A little sore around the neck area, left front foot swollen and sore from the snare as well. But the lungs are clear. No signs of asphyxiation in the eyes or mouth and no blood in the ears. All good to go. So I hit him with some feel good meds, declared him fit for travel and discharged said biggle back to his extremely happy owner.
Point of the story?
You want your dog fixed? Just chuck it in the back of a long bed ford and pull in the parking lot. The rest handles itself. #PineStreetAF, Bo.
