Mrs Green: "Jimmy has been vomiting for 2 days, and he hasn't touched any food for over 72 hours. He eats things all the time that he shouldn't. His belly really hurts him, and he cries when you touch it." (All this said of a Labrador that looks bouncy and vibrant).
My colleague: "You're sure he's eaten nothing at all? He's vomited copiously for 2 days?"
Mrs Green: "Oh yes, I just know he has something stuck."

Mrs Green at 3am post-operatively: "Oh well, yes, he did eat all the chicken we fed him today, but absolutely NOTHING ELSE."
My colleague: Speechless.
