Such wretched little creatures, but I guess I can see how people think they're cute. Guessing they'll be back for soft palate resection at some point. At least the clients seem dedicated.<br /><br />I saw my favorite Shar pei clients when I was working as a technician before vet school. They bought 2 puppies -- brother and sister -- and were flabbergasted at the idea that (a) such adorable puppies could already have health problems, and (b) they'd need to spay and/or neuter their new darlings ("What? But they're brother and sister! They wouldn't breed together!..... Would they??")BSDVM12https://www.blogger.com/profile/16444673637528185304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212251348411401170.post-41400464682787127852011-05-20T15:06:25.016-04:002011-05-20T15:06:25.016-04:00"Had the owner but typed in "SharPei&quo..."Had the owner but typed in "SharPei" in Google, this could have all been avoided!"<br /><br />Have been having the same thoughts lately about birds being surrendered to the rescue.<br /><br />Really? Your 5 year old severe macaw only likes one person now and attacks? Your 5 year old scarlet macaw is extremely bonded to you and attacks your son? Shocking!<br /><br />I am amazed at the lack of research some people do before bringing an animal home. Or are they only hearing what they want to and thinking things will be different for them?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645791926538907697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9212251348411401170.post-173708846107429012011-05-19T13:12:25.467-04:002011-05-19T13:12:25.467-04:00plus they aren't the friendliest of breeds. a...plus they aren't the friendliest of breeds. a little sketchy.TabbyKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161186985525069874noreply@blogger.com
