From Not Always Right: Mom Did Not Paws To Think About It
CONTENT WARNING: Pet Injury
I work for an overnight emergency veterinarian. A parent and her kids bring in a hamster late one night. The poor little fluff ball had hidden behind a heater and got burned on all four paws. The kids are besides themselves, so mom steps up to get their pet help.
The vet performs her exam and, once given approval, begins treatment and gives a prescription for amoxicillin to help fend off infection while the paws heal.
Any emergency visit is expensive. The mom has some understandable trepidation at a medical bill being in the neighborhood of $100 for the care of a hamster. She takes a breath and looks at her kids who are finally reassured that their pet will be better soon.
Mom: “While I can’t believe I’m spending so much on a hamster, what I really want is for my kids to learn responsibility towards creatures that depend on them.”
The vet and I reassured her that she was being a very good mom.
It may not be the Big (Foot) story they thought it would be – but they’re not going to just brush it off. However, to be sure he’s telling the truth, they would like to see him brush himself off. After all, that is a lot of fur … so they continue the interview, “How many cats do you have?”
