These pics were taken last week during my spay/neuter rotation. This surgery was done on a dog that was in heat. There's a difference in appearance and they're more difficult to perform. I'm doing this rotation at an actual vet hospital, so I was actually really lucky to be able to do one of these, because normally I wouldn't be able to at school.

CheerfulGreek this is the nastiest mess I have ever seen in my life. I'm sick, for real. How do you eat and not think about this?

I'm really upset with my dog. I know she's just being a dog, but this incident this morning is going to be tough to forget about. My son went to let her in the house after her morning romp in the backyard and he yells "There's a dead duck on the deck!" OMG. I don't know if my dog got to this duck and killed it, found it wounded and killed it or just found it dead, but there was a dead duck on the deck, around the spot she usually leaves her toy. So, I tell my son it's time to man up around the house and to get the snow shovel, get his shoes and coat on and pick up the duck with the shovel and dump it over the fence by the creek where it can decompose naturally. (ewwwwwwww) So he says "I'm going to need money for this" and I agree to pay him $5. He says "If it's still alive, I want $10" and I agree. So, he opens the door to the deck and starts to step outside, then backs up and says "I don't think so". I tell him "Man up! You're almost 14, you can handle this!" (sexist, I know, I know...)

So he goes to do it. As he tries to pick it up with the shovel we realize, it is frozen stuck to the deck. He takes the shovel and rams it under the duck, leaving feathers and blood stuck to the deck, frozen there, but the duck slides. At this point, I am freaking out. There are feathers and duck blood FROZEN TO MY DECK!!!!! He dumps the duck over the fence and comes back with the shovel. I tell him I'm giving him $10 for it because of the frozen to the deck part. We stare at the feathers and blood stuck to the deck, trying to figure out what to do about them. I surely don't want the dog messing with them every time she goes outside. I tell my boy to take the welcome mat and put it over the mess. Next time we have a thaw, I'll deal with it.

My son comes back in and sits on the couch. The dog goes over to him and wants to lick him. EWWWWWWWWW. He freaks, pushes her away.

The dog keeps trying to sniff around that area. EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

So incredibly gross.

Dee I'm having such a bad day but your post just made me giggle a little. I've been lucky so far with my dogg that he hasn't brought any "toys" back to the house. My friends dog once brought a oppossum INSIDE the house. Of course she thought it was dead when she tried to get it out but nope it was still alive.

She had a live duck in her mouth once and I made her drop it. Then I had an injured duck hopping around the backyard, apparently unable to fly. I spent hours trying to contact some wild life rescue people but couldn't find one who did ducks. One did small mammals, one did birds, but not water fowl. I finally got the name of one who handled ducks and his line was busy for an hour. My neighbors finally took a huge fishing net and swooped it up and put it over the fence by the creek. It hobbled to the water and swam away. It looked fine swimming.

It was so gross, I swear. And I don't know what I'm going to do when we have a thaw and I have to move that welcome mat. Feathers.. so many feathers, frozen to the deck.. ACK!

This duck, this time, had to already be dead or very injured for my blind, arthritic dog to get ahold of it. They usually scatter as soon as she's let outside. Damn duck.

^^ Ewww that's nasty! I would freak out! My old dog killed a chicken once but I wasn't around when that happened. We just found a pile of feathers the next day. Hmm...

poor little duck

It takes a lot to gross me out when it comes to animals but humans-I can't even change a diaper.

I have a pretty strong stomach when it comes to gore but dealing with someone's poop and piss... ugh. no way. When the time comes, my husband will be on diaper duty. That's how that will work.

had a dystocia last night-chihuahua, luckily with some oxytocin and calcium gluconate she gave birth to her 4 pups but I had poop, blood and placenta everywhere-no problem eating during this

Just another day at work.

Wow, I've never seen any patients experiencing dystocia, but I have heard horror stories about cases with the puppies getting stuck in the canal, not being able to breathe, and dying. I know what you mean about eating as if you've seen nothing, though.

We've got another tumor today (labrador retriever) but we're waiting for another Dr. to help remove it. This one is pretty big. He also has the laser with him, so we can't do the spay/neuter declaws we have either, until he gets here with the machine. I'll post pics of the tumor when we're done.

I worked at an emergency clinic in Chicago and one of the worst dystocias (dystociae?!) I ever saw was a poor mini dachshund momma. She had whelped 1 or 2 puppies at home, and then had continued to be in labor for over 24 hours! We pulled 2 dead pups out of her. One came out in parts, either because it was deformed, or because it was starting to decompose.
The best part? The female owner was pregnant herself! We were all thinking, "Good God, woman! Your dog has been pushing for over a day now, and you just now get her to the hospital?!" "We all wish a horrendous labor for YOU!"
That poor, poor dachsie

Pretty normal because schnoz is Yiddish for nose!

I meant to move the mat that's covering the duck blood and feathers before this snow started, thinking that then, when it finally melted, it would wash away the duck stuff. I forgot. Dangit.
