Funny Animal Experiences

Recommended Posts

Every animal owner/lover has had at least a dozen funny experiences with their animals.. I have them all the time with my own little babies but there are some truly hilarious moments during my time at the vet's clinic.. So why don't you post some of your funny experiences?Dogs usually know when they are going to get a jab so we resort to many tactics to prevent our patient stressing over his routine injections and not to ruin the relationship you develop with the animal. One time, this particularly loving Labrador by the name of Thomas decided to flee upon seeing the needle in the doctor's hands.. Usually when Thomas or another patient comes by, I distract them, in the case of dogs by calling their name, blowing in their nose or letting them slobber over me while holding their neck collar the entire time...Darling Thomas this time managed to look at the needle from the corner of his eye and bolted out the door with my hand stuck in the neck belt.. And for the sake of convenience I usually go where my hand goes.. So I got dragged from the main O.T a good 6 feet into the lobby before I managed to wedge a leg in a couch and the other into a computer table..My chest helped stop the force known as Thomas when I slammed into part of the couch. Though I admit I could have let go of the belt, there were patients outside and Thomas was not from our part of town so it was risky to let him run out on his own.Another time during mango season, after buying a few dozen mangoes I decided for some reason to feed an oncoming cow a few mangoes from my bag... She was a smart cow :S because she realized the bag was the answer to her problems **shakes head**.. Never before have I seen a cow run so fast, I was really making a run for it with her catching up to me :lol: And this was on a busy street, I think what freaked me out was the fact that we were facing each other during the feed and as I started walking towards home, she turned out really fast and started chasing me...

Wow, I'm sure glad I don't have the problem with my pups getting their shots as you do with dogs in the clinic. I'd be so beat up and busted up I couldn't walk three quarters of the time. I'd just get healed up from vaccinating one litter then I'd have to do another. Seems like I give shots every day around here. Ok, maybe not really that often, but it sure seems like it sometimes.


I did have a very simular cow situation like yours though. And the tip of my index finger on my right hand is still just a tiny bit crooked because of it. We had a very friendly cow we had raised from a calf on a bottle, she would try to sneak up on you and would suck your entire arm up in her mouth if she would get a chance. She was a full grown Jersey heifer by this time. She was following me one day and trying her best to climb into my hip pocket, and since she had grown a pretty nice sharp set of horns I was trying to discourge her so I picked up the only thing I had handy at the time, which was a flat large rib bone, and I swatted her on the horn with it, only problem was my finger tip was between the bone and the horn, busted the end of the finger, it was sitting about a quarter of the way to one side. Made me say many bad words.
