I saw a designer breed yesterday at work. Her owner flew to Arkansas (from NE Alabama), paid over $2,000 for the dog -- a Maltipoo -- and has been coming to the clinic for just a few months...her file is already 3 times as thick as those who have been regulars for over a year. Her most recent -- a referral to an orthopedic vet because of a deformity in her right hip. Amongst many other problems.
To top it off, a schnauzer/poodle...was is that, a Scnoodle? came in after hours, must have eaten something like rat poison, because she was almost dead. But anyways, she's fine now, but her owner wants to breed her, even though we found out she has a plethora of things wrong with her, specifically the LIVER DISEASE that caused her to get so sick in the first place. We sent her home with some literature on breeding, I'm only praying it will open her eyes.
Some people you just want to slap across the face a few times, you know?
