Here’s a consult for all you vets out there. First let me tell you that I have an appointment to take my dog to the vet tomorrow but thought I’d get some opinions.
History is a 9 y/o F spayed Tibetan with one day of biting and scratching at her posterior and dragging her butt on the ground. Very uncomfortable appearing. No GI symptoms or urinary problems. Here’s the pic

Now, I am extremely pro-choice (I hesitate to bring up the topic of abortion due to the insanely intense feelings people have about it however…) but there are times when I can’t help but be disgusted with people and their choices. I believe elective abortion should be for both defects or abnormalities, or the rare “oops” event when a condom breaks or when you are young and stupid and drunk. I do not believe it should be akin to a chiropractic spinal manipulation – something you when you feel like it. Anyway, that said, the other day I had a woman in her late 30′s who came in with typical first trimester bleeding. No biggie 99% of the time.

I always ask the patient how many times they’ve been pregnant, number of deliveries, miscarriages, abortions, etc. This time the woman said “Well, I have 4 kids. I’ve been pregnant, oh God, let me see, hmmm, about 12-15 times. Some of the those were miscarriages, some were abortions. I can’t remember! I can tell you the last abortion I had was last year. You can call the doctor and he can tell you the exact numbers”.

I had to hold my tongue to not recommend a more “radical” procedure.

Me: “How do you think you got this penile discharge?”

Mr Trobicin: “I have no idea! I’ve only had sex with three hookers in the last few months! And they all told me they were completely clean!”
