ABSTRACT

It’s 2AM and you have just finished a gastropexy on a standard poodle that is now experiencing ventricular premature contractions. The diabetic cat that has insulin overdose is beginning to twitch and there is a male orange-and-white cat waiting to have its urethra unblocked. Your technician relays to you that there are four different animals on their way in to see you: two hit by cars, one near drowning, and one big dog-little dog fight. Your catecholamines are at an all-time high. This is why you love your work!
