When a Veterinary Client Goes a Tick Too Far in The Exam Room…

June 5, 2016 by Andy Roark DVM MS

Clients rely on veterinarians and vet techs to teach them how to care for their pets. One day, @KatieJohn173 discovered that some pet owners might need slightly more personal advice.

A client asked me to show her how to remove a tick.

I went to grab the tick twister and show her.

(W)hen I returned, she had pulled her pants down and had exposed HER inner thigh.

I politely asked her to put her pants back on, and showed her how to remove a tick… from her dog.

via GIPHY
 

What’s the strangest thing a pet owner has asked you to do?
