Work at A Vet Clinic? These Strange Things Are Likely in Your Purse

As a veterinary professional, you encounter a lot of strange, gross and obscure things throughout your work day. That’s all a normal part of the job… until you bring something interesting home with you. We asked the @DrAndyRoark Instagram followers to share the weirdest thing they’ve found in their scrub pockets or purse.

1. Poop. A lot of poop.

2. Rotten teeth

via GIPHY“@dandaninator17: I was at a 7/11 after work when I found a bag of rotten teeth we removed earlier that day.”

3. Syringes, syringes and more syringes

via GIPHY“@frenchiegusgus: When I moved there were a number of needles and syringes hiding under my dresser. I would empty my scrub pockets when I got home and they’d fall in behind there.”

4. Bones & body parts

“@dianed83: During vet school found a distal phalanx including the nail from a classmates’ bone box.”
