Medical Professionals Share Their Most Ridiculous Encounters With Dumb Patients

13. DOGS ARE ROBOTS THAT WILL SELF-DESTRUCT AT THE DROP OF A HAT, RIGHT?

I worked at a veterinary clinic, so about 70% of the clients (and their “breeders”) think they are smarter than I am when it comes to their beloved pets. My favorite though will always be the girl who had an Alaskan Malamute she had gotten from a breeder; must have been about 2 years old.

They came in for annual wellness check up and vaccines. She needed to know how many rabies shots the dog had received previously (only one at this point) because her breeder told her that if the dog got more than two rabies vaccines in its life it would die.

This, of course, is ridiculous because rabies vaccines are meant to be given regularly throughout a dog’s life (every 1-3 years depending on the vaccine). But she was adamant that the dog could not have another vaccine after this visit because he would apparently immediately die.
