Owner: “He won’t eat unless we mix ice cream, cheese whiz and crumbled donuts in his food.”
Doctor: “That’s because he has sky-high Leptin levels, it’s an appetite suppressant hormone that Mother Nature developed to keep dogs from eating themselves to death or at least an early grave.”
Doctor: “The override for Leptin is ice cream, cheese whizz and crumbled donuts. Congratulations.”
Doctor: “By the way, I am calling the County to report animal cruelty. You’re crushing this dog’s bones, joints, airway, heart and mobility. His quality of life is just a constant struggle to move and breathe, and that’s on you. “
Doctor: “People ask me if putting pets to sleep is the hardest part of my job. And it’s not.”
“Fact is, letting this dog go home with you to gasp, struggle and ache while you call his difficulties ‘getting old’ when it’s your failure to care. Is the hardest part of my job.”
