20+ Pets and Their Owners Who Turned a Visit to the Vet Into a Comedy Show

Vets are heroic people with nerves of steel and a special sense of humor. Not only their patients can’t say where they have pain, but they are also ready to put on a real comedy show!

• Our Pomeranian started having hair problems. We took him to the vet. They said it was because of his diet, that we were feeding him wrong. This dog has a better diet than some people!
  We worked out a menu with the vet. In the end, we found out that it was the grandmother who was secretly feeding the dog. Because “his eyes are so sad.” © My Story / VK
• A friend of mine told the story. She was studying to be a vet and ended up working at an ostrich farm. The birds had to be fed, but there was one thing. If someone is lower than an ostrich, the proud bird will immediately begin to tease the lower “mate.”
  The workers came up with a solution. Before each feeding, they put a mop with a white cloth wrapped around it behind the neck of the robe. This structure was taller than an ostrich, and the feeder instantly became the leader of the flock. © Working Case / VK
• I work as a vet. The other day, a young couple comes to me for an appointment. The girl sits down in the waiting room, and the guy comes to the counter, says hello.
  I ask, “Who are you with?” Without hesitation, he says, “With my wife!” I laughed, and he looked at me with bewilderment.
  Then I asked, “And who are we going to treat?” He finally got it and smiled, “The cat.” © Work Stories / VK

• We have a very sociable and affectionate Scottish Fold at our vet clinic. His hind legs don’t work, so the doctor left him at the clinic instead of putting him to sleep. So, he runs like a sprinter on his front legs.
  They say he likes dogs more than cats. One time I came out of the procedure room and found him and some puppy in my carrier. © AnyankaYa / Pikabu
• Our husky got a sore paw. He, poor thing, was barely walking on 3 legs. I couldn’t figure out what happened to him, so I rushed to the vet.
  A long queue, we’re waiting, and here we are in the vet’s office. The doggy barely enters, I explain that it’s been like this for 3 days. The vet and I lift the dog onto the table for examination.
  At that moment the door opens, my husky jumps down, and on all 4 legs rushes down the corridor. It was a very fast treatment. © Overheard / Ideer
• A vet friend told this story. A man comes to him with a cat and says that it has gained too much weight. The vet examines the cat and announces that it’s pregnant. The owner is indignant and says that the cat stays at home and doesn’t go anywhere.
  Time passes, the man shows up with apologies. The denouement: when no one was at home, some ginger cat regularly came through the window and stole food. He also had an affair with the cat. © Overheard / Ideer

“Big dogs can be scared at the vet too!”

• My daughter’s dog is terrified of vets. I am glad that the dog is hers and not mine, and that it’s she, not I, should be ashamed at the vet time after time.
  One day, we gathered all the animals from the house and went to do vaccinations. 10 minutes of embarrassment, and my daughter comes out with an already vaccinated dog, my husband and I bring the rest. We come out, and see our daughter in the lobby, who’s sitting there and laughing.
  She says that Yoka rushed out of the clinic, breathed from horror and realized that we and the cats were left with these terrible doctors. No-no-no, we don’t abandon our family! And the dog resolutely pulled her back into the clinic. © Elena Marchuk / ADME
• My cat is very kind, affectionate, and lazy. With age, he began to lose teeth. One fang wouldn’t fall out and wouldn’t let him eat in peace.
  Well, in the vet clinic, this lazy cushion ripped up thick mittens for examination, a carrier, and a straitjacket. And anesthesia wasn’t allowed due to his age. The doctor, poor man, heroically pulled out the tooth of this piglet. And on his way home, he was again a calm and affectionate cat. © Daria Kudryashova / ADME
• My cat had a surgery. Naturally, anesthesia, all that stuff. I spoon-fed her, even massaged her back slowly. She kept wobbling, falling over on her side.
  I called the vet, asking why she was taking so long to come round. The vet gave brilliant advice: put her favorite treat and discreetly observe. The kitty made sure I was out and ran to eat. I’ve never seen a more contemptuous face. © Overheard / Ideer
• My dog is seriously ill. Every day we bring her to the drip. And then a “princess” comes into the procedure room. She’s looking for a doctor to vaccinate her cat. The vet took her by the hand, led her to another room, purring something in her ear, and she chirped about the poor cat.
  A couple of minutes later, there’s screaming and shouting from the room. And the nurse brings this girl with scratches into the procedure room. While her scratches were being treated, she was swearing and asking the vet if neutering would calm down her little demon. She turned out to be a normal girl. © Elena Marchuk / ADME

“My cat won’t come out of his carrier at the clinic.”

• Our puppy had to be pulled away from the vet’s face at the checkup — he kissed him non-stop. Every time he came into the clinic, he wagged his tail intensely and gave kisses, even though he knew they did unpleasant things there.
  He’s still a sweet little chap. He’s wiser now, though. I have to carry him to the vet or even drag him in. © I_write to you / ADME
• My cat absolutely loves our vets, and they love him too. One day we left him at the clinic for an X-ray. I then found out that he’d tried to overtake their large dog kennel, was kicked out because a big dog came in and still didn’t understand that he couldn’t go in there!
  Also, he attacked the receptionist’s pencil case and shouted at people until they stroked him. Ignoring was not an option. © Sirenskye / Reddit
• Our older Labrador got a nosebleed after an evening walk. My husband, son and I freaked out and took him to the 24-hour vet. The doctor was calming us down while putting a shot to the dog and washing his nose with some solution.
  And in the neighboring office, some noise and tools falling are being heard. Suddenly a white cat flies out of there, drifting across the tiled floor. A doctor with a syringe runs after him, shouting, “Yogurt, stop!”
  And here our dog quieted down for some reason and gave calmly to wash his nose, the blood stopped, everyone exhaled. Thank you, Yogurt, for defusing the situation with your epic escape, good health to you! And our old man is fine, the doctor said it was just his blood pressure going up. © MariaYu / Pikabu

• The cat had intestinal problems. We took him to the vet who gave him shots, but because of this the cat didn’t go to the litter box for 3 days. I bought him Vaseline oil.
  I never thought that I will laugh and run around the flat, and then call my husband and mom, crying, “He did it! He went to the toilet!” I’m afraid of what will happen when we have a baby. © Overheard / Ideer
• I was told that the cat should not eat 12 hours before the appointment and not drink and go to the toilet 4 hours before the appointment. How to deal with “not eating” and “not drinking” is understandable, even though the cat resented it.
  The last requirement, on the other hand, confused us so much that we went to another vet. © LazurnoeDno / Pikabu
• My cat is sweet as sugar at home, but turns into Linda Blair from The Exorcist at the vet. The first thing she does is take a dump on the table. Not on purpose, she’s so traumatized the poop falls out of her.
  She’s hissing and growling, the vet asks me if I want to hold her. I say no, and I advise the vet to put on some heavy-duty gloves. My cat then proceeds to scratch and bite the vet in a fit of fury.
  You know, the reminder postcards the vet sends out to let you know when it’s time for a checkup? I never get those. © Eiffel-Tower777 / Reddit

“My cat is great at hiding at the vet’s.”

• One day, at about 3 a.m., a girl came running in with a box, from which something was screaming. Through her tears, she was asking me to help her male cat.
  I looked at the “martyr” and escorted the owner out of the office. And 20 minutes later, the British “male cat” gave birth to 2 wonderful kittens. © Overheard / Ideer
• The cat had dermatitis. We had to go for injections 3 times.
  The first time he screamed, lashed out, hissed. The doctor wrapped him in a towel to give him a shot. The second time, my husband drove him, and according to him, the cat didn’t even meow once.
  The third time, it was me again. As soon as we entered the room, the cat started hissing and lashing out so that the doctor, the nurse and I couldn’t hold him back. 40 minutes after the injection, we managed to get the cat into the carrier. The doctor said, “Let your husband bring the cat next time, he is crazy with you.” © Kateryna Karpyuk / ADME
• Once we needed to weigh our cat. We enter the vet’s office where the scales are, and there was a huge Great Dane sitting with the owner and 2 vets. Everyone is in a panic, thinking that now my cat is going to get hurt.
  But they didn’t know that this young lady weighing 4 pounds knows how to keep dogs in line. In the end, the owner had to hold the dog in his arms until we took the cat out of the office. Everyone was laughing, of course, except the poor dog. © Oksana Shakirova / ADME

“Went to the toilet in the sink during his first visit to the vet.”

• I’m a pediatrician. An 8-year-old boy and his mother come to an appointment. The patient reports fatigue and lack of appetite. The little boy asked his mother to leave, saying he’s an adult and will talk to the doctor himself, and then suddenly pulls out a hamster from his pocket!
  It turns out that it is the hamster who hasn’t eaten for 3 days — since he has been living in a box under the boy’s bed. The pet was given to him by a friend. He didn’t tell his mom, as animals in the house were forbidden.
  We talked to the mom. She promised to keep the hamster and take him to the vet. Although, I suspect that he didn’t eat just because of stress. Imagine sitting in a dark box for 3 days. © Work Stories / VK
• I call the vet from work, “Do you have rabies vaccine?” Yes, great. My conversation was heard by the whole team.
  Then the boss comes in, and I shout to him, “That’s it, I’ve made an appointment, we’re leaving in an hour.” Silence, and then an explosion of laughter. The thing is that the boss’s car was being repaired, and I promised to give him a lift, and at the same time to take my dog for vaccination. © Work Stories / VK
• Our cat is 20 years old, and for the last 7 years she’s been constantly shrieking in a crazy voice. We took her to the vets. We thought she was deaf and didn’t realize she was meowing very loudly, until we were told she just liked the sound of her voice. Her hearing was fine. © My Story / VK

And here’s the story of a sick kitten who was dumped in a vet clinic. Check out what happened to it next.
