This is an old tale from my early years as a Veterinarian. I was in my first job, and the senior vet who mentored me was not a patient woman. She was a good vet, compassionate, clever and understanding, but she would always call a spade a spade, and if something was shit she wouldn’t call it fertilizer.

We had a patient in hospital that had a number of medical issues. To summarize, this middle aged dog:

• Had been clipped 3 years ago and the fur never grew back
• Was owned by a human physician and nurse who honestly believed dog fur didn’t grow back after it was cut in their special breed
• Was subsequently diagnosed with hypothyroidism
• Was obese, and getting lots of human food and ‘home remedies’
• Had stopped eating, then defecating, three days ago.

When he came to us he was quickly diagnosed with a severe case of pancreatitis, which for those readers who don’t know is potentially life threatening and is often triggered by fatty food in dogs. The senior vet had been trying to explain this to his owners, medical people themselves who should have a basic level of understanding, and I saw her storming out of the consult room they were visiting their dog in. She was shaking her head and looked about ready to scream.

“They just don’t get it. They just don’t. The silly woman just thinks he’s constipated and wants to take him home. She’s been force feeding him olive oil for the last three days! They don’t understand that he could die. I can’t deal with them anymore,” she said.

“That’s ok,” I replied, “Give me his blood results and I’ll give it a go.”

Solid read. Gave ur blog a follow, but…

WHY OLIVE OIL!? I DONT UNDERSTAND SOMEONE PLS EXPLAIN 😲

Because it’s an old wives tale that feeding oil will relieve constipation.

Only feeding fat will worsen pancreatitis.

And this dog had pancreatitis, not constipation.

GIMME YOUR KETHXMATT HEADCANONS CAUSE THIS SHIP IS ALL I WANNA WRITE ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

WITH PLEASURE

• they totally knew each other pre-kerberos, having met through shiro probably
  
• losing both matt AND shiro on the kerberos mission would have destroyed keith jfc
• they speak only in snark
• related: keith can be really blunt at times and it can reduce matt to a flustered mess
• also related: matt doesn’t like to talk about his feelings straight on. it causes some contention at first until keith learns that matt expresses affection other ways
• like cuddling. matt is hardcore into cuddling. (keith likes it)
• alien conspiracy theories pre-kerberos
• alien conspiracy theories post-kerberos, except more specific and detailed now that they know Aliens Are Real
• Shiro Protection Squad™
• matt is a horrible prankster and somehow always convinces keith to help. no one ever believes keith was involved though so matt ends up with all the blame

post kerberos matt is a tired stressed bean, and he likes to sit with keith in red’s hangar while Keith sharpens his knife and cleans his bayard and just be, sometimes he’ll take a nap, sometimes they’ll talk quietly

that the best thing about their relationship, at the end of the day they don’t have to keep up constant conversation, they can just exist side by side and be content. they dont get exhausted by being around each other.

at this point i feel sorry for people who make these elaborate beautiful deadly sin representations because like if your lust is a partially unclothed lady with her tits out im basically already bored
