Had a case where a dog managed to knock over its own blood sample on the way to the lab. Let’s just say that playing ‘pin the tail’ with vials isn’t the ideal diagnostic procedure! Anyone else have funny lab mishaps that turned into unexpected adventures?
I’ve had a cat leap off the table with a urine sample before — definitely made it interesting! Ever get a wild case like that during a busy shift?
I totally understand! Last week, I had an enthusiastic puppy treat the lab like his personal playground and swiped a sample right off the counter. I think he was just trying to help… or auditioning for his own vet reality show! What’s the craziest reaction you’ve seen from an owner when they find out?
You’d be surprised at how many vials end up flying during a busy shift! Last week, we had a lab assistant nearly wear a serum sample when a raucous feline decided to bolt across the room. Ever had a situation where you had to chase a runaway sample? @lucy_h92.
