Introduction to 'Spill the Kibble'
00:00:01
Speaker
You're listening to Spill the Kibble, the podcast where I read your submitted stories and have real veterinarians react to them. If you are interested in sharing your clinic story, email us at spill at spill the kibble.com.
00:00:19
Speaker
Please note that this show is not suitable for all listeners. Listener discretion is advised. And with that, let's go to the show.
Meet the Hosts: Kel, Dr. G, and Dr. M
00:00:29
Speaker
Welcome to Spill the Kibble. I'm Kel.
00:00:32
Speaker
Oh, I was looking at something up. I'm Dr. G. And I'm Dr. M, focused and ready. And we're here to tell your clinic stories. But first, how are y'all doing?
00:00:44
Speaker
What are we up to? What are we looking up? I was looking up the word, i they
Game Time: 'Date Everything'
00:00:51
Speaker
say it. So you two troublemakers had encouraged me to try a game called Date Everything.
00:00:58
Speaker
And I did. called Dr. M on the way to work the other morning asking if I was going to sabotage any relationships. Anyway, I was trying to look up the word where it's basically the whole concept of it, where you are looking at items as things, people.
00:01:18
Speaker
Anthropomorphic? That's animals. It's a more Japanese word, I believe. But oh i decided the very worst time to look it up was right before you started. Well, not necessarily. Isn't there like a contest where people dress up as inanimate humanoid objects?
00:01:36
Speaker
This is Earth. There must be. It has to be. sounds fun. probably that word. But we've played a bunch of that
Clinic Items: Love, Like, or Hate?
00:01:45
Speaker
the last couple of days. But my big question was, if you could fall in love with an item in the hospital, what do we love?
00:01:53
Speaker
What do we want to be friends with? And who do we hate? Got it. OK. OK. Right off the bat, love and a bear hugger. Wow. Hot, pillowy.
00:02:06
Speaker
Just a comfortable, like, sweet, warm hug anytime you want. ah For the listeners that may not know, a bear hugger is hey name brand um tool used during anesthetic events or, like, when patients are under general anesthesia to keep them warm.
00:02:23
Speaker
And it's a nice little air-filled, like, heated blanket situation. It's very nice. Very cozy. You want to get quick and you can MacGyver it and just duct tape a pillowcase on the end.
00:02:34
Speaker
Or you can do the real fancy ones. I only go for the real ah real deal. Oh, do love that. That's who love. Who do I like? You know what? I like my calipers.
00:02:46
Speaker
Reliable. You know, when I need them, they're right there. The accuracy, it's steady. It's rock solid. I like my calibers. And I hate...
00:03:01
Speaker
Well, I hate. Hate's hard. So many things are so helpful. I hate leftover paper records. Okay. All right. That's fair. Big old cabinet, all those stickers on the side.
00:03:14
Speaker
I hate a urine or fecal sample drop off that they got a little loosey goosey with pouring it in. Woof. The sloppy sample.
00:03:25
Speaker
A sloppy sample. I hate a sloppy sample. So love a bear hugger like a caliber. Hate a sloppy sample. Those are mine. What about you? I wanted to know what Kells was because I am not thinking about my lines.
00:03:38
Speaker
It's been a while. At a clinic? Gosh, yeah. I think I'll start with hate. Easy. Her first hand. Probably the phones.
00:03:51
Speaker
Fair. Because I just... it That was annoying to have to answer phone even though it was my whole entire job. You don't do it anymore. It's okay. It is annoying.
00:04:03
Speaker
Everybody wants to help, but constant the constant ringing and the never-ending phone calls are a little exhausting on a busy day. The never-ending, like, just having to tell people. It's like the IT having to be like, ah have you turned it off and on again? had to be like, if you're really concerned, bring your pen in to see the vet.
00:04:24
Speaker
If you're not concerned to call me, you should come in. it's It's the safest answer, though. It is. It is. It is the safest answer. So if you, you know, even just seeing things in person, listening to what someone is telling me about the animal right in front of us versus what I'm looking at, such a stark contrast. And if if I can't trust what they're saying when I'm looking at the thing with them, how can I trust what they're saying in a distance?
00:04:48
Speaker
Exactly. That's true. ah I do friend and what I love. Yeah. Okay. Okay. If it was a date everything object, like if it turned into a person, yeah I think I would probably be in love with the cages.
00:05:05
Speaker
just the cage. I imagine whatever that character is would be whatever I was into. Okay.
00:05:16
Speaker
That's an amazing answer. I can only imagine.
00:05:21
Speaker
Yeah, strong, tall, you know, a little cold. i get it.
Client Misunderstandings
00:05:27
Speaker
Chains metal. Big old cage bank. Yeah. Cage bank. Amen.
00:05:33
Speaker
That's a great one. And then friend would probably be the pills in the pharmacy. I don't know. Yeah. Why not? I hung out in the pharmacy a lot when I was receptionist just to help.
00:05:46
Speaker
Yeah. Are they a cut like a collective kind of hive mind thing like the hangers? Oh, I don't know. or would it just be like the cabinet of... Osmosis Jones' buddy cop.
00:05:58
Speaker
Do I have to pick a specific drug? Because it's going one in the lockbox. Because that's a hold that's a lot of friends. yeah That's a lot of friends. It's a whole gaggle. I think it's fine.
00:06:12
Speaker
And then your you got your hate. You got me now.
00:06:17
Speaker
I thought about it. So as I said, it's paper medical records. I can't read my own handwriting sometimes. ah They just, yeah, we're contentious. All records in general, i'm I'm not a big fan of, but if I have to use handwriting, the worst.
00:06:34
Speaker
Who am we're going to become friends with? It's the Sphygmomanometer. Oh, sure. Right? When you're into blood pressure, that thing you get squeezed and see the numbers go up. I love that guy.
00:06:47
Speaker
I have a lot of patience. I'm really good at getting blood pressures with a Doppler. And that guy always works. If something's not working, it's the Doppler or it's the There you go It's never the pump.
00:06:58
Speaker
Reliable. And it just sounds good. It's fun to say. It is fun to say. And then who do I love? I can't read my own handwriting. Hang on.
00:07:09
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's who I love. With a new fluid bag, when you rip off the little like rubber plastic nubbies that you can spike it with your fluid set. Wow. Love a nubby. Love to chew those guys. Sorry for the sound.
00:07:21
Speaker
Love to chew the nubs. That is a fascinating detail I just learned about you.
00:07:31
Speaker
You can't leave me around nothing. Did you chew that under your pens in school? No, that I don't. I respect my pen. It's got to feel good. i like I need to be able to do a little damage.
00:07:44
Speaker
Or no, need be able to take a little bit. yeah Like a Polly Pocket um stretchy jacket? Did I nail it? but but I think I would decimate a Polly Pocket by chewing on it.
00:07:58
Speaker
Not as a child, which I think is when the fascination with chewing on them came. Polly Pockets was like Mighty Max. Oh, these were bigger. This was the second gen Polly Pockets that we're talking about. They had these rubber clothes.
00:08:12
Speaker
Wow. People were really into chewing them. Forbidden candy, for sure. I only knew gen one Polly Pocket. Okay. It's okay. We're here to help.
00:08:23
Speaker
Damn, I'm dating myself. I mean, we had gen one. You're dating everything. I'm... You're too busy. The mirror.
00:08:35
Speaker
ah fantastic Fantastic leading question. i appreciate that. But I'm on my mind. So, the shades have been pulled. The doors are locked.
00:08:46
Speaker
And... The thermometer is lubed. Let's get into stories. Let's do it. Story, babe. Story. And actually, this goes along with what Dr. M hates.
00:09:01
Speaker
Uh-oh. Conveniently. Sloppy samples for those who don't remember. The most creative way I ever received a fecal sample. No. Oh, no. One intro. Dear Abby.
00:09:16
Speaker
Back when I was working in primary care, I told an owner that we needed a fecal sample to send out along with a test, a blood test. I handed him the container and explained, when his dog pooped, just scoop it up, bag it, or pop it in the container and bring it back. Easy.
00:09:34
Speaker
Easy. Pretty straightforward. I hope so.
00:09:39
Speaker
i also mentioned that if the dog went outside, he could just use the container and bring it in. Apparently he only heard part of these directions. Because about 90 seconds later, before I even realized he had it left, he marched back inside, proudly announced, here's the fecal sample, and placed it directly on the front desk.
00:10:03
Speaker
Ew. Not in the container. oh no. Not in a bag. Oh, no. But if... But on a four-inch wide maple leaf.
00:10:15
Speaker
Stop. What? With a very solid three-inch nugget sitting neatly on top. Well, okay. Well, it was sitting neatly. And it was solid. Unacceptable behavior.
00:10:28
Speaker
But. Yeah. Boop. On a leaf. On the counter.
00:10:35
Speaker
Now, if we didn't know that this person was just given... moderately clear instructions on how to touch the poop the next time it happens. And have the container. Right in their hand. oh Well, you know, the only person who dislikes a sloppy sample more than me is our beautiful receptionist. That's true.
00:10:55
Speaker
That would... I don't know if I would scream, but I know someone would scream. 100%. There would be sounds. There would be an audible... No, no, no.
00:11:07
Speaker
um so Oh, that's rough. It's just real a real Bigfoot situation, you know? Just grabbing what you got and providing the sample.
00:11:20
Speaker
Oh, natural. I was a little worried when they first described it that it was just fist. A fistful. yeah. So I am proud of them that they utilized some form of leaf. But can you imagine this man just carrying the maple leaf by like the little tips just coming in?
00:11:39
Speaker
Very, very happy with himself. Yeah. With the descriptor, i was imagining I was imagining the fecal cup was going to be used to like scoop or rake it off the ground.
00:11:50
Speaker
Yeah. Trying to scoop salsa back into the jar kind of situation. It's just bound to be messy. Or just at half in, half out, like a like a beautiful... are those drinks with the tomato juice and all the celery and the chicken and the crazy... Shitty Mary. Bloody Mary?
00:12:08
Speaker
Yeah, like a Bloody Mary. Don't put my favorite drink in. I love them too. I'm going to probably have one this weekend. You know what? I just got some mix that has pickle juice in it.
00:12:21
Speaker
oh Ooh. Bloody Mary with pickle juice? I like i like what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah? Zing Zang. The best. Hey, that a good one. Yeah, yeah,
00:12:32
Speaker
Bloody Mary mix. It's got that green label. we all know and it We all know the theme song. echo goes It goes. Zing Zang Zang. That is a goodie.
00:12:46
Speaker
Zing, zing, zang. UK hun. This story isn't completely over yet. Oh, okay. So, hoop. On the leaf.
00:12:57
Speaker
On the counter. And then, as if he just saved the day, he turned and walked out like a hero.
00:13:09
Speaker
My receptionist came running to show me what had just gone down and honestly still to this day that was was both the best and worst fecal sample I've ever received. It's fair. It's in the presentation. it does sound well plated.
00:13:24
Speaker
Yeah. I love the presentation. I'm not crazy about the flavor but the presentation was. But a five out of five on the plating and presentation.
00:13:35
Speaker
I'm just glad it was formed. It can get so wet. It can get rough. And I wouldn't put it past an owner to bring just a horrible slab. You could still use the maple leaf. Yeah.
00:13:47
Speaker
Could have been worse. What was the worst one that ever came in for you? Yeah, there's no fun ones. They're all just bad, huh? I've had things frozen not not offensive but I've had a lot of I've had a lot of frozen poopsicles provided to me and those are not a good diagnostic sample if you collect your poop in winter and you leave it outside on the back porch or you just try to scoop one last minute from the backyard and it's rock solid from ice you got to do it again my friends always fresh never frozen yeah you will take it refrigerated exactly right
00:14:23
Speaker
I've had Tupperwares that look like it was guillotined by the lid. oh So that can get kind of stuck under there. Yeah. I've had entire litter, like full litter boxes just put in garbage bag, brought in. You can figure out what to with that. Oh, dealer's choice. You get to your favorite. Yeah, you get the whole thing. It's a legacy of excrement.
00:14:47
Speaker
think the bar of what's gross is so high for me now that yeah i worry i've pushed out some of these probably some of these yucky things because i think the end of the day like at least the owner brought it in how many of them don't even bring a fecal sample when you request one so like and i do be needing it i need to know what's going on back there well plated Not wet.
00:15:12
Speaker
ah This mostly sounds like a win. and this sounds like This sounds like a good story, which is is exactly what it was. Yeah. We have another story.
Anatomy Misconceptions
00:15:22
Speaker
Yay, yay,
00:15:23
Speaker
Hmm? Let me take you back to the summer before veterinary school when I was working as a veterinary assistant. One afternoon, and met the sweetest couple, late 70s, maybe early 80s.
00:15:37
Speaker
They came in with their dog, a healthy two-year-old that was clearly well-loved and well-cared for. During the appointment, I asked routine questions. Would you like to have him neutered?
00:15:49
Speaker
The husband tilted his head, gave me a puzzled look, and said, oh, no, he's a boy.
00:15:59
Speaker
And he'll stay that way. you love it when people just, you ask a question and then they're like, no, no, no, no. They're a boy. Or, no, no, no. Like...
00:16:12
Speaker
Yeah, it's pretty fun, I feel. That's like one of those little like hee-hee moments. He's teeing him up to explain what neutering is. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like, ah Dr. M, you're the kind of like, say what now?
00:16:27
Speaker
What do you mean by that? tell me more. How interesting. Say more. Tell me more about your thought process. Say more. No, that or I would be able to live out my forever dream that I have not been able to scratch off my bingo list yet, which is to neuter something and then instill neuticles into the scrotum. I want to do it so bad. Neuticles are just ah fake testicles. And I've been asking people and bringing that up to people that are like, the husband doesn't want to neuter and the wife does. And I'm like, does he go out of town?
00:16:59
Speaker
We can neuter and put some neuticles in there and we can rock and roll. She's got to heal fast. But no one's taking me up on it. I'm trying. It's the perfect crime. I mean, they're still in business. Somebody's doing it. Someone is doing it because Nudicals is still thriving. And why not me? You got to find the right clients.
00:17:17
Speaker
Nudicals, sponsor this up episode. Please. Nudicals, please send me some. And a patient to put them in. Have I not talked about the Nudicals story? Did you get to do it?
00:17:29
Speaker
I didn't get to do it. Our friends, do fuck peabody ah Dr. Peabody, one of our good friends, Dr. Peabody, had a client who was looking to neuter their cat.
00:17:43
Speaker
um I think they were a fancy cat to some degree. Nothing too, too wild. Bangle or... Let's go with bangle. That sounds right. Munchkin. Yeah, no'm not a munchkin.
00:17:56
Speaker
Those medicals would be dragon. Yeah, exactly. that's It's too heavy. Center of gravity way too low. I had a munchkin. That wasn't a sentence. I had a munchkin.
00:18:09
Speaker
Yes. she was She was the junior surgery one. um So, yeah, they were looking for it. But the thing is, um this client was, like, upset because they were going to miss looking at them because, quote, they just liked the way they looked.
00:18:23
Speaker
hello ah So they decided that they wanted to do neuticals. Our friend said, all right, I'll take a look at it. I think I should be able to do this if that's what you really want. Talked about the risks, you know, infection, discomfort, all sorts of possibilities.
00:18:37
Speaker
ah Sponsor us. um And agreed to do it. She ordered the first set and she kind of brought them into the pre-surgical console. And then the owner's like, I ordered another size because these are these are just too small.
00:18:51
Speaker
They work. very appropriate testicle sizes for a cat. They were too small for her big boy. So they ordered the next size up and there's definitely some customization you can do with these things.
00:19:03
Speaker
Not a ton, but there's there's enough where it's multiple clicks. And they got them and they were some clackers. but crazy our friend. Are we talking like hamster balls?
00:19:20
Speaker
No. Interesting. The perspective is throwing me off. Cause I'm zooming into it sitting on itself. Like a tanuki bean bag chair. No, this was just disproportionate. Like almost, almost grape sized.
00:19:38
Speaker
colon When they should be like lima beans, maybe a blueberry.
00:19:46
Speaker
and yeah More than a blueberry. What a cat. Not a tart blueberry. Sorry, didn't I mention he was a big boy? Yeah, you did. you know was that you is a big boy.
00:19:59
Speaker
we're on we're run We're on a Lima Bean situation over here. Now I can't get this hamster tanuki thing out of my head. but they were successfully implanted. it went well, and now she gets to watch her cat's beautiful sack just saunter around, knowing that he will not be making more cats, but he gets to look as proud as true as self.
00:20:21
Speaker
I love that. Plus one. <unk> Best self rounded up. ah Honestly, the fact that that is even a product, that there's an industry for that, is it's like animal plastic surgery. There's a machismo thing about it.
00:20:37
Speaker
I see where people are coming from. I don't feel the same way. but You got nuts on your truck. You're going to take them off your dog. That's right. Not anymore. Nuticals. That's right. Sponsor.
00:20:47
Speaker
Us.
00:20:51
Speaker
You want the look that your dog is fertile, but you don't want them to make puppies. Correct. Makes sense. Yeah. As to both worlds, a real Hannah Montana situation.
00:21:02
Speaker
to ah That's what I name each year to call. This one's Hannah, this one's Montana. I missed that season, maybe? You didn't see the one? Where Hannah Montana gets truck nuts?
00:21:15
Speaker
Yeah. ah She would. The pink ones. Yeah, sparkly. Neon pink. he Okay, so the husband tilted his head, gave me puzzled look, then said, oh no, he's a boy.
00:21:30
Speaker
I smiled. Yes, exactly. That's why I'm asking if you you'd like to neuter or castrate him. But he shook his head and repeated, I don't think you understand. He's a boy.
00:21:42
Speaker
At this point, I knew I needed to explain further. So I broke it down. Neutering meant removing the testicles. It could prevent unwanted pregnancy, reduce prostate issues down the line, and even help with behavior.
00:21:57
Speaker
Also, are Isn't it true that neutered pets do live a little bit longer? like There's a whole lot of studies in the mix.
00:22:08
Speaker
And I think some of the data can be a little bit murky on how to how to look at it. Yeah, that was always what people would say. I think there's parts of the world that would disagree with that. I think that economically, ah if you are investing money to spay or neuter your pet, you can probably afford for other care, which would keep them alive longer. That makes sense.
00:22:29
Speaker
Good point. But... There are a lot of variables. If there was a perfect answer, we would all agree on one. i think that, ah you know, jury's still out. We're still working on it.
00:22:40
Speaker
Let's not get in the comments on this one just yet.
00:22:45
Speaker
So then he came back and he said, no doc, you don't get it. This is my son. and So the male owner scratched his head and finally asked the question that almost made me laugh out loud.
00:22:58
Speaker
Are you going to take his penis too?
00:23:03
Speaker
i quickly reassured him. no No, no, no. The penis stays. Just the testicles go. That's where the hormones come from. I don't think I've ever had someone think that they were going to get it amputated too.
00:23:15
Speaker
People don't probably normally Google it to know for sure. They just make their assumptions and they move on with their lives. And that's okay There is a surgery performed for male cats that does involve not necessarily removing the penis.
00:23:33
Speaker
Just rerouting. Just rerouting. a little duct work, you know? Switching up the plumbing a little bit. um If you've ever had a male cat that is prone to stones and blockage, um that is a surgery that is performed to help kind of change the normal position of the urethra so that it is a wider opening and less likely get stones lodged in there. So I could understand that.
00:24:00
Speaker
okay yeah Someone being confused about whether or not the penis is also being removed. Anyway, after reassuring him, You know, it's just the testicles.
00:24:11
Speaker
The owner wasn't done yet, but how would he pee? Because piss comes out of your balls. Yeah, of course. Again, i explained, he'd still have his bladder, still have his penis, still be able to pee. Nothing changes except the testicles.
00:24:30
Speaker
The man thought for a long moment, then nodded slowly and said, we'll have to think about it. One of you will, yeah. for a long time.
00:24:41
Speaker
Wow. Spoiler, they never came back for that neuter. Yeah, I assumed. Well, yeah, he's a boy. why would he come back? He's a boy dog. That's crazy. at That's very good.
00:24:55
Speaker
Yeah, i i can't I can't say that I've ever had somebody make that that assumption before. The hours and hours and hours that we spend in an anatomy lab together yeah You know, just learning learning where all these things belong. I think we're taking it for granted.
00:25:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's true. That's fair. i do think that there is there is a gap in our education system where the anatomy of sex organs is not well explained. That's true. And it's good, like...
00:25:32
Speaker
I think it's best that humans know what their own anatomy do before they learn about other species, unless you're and specifically doing what we do. Especially somebody who at this point is in their 70s, maybe 80s.
00:25:43
Speaker
I don't think they were getting the best education on their um sexual health. That's true. fair. had to figure it out by reading Playboys. ah
00:25:57
Speaker
I've never read one. i don't know what's in there. ah remarkably few penises and testicles, I assure you. Or you think you play girls? don't know, I guess.
00:26:10
Speaker
Now, they're discussed and maybe doodled, but never never fully featured. I think it's always crazy when people don't know their own anatomy. i also think it's crazy when men don't understand female anatomy.
00:26:25
Speaker
ah feel like everybody should know every... Well, women don't know, too, but like... Yeah. We got a lot of stuff down there y'all don't get. that Name thing you got that I don't get.
00:26:38
Speaker
you you went to you You went to school for a dog dicks. Yeah, you right. I had to explain what bulbal urethral glands were today. Somebody was like, oh, he's not neutered. I said, no, he is.
00:26:50
Speaker
No, he is. But his testicles are right there. And I said, no, they're not. They ain't. No, they didn't. Wrong. I have had a lot of people assume that when I neuter, I'm taking the entire scrotum. And it's always a fun little surprise you're like, we still got little sack back there. And you're like, yep, just empty.
00:27:07
Speaker
Emptied all the toys out Santa's sack, but the sack remains. i got ah I got read the Riot Act once for leaving it on a on a boxer. o ah Because it was so apparent afterwards.
00:27:21
Speaker
It was just this empty. So they needed neuticles. Yeah. wiles Or a scrotal ablation. And that's where you remove everything after as well. Not everything. Sorry. Let me be clear.
00:27:32
Speaker
Not everything. The neuter or archiectomy is removing both testicles. Nothing about the scrotum. um With a scrotal ablation, you also remove any redundant tissue that was the scrotum, leaving you with that silky smooth Ken finish.
00:27:51
Speaker
Yeah. ah This guy did not like that his very streamlined, beautiful boxer now had this just like bat wing vestige of a nut sack swinging back there.
00:28:05
Speaker
ah So from that point forward, anytime I neuter, when it's a dog with like short or no hair versus a very, very shaggy one, i will often bring it up, but I i generally don't encourage it No, makes healing it's messy. It's hard. Yeah, it's not it's not a simple part of It's not. It's going to add more time on for something that's purely cosmetic unless they are so specifically jumping over like a barbed wire fence and might hook something. caught by the sack. It's not going happen. a
00:28:37
Speaker
Caught by the sack, a boxer story. but All sacked up. I think that nudicles have fixed the problem, though. Yeah, true. Would have given a more streamlined situation. This person may have been it, yeah. But they weren't keen on it.
00:28:52
Speaker
I remember Emmy neutered my cat when he was a kitten, and you sent me pictures of his teeny, teeny tiny testicles. They were so cute. they were tiny Those were some those no miniature blueberries. No, I think smaller. Tic-tac? They were like a chocolate chip.
00:29:09
Speaker

He was a little guy. hu it was so cute he was only like maybe four months old five no yeah you did it you had to have done it like six months because I don't he done it younger than that no I didn't do it any earlier we did it six months but still he just he was a little he was compact he compact eco-friendly little guy back there and now you would never know but he even had balls at all

Speaker
Big cat.
00:29:47
Speaker
That's okay. My male cat, I went to go neuter him and I was like, I don't usually like to do surgery in my own pets because it makes me very nervous. Those are my children, not my patients. I don't need to see their insides. That makes me emotional. um But I was going to do it because it's just a cat neuter. And I was like, this is simple. This is easy. You can do this. Like you're going to rock it.
00:30:05
Speaker
And then I didn't realize he was crooked, meaning that his testicles had not descended. And I canceled surgery and brought him back a different day because I wasn't prepared organs. I was like, both yeah both are just the one.
00:30:18
Speaker
Both. Dang. I know he toddled away from his mom at a garden. And so now we know why she said, get out of here. No balls. yeah you'll bear You'll bear me no grandchildren.

00:31:31
Speaker
Oh, man. It's just, yeah, someone someone beefed the recipe. They did beef it. This boxer was otherwise fine. He got the leftover pieces in utero. They were like, oh, we have a little leftover for like half a cat. Here you go. Just sweep whatever's left over in a bag. well and We'll make it walk.
