"But you said we're going to the dog park!" Anyone who had to take their dog to the vet knows that somewhere along the way, comes this look. the look of betrayal. Here are 10 dogs who will probably never believe you again.
Philmo, the young rescued bobcat has been taken into the vet for a surprise visit. Philmo was developing mats on his hind end, and it's unncommon for a bobcat as young as himself to do so.
Big Cat Rescue decided to look into the matter quickly, taking Philmo to the vet where they discovered he has kyphosis.
Kyphosis is described online as "excessive outward curvature of the spine, causing hunching of the back."
Thankfully, Big Cat Rescue saw there was a problem and immediately cared for Philmo! Philmo will be receiving pain management and hopefully things will turn around!
Thanks Big Cat Rescue for truly caring for all these gorgeous animals! Big Cat Rescue is an educational non-breeding, accredited, sanctuary and a registered non-profit 501c3 so your donations are tax deductible!
Grab those tissues, folks, there won't be a dry eye (or nose) in sight. Whenever we say goodbye to our beloved pets, it's NEVER easy. But we never really hear the vet's side of an euthanasia, until now.
In a viral post by Brenda Gough, we got to see and feel what a vet experiences during this difficult time...and it's still NEVER easy.
Time for the vets to rule! These funny vet memes will fix what ails you.

Aleksei Krotov, a vet in Rostov-on-Don, has always dreamed of having a raccoon. When he opened his clinic, he and his wife adopted Yasha, who was found in a very bad condition. After living at their home for a while, he brought her to the clinic. The doctor quickly noticed that Yasha had a real talent for reassuring stressed and sick dogs that came to the clinic to receive treatment. On the other hand, the cats didn't seem to be the biggest fans. The raccoon quickly earned herself a reputation, and now, people come to the clinic just to cuddle and pose with her. She's truly become a local celebrity. For more, follow her page on instagram.
Recently, a woman on tumblr gave a vegan meal to her lab and posted the picture online. The whole incident sparked an incredible debate and one veterinarian, in particular, explained why this was a big mistake. According to the available scientific evidence, dogs rely on natural protein intake for their proper nourishment. These days, however, things are different as people are continually giving their dogs food of their own choice. For instance, vegans are giving dogs vegan meals (no meat). Now, doing this does not immediately affect a dog's health, but instead, the health slowly starts deteriorating which the owners don't notice. In short, by forcing your lifestyle on dogs, you are putting their lives at risk. That is why this thread is so important to read by any pet owner. Via: RearFront
Some cat emergencies come on suddenly and are overt, but others start off vague. Here's how to recognize an emergency situation and when to bring your cat to the vet ASAP. All tips are brought to you by Dr. Eric Barchas via Catster.
The following list is designed to help you recognize cat emergencies that always warrant an immediate trip to the vet. However, it is not exhaustive, and you may find yourself in an ambiguous situation not covered on the list. Remember that when in doubt it is always safest to have a vet evaluate your cat. A physical exam that reveals nothing wrong causes no harm; doing nothing about a critical situation can lead to a fatal outcome.
It all started when cat owner, Ashly Perez shared on twitter her cat's special coping mechanism while they visited the vet...it evoked all kind of funny memories from other cat owners too.
