Heartworm tests during annual vaccine visits are a fairly common occurance, and are strongly encouraged for all pet owners to have done at least once yearly to make sure their pets' heartworm preventative is effective, as well as check for a couple of tick borne diseases our four-legged kids may pick up. In order to do this, it required three drops of blood. Typically a couple of assistants will go into the room, draw a small amount and use it just for this. Simple, right? Not every time, especially in older animals whose veins tend to roll away from the needle under the skin, which most of us will typically make a small joke about. This was one such occurance.
Me:*after having stuck the poor dog twice and being unable to obtain a single drop of blood* You don't have any blood, darlin'!
Client: OH MY GOD!
