Me: What's going on with Fluffy today?
Obnoxious Owner: She hurt her leg Saturday. It was really bad so I gave her Advil.
Me: Please do not do that again. Advil is toxic to dogs.
OO: You were closed and she was in pain.
Me: Do not give Tylenol, Advil or Aleve to dogs. It can cause liver or kidney failure.
OO: Well, I couldn't just let her be in pain, could I?
*Facepalm* The clinic has an emergency number where a veterinarian can be reached 24/7 as well as an emergency clinic nearby if Fluffy was really in that much pain. Hell, even a simple internet search will tell you those are toxic to dogs. Instead, she would rather risk organ failure.
