Most Hilarious vet student stories
Well i thought as the geriatric student, i'd start...
1) I once shut my right ear in the door of my volvo 240 whilst in the petrol station. As if i couldn't have a more bizarre injury, i then went vaccinating sheep against orf, got some on my hand, tucked my hair behind my ear and got orf ick, he he!
2) The other day my group were pregnancy diagnosing some cattle, and i was stood in a milking parlour pit and a cow had a big tom tit right next to me and some bounced up off the floor and gave me a hitler moustache!!

once whilst doing work exp i was told to rinse a thermometer before taking a cat's temperature. after insertion and a minute had gone by the thermometer was removed and to the vet's horror it was the highest temperature she'd ever seen in a cat, at which point i remembered i'd rinsed it under the hot tap.
bet that was a bit of a surprise for the cat as well as the vet. i'm surprised it didn't object more than it did.

well....whilst lambing last year i was doing the late night check when i found a ewe in trouble. As the problem was too advanced for me i called for help and then whilst waiting for the farmer to come to my aid i stood up to have a look at the other sheep when i noticed that in the next yard (which i had checked about 10 minutes ago) was a ewe lying on its back with all four feet in the air. In a panic i lept over the fence (pretty energetic for midnight!) to find that the sheep was stone cold dead..i nearly had a heart attack as i thought that i must have killed it somehow. By the time the farmer arrived i was so scared at what he was going to say but when i explained he just shrugged and said that he had been expecting it for several days as he knew that it had been ill and there was nothing they could do - he could have flipping warned me!!!!!
Also whilst i was lambing i accidentally tried a bit of sheep riding which everyone else thought was hilarious except me - i was holding the ewe's two lambs to move her from one pen to another when she decided she didnt want to follow me but wanted to lead...and went straight through my legs. As im not thaat tall it meant my feet didnt reach the floor and here was nothing i could do ezcept wait for her to dump me on the floor..which she did very unceremoniously after going round the paddock twice with everyone killing themselves with laughter.
hmph it wasnt that funny!

Lambing is so great!
Don't you often find that when you're lambing, if someone is watching you then the delivery is really difficult.
My best story from lambing is when we wanted to catch one of the older rams to put in a field as it was getting badly roughed up. So we went up with food and got the rams down and the farmer goes, "we want that one, the mean looking one". So i thought ok, then he say "says i'll help you". What did he do, he opened the gate and stood there laughing as i got dragged about by this ram. When i got it through the gate, he applauded politely. Not impressed.

i daresay i'd have done the same if i was the farmer.
I was calving a cow, i put my hand in to try and get some sort of a grip on the calfs leg. I put my hand further and further up until i decided i would put my other hand up to see if two hands would allow me to stretch further. I felt nothing so put my head in to have a look around. As I couldn't see much I decided to actally climb into the vagina of the cow, and have a seach around in the uterus to see if i could see anything. There was nothing there so, after getting covered in the mucus from the endometrium etc I climbed out to find the farmer looking at - he said: " You silly billy, climbing into the uterus of that cow, she lambed an hour ago"! Boy was I embarrassed!!
Just remembered the time I was doing work experience at a vets nearby... it was my third day.
I was sat in the kennels and there was an alsation in for some kind of treatment that I didn't bother to read about but he looked bored so I started playing with him, throwing a golf ball, into his kennel under his door, that I'd found with his lead and medical card.
We were playing along quite happily until one of the vet nurses came running in and asked me 'what on earth I thought I was doing giving him back the golf ball that they'd just removed from his stomach'

!!!Whooops!
i was working in the vets and cleaning out one of the larger kennels, which i had to get inside to clean. as one of the vets walked past, he knocked the door with his leg to shut it, and i was stuck in the kennel for an hour. not impressed!

!!!LOL, CLASSIC! Evwen my vetty housemates who aren't impressed by many disaster stories any more, owing to our vast experience, (!) loved this one lol!!!!
I was with a vet a few weeks ago at a large private collection treating some marmosets. They kept a huge range of species so I was really interested.
After we had finished and were having a coffee with the staff, I asked "do you have any other primates here"... I'll never forget the reply one of the newer ones gave "err yeah, we've got some racoons"

working on a pig farm one day they let me inject a few ill pigs. their theory was if you couldnt catch them they wernt ill enough to need injecting. went back the next week... they had all died! the pigmen wernt too bothered, apparently the others that were ill that they hadnt injected had also died, and the ones the other guy there did, so it wasnt anything to do with me! they thought it was funny tho to worry me.
