    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey guys,
I have been pretty quiet the past few months. I've had a LOT going on at work, probably a little more than I thought I could handle, so as a result, my social & internet life had to take a break for a little while. It's really nice to be back...it's going to take a while to sift through everything I have missed.

A while ago, I posted a few threads which included pictures of some really cool xrays of some dogs and cats, and I got a lot of positive feedback about it. Several people asking me to continue those types of threads. Today, I got the most interesting case I have ever been involved in (in 12 years) as a vet tech....

8 year old, spayed female, dachshund. Spayed about one year ago, with no complications noted from the owner. The dog is brought to us for lack of appetite for a week, and lethargy. Here is what we found in the XRay.

What is in the abdomen? Lateral and Ventral Dorsal views of XRay shown.

these are fun but I am terrible at them. Well since you say 'spayed' in bold, I'm going to guess perhaps surgical equipment? Did they leave the oviary in there? (looks way too big, but maybe??)
it's not a human birth control device is it? (that was my first thought)
 
I underlined "spayed female" in an attempt to make it a clue. The answer has to do with the fact that she is spayed. Remember that she was spayed later in life, say last year around this time.

The surgical procedure was done properly. And it is not a birth control device. :rofl:

Keep guessing. Not necessarily something that has been swallowed....:D

Okay, no more clues.
 
I'm thinking it's some sort of reptile since this was posted in the "General Herp Talk" section.
