Certain things seem obvious, so obvious that it goes unsaid that they shouldn't be done. At least one Rhode Island man failed to read the memo that explained it's a dumb friggin' idea to perform surgery on your own dog to treat a cyst. The gang at the Rhode Show - think Fox & Friends in a trailer park instead of a modern TV studio - seemed more worried about the financial ramifications of playing Operation on Fido than the idea of an untrained person treating a sick animal. The owner/surgeon said he couldn't afford a veterinarian for the patient/victim, a 14-year old lab named Nakita. The owner pleaded no contest to animal cruelty charges last week.
