In A Christmas Carol, the Ghost of Christmas past reminds Ebenezer Scrooge of his childhood innocence and leads him to understand how he could change the future by being generous and kind. For today’s blogpost, I am calling up some of the “ghosts of AMC Christmas past” – tales of AMC patients who nearly succumbed to a tragic fate and now serve as a warning to current pet owners. These stories will help you change your holiday preparations to avoid pet mishaps and enjoy this year’s holiday season to its fullest. Hopefully, it will be a holiday season without a trip to the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center’s 24/7 Emergency Room.
