A man takes his hamster to the vet, and after a short look at the creature the vet pronounces it dead.
Not happy with the vet’s diagnosis the man asks for a second opinion.
The vet gives a whistle and in strolls a Labrador dog. The dog nudges the hamster around with its nose and sniffs it a couple of times before shaking his head.
“There” says the vet,” Your hamster is dead”.
Still not happy the man asks for a third opinion. The vet opens the back door and in bounds a cat. The cat jumps onto the table and looks the hamster up and down for a few minutes before looking up and shaking it’s head.
“It’s definitely dead sir”, says the vet.
Convinced, the man enquires how much he owes. “That will be $1,000, please”.
“$1,000 just to tell me my hamster is dead” fumes the man.
“Well”, says the vet, “There’s my diagnosis, the lab report and the cat scan”.
