Yes. A dog had a prong collar that was a bit too loose. When the dog ran after a squirrel, the collar shifted and one of the prongs got lodged in the dog's jowl. The dog yelped in pain and the owner had a hard time getting the prong out without causing more harm. Incorrect sizing of prong collars can lead to all kinds of horrible and painful situations for the dog.
Well, I heard about a case where the prong collar was too small. It was constantly digging into the dog's neck, creating sores and making the dog extremely uncomfortable. The dog was constantly whining and trying to get the collar off. The owner didn't realize the problem was the size until it was too late and the dog had already suffered a lot from the ill - fitting prong collar.
I heard of a case where a dog trainer used a prong collar on a small, timid dog. The trainer yanked on the leash too hard during a training session, and the prongs cut into the dog's neck. The poor dog yelped in pain and was left with visible marks and bruises. It was a horrible situation as the dog was clearly traumatized by the experience.
One horror story is a dog getting its neck severely scratched by the prongs. The sharp edges of a low - quality prong collar dug into the dog's skin during a simple walk, causing bleeding and great pain to the poor animal.
A prong collar horror story could be one where a dog wearing a prong collar got seriously injured. For example, if the collar was misused by an inexperienced owner. The prongs could dig too deeply into the dog's neck, causing wounds and excessive pain. This might happen during a walk when the dog suddenly pulls and the owner jerks the leash harshly.
Yes. Some people are wrongly diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency just based on general fatigue or mild muscle pain. They are then given Vitamin D supplements. However, the real problem could be something else like a thyroid disorder. By the time the correct diagnosis is made, the patient may have already suffered from the side effects of taking too much Vitamin D, such as kidney stones. It's a horror story of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
Well, I heard of someone who thought that if a little afrin was good, more would be better. So they increased the dosage on their own. As a result, they had trouble sleeping at night due to a racing heart and restlessness. They also noticed that their nasal congestion actually got worse after a while. This was a real horror story for them as they were trying to solve their congestion problem but ended up making it worse and also causing other health issues.
Sure. One time, someone installed the RAM sticks in the wrong slots. Their PC would not boot up at all. They spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong until they finally checked the RAM and realized their mistake.
A family got a shock collar for their new puppy to train it not to chew on furniture. However, they didn't understand how to properly use it. They left the collar on the puppy all day. The puppy received multiple shocks throughout the day for normal puppy behavior like exploring its new environment. This led to the puppy becoming very skittish and having trust issues with its owners. It took months of positive reinforcement training to undo the damage caused by the improper use of the shock collar.
One possible horror story is taking too much of a probiotic. For example, if you overdose on it, it can lead to excessive gas production, which is really uncomfortable. You might find yourself constantly bloated and passing a lot of gas, which can be embarrassing in social situations.
Well, a man was told he had a rotator cuff problem and needed surgery. However, it turned out that the real issue was a pinched nerve in his neck that was causing the shoulder pain. After the rotator cuff surgery, his pain persisted. He had to start from scratch to find the real cause. He went through various neck examinations and finally got the correct treatment for the pinched nerve, but the whole process was very frustrating and he had to endure the pain for a long time due to the incorrect diagnosis before the rotator cuff surgery.
Some people misuse temazepam by taking it during the day when they are supposed to be active. This can lead to them being in a daze all day long. There was a story of a worker who did this. He was at his job site but couldn't function properly. He made a lot of mistakes that could have been dangerous for himself and others around him. It was a horror story not only for him but also for those who depended on him to do his job safely.
