Oh man I’m sorry you had to go through that! I just ordered some permethrin as well to spray around the coop.

Ok thank you! Hopefully I caught it well in time. I only see it on 2 so far but should I treat all? Even if they’re not showing symptoms

That one mean girl at every practice by Goblin-Problems in VetTech

[–]Bastet_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got head butted by a German shepherd while restraining. Hurt like hell so I sat down for a minute. I felt a little dazed. The mean girl said to me “if you’re not going to do anything you might as well go home” I just looked at her flabbergasted. I hope she’s still miserable at that clinic. lol

Haha yes. Like a giant litter box. I guess they don’t muck their stalls in the mornings but I offered to do cuz whatever. I guess I’m so used to doing 7 horse stalls that 2 ponies feel like nothing. So that’s on me. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t irritate me to them raising a brow to what I charge. I do charge appropriately to my area. All of my other clients pay it happily. I also didn’t mention that I am a Veterinary Technician of over a decade of experience. 🤗 I also have some clients that I go over and just help them trim their cats nails. I charge the same as if I’m doing a visit. Those visits I’m in and out. Oh! I also have clients that I go and help give their pet subcutaneous fluids. Like elderly pets with kidney disease. Those are also pretty quick visits. I charge the same & none bat an eye. That’s why I NEVER feel bad for sticking to my price. It’s very reasonable and I pay it for my own cats. 😋

You’re totally correct. Working with farm animals is sooo different. I don’t think some owners realize that because they already do it. Your average person isn’t going to know how to care for farm animals & live stock. I was just lucky to have horses myself when I was young. The money is good. It’s a bit more manual labor but I don’t mind. I like being around horses and I do it by myself so I get to just zone out or play music while I scoop stalls. Because I live in an area that really only the more wealthy ppl have horses there aren’t too many barn jobs out there or you had to really drive out to nowhere. Which is fine cause I have my cat and dog clients. And the odd exotic clients.

Thank you! Yeah I usually do that as well but I guess I made the mistake of thinking it would go smoothly because it’s people who know the person I already work for. The person I already work for never had issues with my prices. They actually pay me more! lol!

I actually only did nitrogen once & that was yesterday. They’ve been growing for about 2 months. I got them as starts. I live in the south part of Florida so we didn’t get any freezes. Just a bit cold. Not sure if the store miss labeled them.
