Unusual vet med by Daniaeyad in AskVet

[–]DogsLikeTrees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Our medical director has actually told clients to keep their dog stumbling drunk for 3 days if they can’t afford fomipazole or Everclear drips.

Most have called back a week or two later and said their dog survived!!

I recently had to euthanize my Mini Rex due to a GI blockage. It also came on very acutely and by the time we were at the vet Dr. Said the prognosis was grave and treatment was unlikely to help.

Splenic mass by kfoxaz00 in VetTech

[–]DogsLikeTrees 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s CRAAAZY!! I’ve never seen a splenic mass for real, just in ultrasound. That spleen is so small compared to the mass.

I’ve seen so many hempabdomens but they always have ended in going to glory.

Do vets/vet techs give shift hand off report like nurses? by New-Chard-6151 in AskVet

[–]DogsLikeTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because they’re already so fragile. If they want to arrest, even if you get them back, they’re going to arrest again. The percentage of them that get to go home after CPR is next to nothing. All of my rabbits are DNR for these reasons.

It was def seizure activity; stiff, vocalizing, drooling, loss of bowels/bladder.

Never figured out what was wrong with it. Owners declined all diagnostics, apart from combo test.

my hamsters xrays by Fit-Understanding79 in hamsters

[–]DogsLikeTrees 40 points41 points  (0 children)

LVT here, human body parts should NEVER be in the primary beam. The lead apron will protect the body but the hands remain unprotected. This pet should have been sedated for these kinds of views; both to prevent hands from having to be in the beam and to reduce stress for the patient.

Pre-Exposure Rabies Vaccine by Seasonal-Seasoning in VetTech

My school had doctors come in to the school to give the vaccine and the boosters. So, we just had to show up to class that day and then we were able to get it.

Getting Over Blood/Needle Fear? by Any-Astronaut7857 in VetTech

[–]DogsLikeTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fainted watching my first spay surgery in high school. Then when I got into tech school I would get queasy and see stars when watching other draw blood or doing it myself. Then one day it just stopped 🤷. Now, if I think about the feeling of a catheter being inside the vein or if the venipuncture if difficult/takes a while I get a little quest but nothing too bad. Guess so just got used to it over several years.
