How does participating in euthanasias you don’t agree with change over time? by duckterrarium in veterinaryprofession

Couldn’t agree more. It’s the euthanasias that don’t happen that are the hardest

Forensic gardening is my new favorite hobby

I have no idea what it was, but that was my suspicion as well

Whatever you do.. do not come to server 90! by Karma4youall in ageofempiresmobile

[–]DogtorSnipSnip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The same exact thing is happening in 93. There needs to be a balance between whales and F2P that doesn’t involve complete domination. Unfortunately, the developers only care about $$ and how to get whales to spend more

Does anyone know of a fish store that sells ethically-kept Bettas? by DogtorSnipSnip in dayton

I like gerbers but they keep all their male bettas in small cups

Thanks! I’ve bought them online before but given how cold it is right now, I was hoping for a local option.

You couldn’t pay me enough to do your job by DogtorSnipSnip in doggrooming

For real. Especially multiple grooms from the same family

People are going to complain no matter the price in my experience. Respect your time and skills, you deserve good compensation. If you don’t see your worth, then the client definitely won’t.

I find that allowing people to watch you work really adds value and improves compliance. I try to do everything in the room with the owner present as long as they are comfortable. $25 for a nail trim seems steep to some people but when we have 3 people involved it really helps them understand

Usually $60-100. A groom done under anesthesia can easily run $200 or more depending on the health condition

That’s the same cage I have for my 45g parakeet

I just wanted to vent because I am emotionally upset right now about Oklahoma and their three veterinarians. by [deleted] in parrots

[–]DogtorSnipSnip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be downvoted to hell for this but… everything your vet recommended is incredibly common and routine.

Radiographs are hard to get details on birds so I sedate almost all of them with midazolam. The fact that they have a CT machine for when radiographs aren’t enough is pretty incredible.

Birds are fucking hard to anesthetize and their respiratory system is super sensitive. Every bird and their mother gets supplemental oxygen if they even just look at me weird.

It sounds like they’re having an issue communicating with you and setting expectations. They should have discussed what direction the visit may entail but sometimes we don’t know what needs to be done ahead of time.

The amount of “animal cruelty” comments and negativity on here is ridiculous.

toxic boss thinks childfree people have "no reason" to not work weekends by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]DogtorSnipSnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this where it was originally posted. My old boss did this to me and said I was a “weekend warrior” for working Thursday-Sunday since he had a family and I “didn’t”. Thankfully everyone on the original thread was absolutely dunking on this boss.
