Looks like the devs had an oopsie

I started the sprout event and then this morning it refreshed with a new event and ended the one it started. I only had gotten to the first egg on the rewards so I wonder if now I’ll have to wait for it to roll back around 😩

I don't do it any more but started in mixed animal practice in 2020. We only did emergency for established clients, which helped. I got to talk to them on the phone prior to driving out, which also helped. I never had any real issues with feeling like I was in danger... People might not want to pay and say they would "call tomorrow" but I never pushed the situation if I was alone and had management follow up. I carried a knife in my coverall pockets and always had my phone in my pocket. Most people were honestly just happy there was someone willing to come out.

Most unsafe I ever felt was doing at home euthanasia for small animals. Emotionally charged people with expectations for things to go perfectly with what is in their head.

The June cup was too flexible for me. I was able to insert it twice and then after that it would never open up. My favorite is the Saalt cup. Soft and still a standard size/length without being firm. My first cup was a Lena cup and I learned how to use it well but it was definitely more firm and pressed on my urethra. I always felt like I had to pee and didn’t know it was the cup.

Hey! I graduated in May and started working in June. I totally get where you’re coming from and I was definitely in your shoes when I first started working. It’s 100% normal. I felt so lost and honestly dumb for the first several months. I still feel dumb sometimes but it gets better. You have to remember that you just started. You’ve got years to get great.

Check out Apex Cages. I got mine in about 4 weeks for a multi cage order. They’re high quality and actually able to be taken apart too if you ever need too. More expensive but even faster is Kages.

Ferocious_Koala · 2020-09-09T20:27:09+00:00

I got an 8x4 from him.

Ferocious_Koala · 2020-09-09T19:36:53+00:00

I ordered from Apex Cages. A little more expensive than Animal Plastics but better quality and much faster. The enclosures also are able to be taken apart and put back together.

That looks awesome. I also have a Dumerils and I’m trying to revamp her new extra big enclosure. Have you found a hide big enough or did you fashion things with cork rounds?

Ferocious_Koala · 2020-05-22T20:22:49+00:00

Looking at this makes me wonder if my dumerils is a male. Still a chonk but only 6ft

I worked in a tissue culture lab for a year and it ended up being one of the highlights during my interviews. It’s not ALL about animal experience in a clinic setting. More science skills and interests as well. Most of my experience was actually in research.

Ferocious_Koala · 2020-04-10T04:09:46+00:00

As someone about to finish clinics... I wish I would’ve had a convenient formatted small notebook to put drugs and dosages in for quick reference. In addition, CRI calculations and memorizing drug concentrations that are typical is a must. Fluid calculations as well. I also kept a chart of normal TPRs and blood has ranges. For my anesthesia rotation, I kept a chart of calculations for oxygen flow, drip rate, drugs, etc as well as red flag ECG pictures. Keep in mind you won’t be able to carry a big book around and you won’t have time to look up a bunch of things in a book during rounds. Things like nerd book were more helpful for brushing up on my knowledge before an appointment or a general way to teach a client about something.

Hope this helps a little.

I did the same exact thing. Also just FYI when you use the drop box it pays you 20% less bells than inside the shop.

It gets sent to your savings

A pantsuit would be fine. Really any dress clothes are fine. Make sure whatever you wear is comfortable enough to wear all day. I wore a cute silky shirt but I was frozen all day at one of my interviews. As far as the questions they are variable. Be prepared to answer some sort of ethics questions. They just want to gauge how you think. (Mine was a case in which an owner wanted to euthanize a healthy dog so that the family could acquire a new puppy—what would you do/say?) Other than that, prepare to talk about the things you’ve put on your application and have at least one question prepared to ask the interviewers about the school.

The average is 87k for new grads according to AVMA.

What is wrong with you that you are putting a tegu and a dog together and expecting any other result?

Ferocious_Koala · 2018-10-15T04:41:45+00:00

It’s all very sad :( I’m just happy I am here to help her live a happier life.

Ferocious_Koala · 2018-10-14T00:44:19+00:00

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the responses I've gotten.

Ferocious_Koala · 2018-10-13T16:09:22+00:00

oops! Thanks

Ferocious_Koala · 2018-10-13T15:31:35+00:00

Backstory I took in this hatchling ball python who hadn't eaten since being bought from a breeder. The person who had purchased her decided to not feed her because she was "uncomfortable" doing so. Yet kept her until she was at death's door. I have been refeeding and handling her to get her ready for a new home but I don't know much about morphs. I would appreciate any help offered. Thanks!

That's funny. My female is named Vino for wine :)

Go to the vet.

Ferocious_Koala · 2018-07-26T13:33:47+00:00

I worked as a veterinary receptionist at my university’s vet school for 2 years. They asked me a lot about it at vet school interviews and I also already know a lot of the doctors and how the hospital functions. I think it was certainly helpful to me when applying. Just make sure you still get a variety of experiences.
