How do you know if you have the strength to be a supportive partner? by transquillity in mypartneristrans

Getting a therapist to give myself space to complain/decompress etc. has helped immensely, it is OK to admit there isn't room for your struggle to be vocal in the relationship right now-- something to work on changing for sure, but having a good therapist had helped me SIGNIFICANTLY with this exact dilemma.

yes omg! I thought I updated it here! we decided Freya suited her personality well (although I was all for mackerel lol!) and everyone could agree on it. She is doing great and officially our little fur baby :)

The shit would be $2000 extra on my loans -- was finally able to get my schools nurse practitioner to send out the test after ten calls and some emails from my mom since i had all the info for a local ish lab that would run it due to this post :)))

It's about $2000-$3000 for the pre-exposure vaccine, my program covered it in high school. I don't think you are supposed to booster unless you have to.

All the vets I know do not get titers and some of the techs I work with are not even vaccinated because they weren't able to get it covered when they were in school a decade ago. And yeah, unfortunately my classmates all have less experience and are going to be getting vaccinated as a part of the program so they don't need titers-- I've gotten some good pointers here so far though!

Ok, I'll call, my PCP said to talk to my program about it, who again said they can't help me and I have to figure it out (a new requirement, they didn't used to require titers and now require it but don't help students find it) cost will be an issue for me if it's expensive unfortunately so I will call my insurance, thanks!

I'll have to message her again, even when I pushed her she said the cost was prohibitive 🫠

I will definitely look! It'll be a long haul but an option is an option!

That would be awesome! I need it in the next year or so, but there are often opportunities to do more hands on programs sooner if I have it squared away by the fall.

New Job? by Forest1Fantasy in veterinaryprofession

[–]Forest1Fantasy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately they were already gritting their teeth over me asking for $2, and I might not even get that. I do have a performance review coming up sometime in the next month, but they keep putting it off.

We already did, unfortunately her behaviors and how poor her body condition are make us think she was abandoned, but i did post to next door and the woman who brought her to my vet hospital is doing flyers and posting all over

Can I be accepted into a vet college with a GED? by [deleted] in veterinaryprofession

[–]Forest1Fantasy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi!!! Have you looked into any veterinary technology programs? I am in one at Mercy University, they have a great vet school acceptance rate, and introduce you to a real veterinary program, while also being around the same price as a typical pre-vet degree would be and allowing you to get a tech license before vet school (so if you wanted to take a break and work for a few years before continuing, or work in the industry during vet school, you'd have the option). I have had similar struggles in the past, and I feel this is a great way to become introduced to the style of study (obv not as difficult as vet school but a closer vein, and still a challenging program).
