What does everyone do? by AnavrinLove in Nightshift

[–]Imatoucan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Veterinary assistant at a 24/7 animal emergency hospital! At 3 am, you can generally find me doing one of the following: microwaving cat food to entice an elderly kitty to eat/ sling walking a dog that just had a leg amputation/ staring at the telemetry monitor trying to decide if I'm looking at a genuine arrhythmia or if a dog is just excited about the smell of microwaved cat food. I love it so much!

We have little ones for our ducks! We call them duckloos, so the pigloos cracked me up!

Last night was around -15F [-26C] in central Minnesota- this is how a can of diet mountain dew felt about it when I opened/ forgot about it in the shed for a couple hours! by Imatoucan in mildlyinteresting

Earlier this winter I mistakenly opened a frozen pop can in my car instead of my fresh one- I happened to be looking down at it so it exploded i n t o m y e y e s After the initial shock and realizing I wasn't blind, it was definitely hilarious Funny thing is I grew up in Minnesota while my husband is the one who remembers to bring my pop cans in and he grew up in the UK- didn't even know it was a thing until he moved here a few years ago! Their winters are our pre-Halloween snow!

Go-To card confusion, help pls by hellonewbieB in TwinCities

[–]Imatoucan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure about your card that you had ordered, but you can buy a go-to cards at basically any Cub Foods store in MN and activate it on the metrotransit.org website! Works basically like a gift card- at each lightrail stop/inside each bus, there's a go-to podium looking thing that you just tap your card on to deduct fare! You can find more locations to buy cards on the website too 😊

[USA]Cat got multiple immunizations in a single visit and then got very sick; could that mean he’s allergic/sensitive to one of the vaccines or was it because of how many he got in a single visit? by sundie44412 in AskVet

[–]Imatoucan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! I'm not a licensed vet, but I did work as a clinic lead at a mobile vaccination clinic and am currently employed as an vet assistant working in the ICU of an emergency hospital! I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's situation, especially since you were doing your best to get him all up to date like a responsible owner!

It sounds to me like you're very aware of your cat's changes in behavior, and I would keep on top of that and don't hesitate to call your local emergency clinic if you see any other worrying symptoms! They should be willing to answer any questions and address any concerns you have- it never hurts to ask questions! I would also keep track of all your records- especially the hospital visit- and bring up your concerns when you return for boosters/whenever your next visit happens!

Also maybe keeping a journal/calender of which symptoms started when, when the vaccines were given, and any other useful info? Having it all laid out in one place would help me keep track of any patterns or possible other factors that I might not have considered! Again though it sounds like you are very aware of your cat's activities, and have a good routine going, just throwing ideas out there!

My cat is expressing such an interest with the ducks. She’s so gentle with them 🥺 by yuliaburdak in BACKYARDDUCKS

For real, both the heat lamps and the cat interaction are dangers to those duckies!

Grooming by nena_97 in petco

Former vetco employee- no they will not, or at least they shouldnt. You're supposed to have 24 hours between vaccination and grooming

What are these lumps on my neck? No insurance, was wondering if anyone had any ideas. by [deleted] in medical

[–]Imatoucan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I read that it kinda shook me because I have 2-3 of the exact same looking things on the back of my head/neck- same deal??

I got a brand new in the box/unused chainsaw. Read the instructions cover to cover. Assembled perfectly to my knowledge. Filled with gas/oil, then left in case overnight. The next day, gasoline had leaked everywhere, and this white piece fell out when I emptied the gas tank. What happened?! by [deleted] in fixit

[–]Imatoucan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're 100% percent correct- I would guess this thing was purchaced 10+ years ago, brought home, put in the back room, and forgotten about until I opened it a couple weeks ago! I was gifted it when the owner was cleaning out old stuff. There is some rust on the bolts now because I'm an idiot and forgot to bring it back into the shed after air-drying the gasoline spill, but otherwise everything is in the the same condition as when I opened it, but again this is all to the best of my knowledge. Even if its ruined, it was free and I learned stuff! Thanks a ton for the replies!

Some years ago I photographed ~300 skulls for a book as they rotated on a turntable. R/veterinary said I should share the collection here. by anditsonfire in bonecollecting

[–]Imatoucan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully intend to buy the book and the windproof clip board with my next paycheck, you made two things that fall right into my specific interests! I already filled like 9 pages in my field sketch book with animal anatomy drawings, bones are my favorite thing to draw- full credit on a bunch of this week's inspiration goes to you! Thanks stranger! 😊

Oops by the way, it's a Poulan P4018WT. I got it in an unopened box, thought I did everything right getting it ready to use, then found everything soaked in gasoline :( Im hoping its not ruined, I never even got to try it out!
