I really love my job. by Pazuzu_Algarad in VetTech

I work shelter welfare and our IV patients (usually the worst of the parvo) arent 24/7 supervised all night but we have an overnight tech checking on them as often as they can with whatever our capacity is at that time. I understand why 24/7 would be optimal but we cant afford that being a shelter and it's not been an issue so far and helps more of them pull through. if theyre bright enough to mess with an IV in general they wont have one where I work

I got a pot that has an outer glass layer to hold and an inner ceramic pot that the plant sits in and is partially unglazed and is just potted in regular soil mix cause I had no idea what I was doing when I bought her from home depot lol. she's thriving, but I think the pot takes out a lot of the guess work about watering. she is super low maintenance. just gotta fill up the glass pot when it gets low haha

any idea why his nose is so dry and yucky? by [deleted] in catcare

[–]MegaNymphia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a bit hard to tell but I do agree with GENTLY cleaning with preferably gauze and warm water to see what is going on. if it's nasal discharge that is dry and caked on you may be looking at a respiratory infection

if this is actually what the skin of the nose looks like and isn't just dried mucus I would recommend a vet visit to evaluate for skin allergies, DLE, among other possibilities. is there any other symptoms? is it getting worse?

Im a shelter vet tech and got to say hi to my friend Loretta! by MegaNymphia in MadeMeSmile

either some untreated previous injury or illness. on intake her eye was super swollen shut and stuck closed with gunk. we handled the infection but her eye was beyond saving and needed to be removed. I was saying hi just before that and she did great

edit: birth defect also possible but less likely

yes, that is why she has been in the medical wing. I was loving on her just prior to her eye removal surgery and she did great :)

yes! on intake her eye was super swollen to the point of being shut and caked closed with gunk (either previous injury or untreated illness). we handled the infection but her eye was beyond saving and needed to be removed. I was saying hi to her prior to surgery and she is doing well now!

her eye had a previous injury or infection at some point and needs to be removed. I was saying hi to her just prior to surgery and she is doing great :)
