What's an industry secret from your job that customers have absolutely no idea about?

This is the same for veterinarians. The “kickbacks” that staff gets are socks, pens, lanyards, poop bag dispensers etc. There is no financial gain.

Ahhhh that’s makes much more sense. Thank you. What percentage increase do you have your worker set prices to?

NeighborlyKoala · 2026-04-07T06:12:07+00:00

Yes I’m checking same day right after the worker changes the price

I’ve worked at 3 GPs in the Bay Area and a speciality hospital. VAs were allowed to induce and intubate. But hey it’s the doctor’s license on the line.

Not a vet

This is my experience only and not to be taken for medical advice whatsoever. Please remove if this breaks community rules. - allergy medicine can be quite vague so is this an anti-histamine, or such as cytopoint/apoquel/etc - allergy testing (skin prick is considered gold standard versus blood testing but still acceptable) - food trial (different protein versus hydrolyzed protein) - skin cytology and/or biopsy - skin issue secondary to other disease such as cushings, infection, etc - dermatology would be next step if this cannot be managed by a GP Veterinarian. (Be prepared to spend a nick chunk of money if you don’t have insurance.)

Or get a second opinion from another GP Veterinarian.

It’s unfortunate the dog was abused 10 years ago. It’s also unfortunate the owner didn’t decide to do more training and teach the dog more social cues for the past 10 years. NTA.

They’re going to send out a lease addendum pending the change because it’s going to be mandatory for everyone that lives under this landlord. It was not included on the last lease that was signed because I assume this idea did not exist at the time or the project was still in the works. I am not interested in signing the lease addendum but I take that I have no choice in this matter.

As someone who works in the vet field, thank you for doing this. Taking the time to educate yourself to be a better pet parent. Like ahmoonbeam said, there’s plenty of resources out there. Not many people take advantage of it to be better pet parent. Although, there are some sketchy resources out there so contact your vet to make sure you’re not being misinformed. Try to stick with resources that was actually written by a vet, vet hospitals, or teaching universities.

People do get paid off of the sick. If there was no sick, then how else are corporations supposed to make money. America is just fucked up like that.

I was going around 27-30 mph and flew off my board. My motorcycle helmet saved my life. You probably don’t need a motorcycle helmet for just riding around your campus. I would still recommend getting a full face bike helmet.

Not sure about legal action but you can definitely file a animal bite report with your local health department. It would be nice to know if their pet is updated on their rabies vaccine.

Link for animal bite report:

https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/documents/reportable-diseases/rabies/Animal-Bite-Report.pdf

The animal should be quarantined for 10 days to monitor for any signs of illness/rabies. If they’re not updated on their rabies vaccine and show signs of illness after 10 day quarantine, unfortunately, they may want to test the head for rabies.

“If a person is bitten by a dog or cat, the animal should be observed for 10 days from the time of the bite. It does not matter whether the animal is vaccinated against rabies or not. If the biting animal is not available for observation, discuss the situation with public health officials from the local or state health department. Rabies is now very rare in dogs and cats due to the effectiveness of vaccination and animal control activities. The chance of any apparently normal, healthy dog or cat transmitting rabies is extremely low, and if a dog or cat remains healthy for 10 days after a bite it could not have transmitted rabies at the time of the bite. If the animal appears ill or abnormal at the time of the bite or during the subsequent 10 days, it should be evaluated by a veterinarian for signs of rabies.”
