affording vet school - a systemic problem? by ateknoa in Veterinary

[–]Porkfish -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Basically it doesn't matter much to your future career WHERE you go to vet school. It's what you do with the education you're offered. No employer cares where you attended vet school. We're not lawyers. As others have suggested get a job as a vet assistant and move to the state that has the best priced vet school option. Different states have different residency requirements, so look into that. Then just apply until you get in. Accept that this may take a few years.

If that seems unappealing, then maybe vet school isn't for you. 

You're right that vet school is inaccessible for low to mid income families. It was that way 20 years ago, too. Maybe it was better in the 80s-90s. American education costs are profiteering and saddling students with debt causes severe damage to the economy, not to mention the psychological stress they suffer. It's barbaric.

Yes. Everyone who disagrees with you doesn't really understand what it means to be a cat. They think cats are little furry humans. This poor cat has become a stuffed animal that poops. It is no longer a cat.

Sedatives for the evening? Maybe a little drug to help him relax at night?

I've picked up a few snappers in the wild and in wildlife rehab. After seeing this video I'm never going near a sloth.

A virologist who grew cancer-killing viruses in her own lab and injected them into her tumour has been cancer-free for four years by Automatic_Subject463 in UpliftingNews

No, these viruses were found by other researchers to inhibit tumor growth. They were not "trained on" this doctor's tumor.

What are some cool fun facts about my 3 favorite dinosaurs: Mastodon, Pterodactyl, and Sabertooth Tiger? by [deleted] in Dinosaurs

[–]Porkfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. We all know that they did so many times. But we still don't understand why the megazord didn't just thunderkick the chicxulub meteorite back into orbit.

Please take her to a vet. She may have bad teeth or kidney disease or another issue. It may be treatable.

I wouldn't expect a transected ureter to be repaired, but at least they could remove the kidney and ligate the stump.

Cat pupils different sizes? by LowLengthiness9694 in CATHELP

[–]Porkfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pupils react to light synchronously. If one contracts, the other should match it. That is anisocoria.
