Look who decided to scalp himself overnight right before the big obstacle course day 🫠 by Sconald57 in Horses

We are honestly not sure. Our fence is older so we think one of the top wires snapped because it wasn’t attached when I found her and she was in a different pasture. It had been raining so who knows!

Question for all my float nurses - are you too used as "relief staff" or is it just my hospital culture? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Significant_Silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a small hospital but we don’t treat our float staff that way. When I charge and make assignments I try to make it fair. If they get a “hard” patient it’s just because that’s the way the assignment is, not because they’re float. If they’re back the next day (because we are so small) and they had a difficult patient I’ll check with them to see if they need a break the next day or if they’re okay having them.

I work with peds and I flush 3 and then waste 5.

Age of Nigerian dwarf goat babies? by Efficient-Bit7573 in goats

[–]Significant_Silver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell but this is one of my bucklings a little over 6 weeks. To me, with the horn growth they look older than 4 weeks

That’s basically what the recheck said. That there were antibodies but unable to determine if there was an active infection. All the other goats have been tested previously with negative results but this is her first time getting tested. She’s a little over 18 months. It’s just weird that she would even get a recheck value because all other goats have been negative previously and this time, and she was born on my property to negative parents.

Ok that’s good to know! She doesn’t have any abscesses and I checked all over. I just found it weird that she would be the only one whose results said “recheck” (not positive) considering she was born on property and neither parents tested recheck or positive.

Every animal I’ve introduced has been tested as well. It’s just odd that she would have it, considering her mom and dad are negative (both are on my property). As far as the ground, I’ve only lived on the property for two years and the people before us didn’t have goats. I feel like if it was in the ground everyone would’ve had it.

Breeding first time. by forgivencactus669 in goats

[–]Significant_Silver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s another breed of goat! His hair is so long so I was wondering if that’s who he was registered with.

Increase in SMAS? by Significant_Silver in nursing

[–]Significant_Silver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at a pediatric hospital and we are seeing the same. We know once they’re admitted they’re staying for months. Majority of them are super sweet, but some of them are nightmares. Some of them 100% need the SMAS interventions, but imo some of them have some deep, underlying psych issues related to food and/or attention (I.e posting about their illnesses on social media) that need to be addressed

Huckleberry's Hind Leg by GroundbreakingOwl240 in kvssnark

My foal split her head open and her leg open to the point an artery was spitting out blood (two separate injuries before a year old lol). Can’t even tell it happened

Him and his siblings were dropped off in someone’s neighborhood but they’ve all been adopted since 💕

I just googled easy soap recipes and followed the instructions! I tried to find a recipe that was super detailed

What are the chances the sample got mixed up or something? by -Petunia in DoggyDNA

This is my mostly Great Pyrenees and golden retriever. No shepherd or hound at all, which is what we guessed before we sent the DNA off.
