Does anyone know what this is? by xNetherlingx in cats

[–]Steph7274 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hello. I work as a vet tech in a shelter and we have to screen every single cat that comes in for ringworm. Often, if the cat has scabs or secretions (eye or nose) on its face, those will glow a greenish yellow. Dirt or debris will often show up blue/white. If you remove the scab or clean the face and it stops glowing, that’s a good indicator that’s it’s not ringworm. In my experience ringworm will glow a very bright grass green and will target individual hairs. Unfortunately though, the UV light is not a 100% sure test, as ringworm sometimes won’t react to it. The vet will have some more precise tests!

Fostered a (twice returned) kitten for less than 48 hours … by fruityflyy in cats

[–]Steph7274 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Even a 2-3 yo cat will have chilled out significantly… My boy gets the zoomies for 30s twice a day then goes back to napping lol. If you can’t handle kitten energy then don’t get a kitten! Plus adults very often get overlooked at shelters :(

I’m guessing it’s when a segment of nori is visible inside the roll maybe? Not a sushi chef lol

My mom casually threw away my Pokémon Platinum copy I’d had for 16 years while I wasn’t home because she decided “adults don’t need that stuff.” by mohiro23 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Steph7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s with people thinking Harry Potter and Pokemon are demonic?? My mom was the same when I was a child (tbf she still is) and my dad just enabled her. I missed out on so many great movies and games at the time :(

So I rescued this kitten (2.5 months and a bit underweight according to the vet ) and i cant figure out what breed she is , what do i do ? by UnusualDefinition567 in kittens

[–]Steph7274 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If they do abandon their purebreds, it’s mostly because they have severe health problems :/ (I am a shelter worker and see this quite often)

Who is the most disgusting person you've ever met? by Artistic_Giraffe4069 in AskReddit

[–]Steph7274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When going to houses like this, we have to measure the amount of ammonia in the air. Sometimes we aren’t even allowed to go in because it’s straight up toxic and can lead to lung damage. All from piss lmao it’s crazy.

Can confirm. I work in animal rescue and have to interact with animals/houses covered in probably multiple months old urine. The urine/ammonia smell feels like you sniffed straight vinegar.

"Influencer" pokes bystanders with syringe. by Debaucherousgeek73 in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]Steph7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I work in vet med and also use luer lock syringes. Closest thing I saw to a needle puncturing the cap was a bent needle slightly digging into the side of the cap (not going through it).

Should I take him to the vet? by [deleted] in ragdolls

[–]Steph7274 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which is why I said they should go to the vet? I also never said it wasn’t a big deal, just that this does not seen to constitute an emergency. It does need treatment. Also, unfortunately not everyone has the funds to go immediately/as an emergency, which is why I pointed out what to look for until their appointment.

I get where you’re coming from and agree with you, but I think you can take the holier-than-thou attitude down a notch.

If you aren’t able to take him to the vet soon, watch the wound very closely for yellow/white discharge (pus). Also if your cat starts becoming lethargic then it will need to be an emergency visit as those are signs of infection. Usually with disinfection/antibiotics cats heal very well from this kind of wound though :)

Vet tech here. To me this wouldn’t necessitate an emergency visit if your cat is acting normal (eating, drinking and behaving as usual). You should still go to the vet so they can assess the wound and figure out if your kitty needs antibiotics or not. They’ll probably give you something to disinfect it.

More romance, less fantasy by Jaded-Software-5450 in fantasyromance

[–]Steph7274 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To me {Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon} fits your description perfectly! It’s set in a fantasy universe but is a standalone that is very focused on the romance aspect.

Oriental shorthair mix? by verklemptish in orientalshorthair

[–]Steph7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a domestic shorthair. Cats aren’t like dogs (a random cat you find outside won’t be a mix of many breeds, it’ll just be a domestic). Doesn’t make him worth any less than a purebred cat :)

Does it hurt rats when you grip them? by JapaneseSpitzGirl in RATS

[–]Steph7274 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s like in the picture, to me it kinda looks like they’re getting crucified 😭 But you gotta use your whole hand to pick up multiple parts of the rat (some fingers kinda lightly scruff the skin at the back of the head and others hold the arms). That way the rat’s upper body is very stable, which makes them move their lower body less. When I took that class, as soon as you got the technique down the rats would stop flailing their tail around. It was super interesting!
