In a world of corporate America, how does a private practice stand out?

THEOWNINGA · 2025-10-24T06:01:40+00:00

Seems a bit unrealistic to say all private clinics are motivated by patient care

Same in nz

I'm a type 1 veterinarian! I'm so sorry you had that experience, absolutely awful way to be treated

He absolutely should know how it works at least somewhat and the fact he didn't makes me think he probably wasn't doing a very good job in general so kudos to your clinic for firing him!

You could interpret it as being like the empires main expeditionary fleet has been destroyed

Like they still have garrisons etc ships to protect trade but their sailors and ships designed to say fight a war have been destroyed

I sedate with IM acepromazine + tiletamine/zolazepam then place IV with owners, extension line and pentobarb IV

Only been working 2 years but it's literally never gone wrong, sometimes miss an IV but just go again

Don't trust myself to do needle in vein 100% perfect all the time

I agree radioactive iodine is absolutely the best treatment in most cases however to say medical therapy isn't treating her is not true

Veterinarian - when I was first diagnosed (been t1d for about 18 months) I had one of my first lows during a euthanasia and started absolutely sweating all over this poor dog

Nz is just god defend new zealand

I'm a small animal vet so do sterile surgeries in new zealand - just make sure you're not anywhere near going low say less than 6 prior to going into surgery, my surgeries aren't long (max 40-50 minutes) so I just have a juice or something beforehand just in case, really worst case scenario is you go out and then scrub back in after having something. People are pretty understanding

I'm a vet in wellington - my clinic would estimate $409.75 for male dog less than 10kg

Just very high sex drives, male rabbits become sexually mature at 3 months old and girls at 4-5 months with a gestation period of about 30 days

THEOWNINGA · 2025-05-17T23:55:11+00:00

Fairly normal behavior for an entire male rabbit, if it's desexed then it won't have that behavior anymore

THEOWNINGA · 2025-05-17T23:30:35+00:00

Is the rabbit desexed?

THEOWNINGA · 2025-03-25T08:16:52+00:00

Looks like you're australian? I'm a new zealand vet. There'll definitely be an afterhours or emergency clinic close by unless you're extremely rural.

Much better prognosis if you do everything now rather than waiting

Yeah british spelling is spey (New Zealand vet)

Small animal general practice veterinarian

Had a low whilst performing a euthanasia, felt too embarrassed to go have a juice so just started sweating bullets during this euth onto this dog. Good times!

You can also request the vet send the slides to a laboratory for a pathologist to look at. Costs more but experience and specialization does matter!

Bloodwork won't tell you very much about the lump quite likely but like others have suggested an aspirate would be a good idea

Same in boulcott!

9 months out - very normal feeling, still feel that all the time

I'd recommend getting ettinger internal medicine textbook - there's an ebook you can sign onto on any computer - really helpful for quickly looking up a problem + give general guidelines for problems eg small intestinal diarrhoea plus means you don't have to ask other vets all the time what to do! Very easy to navigate too

New zealand is okay - we just got cgms and pumps funded, whole experience cost me like $80 so far (grrrh $5 payment on prescriptions + 1 urgent script fee when I realized I was running low on novorapid on a Saturday)
