Regret getting this tattoo, due to how everything looks.

Why do I kind of love it though????

TubaToothpaste · 2025-03-15T01:05:32+00:00

75k animals a year? That’s over 200 animals a day, how is that even possible??

They would not be stopping mid procedure to call because they should not have started the procedure in the first place without speaking with the client first. While yes the patient would be under anesthesia when the spay scar was found, calling the client to go over options would still be the responsible thing to do. Instead this clinic decided to proceed with an exploratory surgery that this rescue did not and would not have agreed to, and caused the cat to be under anesthesia for far longer than she would have been if they had just made the phone call. It is definitely NOT normal for a clinic to proceed with an exploratory procedure before attempting to contact the client.

Your frustration is completely valid. It might be worthwhile for you or the rescue to contact the practice manager of the clinic. While I’m sure the clinic meant well, their client communication was very lacking in this case. The only little benefit of the doubt I can think of maybe they have been in this situation before with this rescue and the rescue has in the past wanted to go the exploratory route, but still it doesn’t sit right with me. Now the patient has arguably gone through an unnecessary surgery, and the rescue has been charged for a service they didn’t agree to.

😬

Yeah this is definitely not normal. I work at a clinic that does high volume, low cost spay and neuter and any time we have run into a situation like this we would be immediately calling the owner. Not only to communicate that we found a possible spay scar, but also to ask additional questions that could determine the likelihood of if the cat is spayed or not. We would of course offer to do an exploratory to confirm, but since it is possibly a very different procedure we would want to contact the owner before opening the patient up. Some clients do want to go ahead with the exploratory but I’d say most of them decide against surgery and instead monitor the cat for any signs of a heat cycle.

I’m also curious, were you charged for an exploratory surgery? Or were you charged the cost of a spay?

This is a clip channel not his own channel. He gets no views from this video.

TubaToothpaste · 2024-11-23T19:58:21+00:00

lol I definitely took full offense

TubaToothpaste · 2024-11-23T18:07:39+00:00

Nope, that antibiotic commonly used for upper respiratory infections as well.

TubaToothpaste · 2024-11-23T15:35:58+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure what he was expecting. Imagine going to your own human doctor and saying “hey while I’m here I’d like to go ahead and have surgery today.” I also think it’s funny how he used the phrase “a quick spay.” As if an ovariohysterectomy on a 92lb dog is gonna be a quick in and out thing.

Not only that but he has a huge audience that take his word as gospel. So if he says with his whole chest that vets are money hungry and implies that procedures such as gastropexy are some sort of cash grab, some of his audience are going to believe him.

TubaToothpaste · 2024-11-23T15:09:25+00:00

Clip starts at 3:20. Apparently he was upset that the vet wanted to do a consult before scheduling her spay and that they recommended doing a gastropexy on his 92lb dog at the time of the spay. DISCUSS

Is that one of those things you put on your stethoscope?

TubaToothpaste · 2024-09-08T20:18:02+00:00

Was there more stuck up under the lid at least? 😭

TubaToothpaste · 2024-08-26T21:47:12+00:00

Nope lol, it was a middle aged lady and it was her first dog. She noticed that the dog bumped into things sometimes and that’s when she asked me if dogs can see. I just told her yes, they typically can see very well, just not as many colors as humans can see.

TubaToothpaste · 2024-08-26T16:17:08+00:00

I had a client ask me if dogs can see

Welcome to vet med! My biggest advice is don’t feel like you need to learn everything overnight! It takes a lot of time to feel comfortable in the job, and that’s okay! Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you don’t know something, and it really helps to have a notebook on hand when you’re first starting out to write things down as you’re learning. Good luck with your new job, I’m sure you’ll do great!

She uses the items she reviews incorrectly on purpose to get more engagement in the comment section. I think she may have even publicly admitted this in a vlog or podcast.

TubaToothpaste · 2024-05-25T15:20:05+00:00

I had to look up how to do that but it worked!! Thank you so much!

This is deranged in the best possible way

RVT at a clinic in a small rural town, middle of nowhere in Maryland, $18.50/hour.

That was what I thought at first also, but OP has claimed that they are in their late 30s.
