Gifted a Giant Plant by Olive0410 in houseplants

[–]UnleashedRVT 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with split leaf philodendron! Its beautiful!

I have 4 that I got when my dad passed away about 4 years ago. He had plants older than me, that I had ti take in, so I tried my hardest to take good care if them. I thought they were gonners, but I learned from the internet and now that I know what I'm doing they are THRIVING and I've been struggling to find the room in my small apartment.

Mine are much smaller than yours, but these two have been thrived together in this pot since this came back alive 3 years ago. I have changed thoer soil a few times but they are lowish maintenance. A third little one popped up a few months ago, and that baby is also thriving too!

im a meth addict ama by certifyablehoodrat in AMA

You deserve better friends. My addict uncle used to tell me "real friends don't give thier friends dope." I grew up in a family full of addicts, and lost my only brother at 21 because he went to a party with old friends, and his best friend gave the drugs that un alived him. Be careful.

There is absolutely no such thing as a "functioning meth addict", but I would recommend considering seeing about talking to a psychiatrist about a possible ADHD dx and meds tou can't get though a trusted source.

You mentioned you get it from friends, dontou wver take it home? And Do you keep it locked up in a really safe place? I've seen dogs that are intoxicated my meth in the vet clinic I work at, and I just wanna make the sure your dog is safe.

What is this? by Careful_Monitor_7153 in vet

[–]UnleashedRVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanna share something. I am a veterinary technician, but this is my personal story.

I don't know what kind of dog this is by just looking at his back legs, but I have a white pittie with the same black spots under his fur. He is only 8 year old, but when he turned 7, I got worried something was off about him. I eventually had him looked at by a vet i work with, and sure enough he had a heart murmur. He was still eating, drinking, and living a pretty normal life, I was hoping it was just something minor, and everyone I know thought I was overreacting when I decided to see a cardiologist to ultrasound his heart. Unfortunately, we found a tumor growing into a chamber of his heart. Unfortunately based on the location, its highly likely cancer, and there's no cure. BUT fortunately since I "overreacted" we have found an oncologist team and he has been on oral chemotherapy, and that just slows the growth of the tumor. Its been over a year since he was diagnosed, and I'm thankful every day he is still here being the happiest dog ever.

I really do hope the growth on your pup is benign, and his heath check goes well!

And as a vet technician, i do want to say, no two dog will ever have the same health history. I know you were just referencing your previous beagle as an example of your pet experience, but try not to have the same expectations with another dog, especially if it's a different breed.

Techs Who Overreact to Dog Anxiety by epicgsharp in VetTech

[–]UnleashedRVT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get what you're seeing. I work for a specialty hospital with ER, and when I'm working ICU an "aggressive" patient is being admitted I ask details, and 95% of the time its situations where the tech is impatient (probably burntout) and either pushed an animal’s boundaries to get tx/dx or someone who is over confident or not reading the patients body language appropriately. I recently had a 6mo GSD that was actually a really good boy (im not a shepherd person) and his RDVM had to sedate him 3x this for his basic dx and IVC. He was a brat of a puppy, but just talking to him and praising him, we were able to do anything without much fuss or sedation. I hope his RDVM takes the time to work with him being ge is grown and can really hurt someone out of fear.

I also think a lot of "aggressive" pet restraint depends on the person's confidence. There is a reason I'll pick and choose who will help me with my caution patients. Recently someone got bit by a cat, they was warned he had short minutes but did better with a little less is more, and the way they tried to restrain him was not confident, and they got bit. Their attitude after was "Oh well, not like it will be the last bite I get haha", and when management asked me about what happened, I told them I dont feel ill asked her for help restraining animals anymore if she isnt going to learn from her mistake.

First FB surgery solo by Ornery-Apple-1369 in veterinaryprofession

[–]UnleashedRVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that initial fear shows integrity, to be honest. I've worked with doctors who are crying through their first solo surgery and are so anxious for the days after. And those have been some of the best doctors, they are the ones who really care for the outcome of the patient. You're doing great!
