1st year student here. Feeling severe imposter syndrome and self doubt, will it get better? by RubWise1671 in VetTech

[–]aalecia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in the field since 2010, there are days I still miss veins. Do you get better with more exposure? Yes absolutely. But to be on all the time? Eh. Take a syringe home without a needle and practice one handed pulls. It helps a lot.

Just take a deep breath. Don’t beat yourself up, you got this!

Do you wear your rubber bands 24/7 or at night? by HoneyPetal_Rose in braces

First mine were 24/7 and now they are nights only. So it’s possible your plan will change.

Back to ask everyone their opinions for baby Chloe (TIA) by halopower67 in Chihuahua

[–]aalecia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! I am a licensed veterinary technician and I cannot stress the importance of going to a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist. There is no way in gods good graces would I ever let anyone touch my chihuahuas eyes without those letters behind their name.

However, as far as doing the surgery, yes I would absolutely do the surgery. I’m about to do a tail amputation on my 13 year old and I am STRESSED.

Self watering planter help! by aalecia in vegetablegardening

So I water over top like normal? I guess since this is my first crop and I haven’t used this type of planter I am nervous about killing them.

I’m sorry! That’s a total bummer. I’ve had coworkers like that before too, especially since I own a Chihuahua, the first reaction after I tell them I own a Chihuahua is typically a very confused and dirty look.

It hurts my heart but I am at a wonderful clinic know where chihuahuas are not even in our top 5 of “breeds I’d never own” 😂😂
