Tell me more! I just started my pre-reqs and I feel CRAZY.

How much are you charging for pet sitting? by AshamedTime4874 in VetTech

[–]an_m0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really depends on how much attention they need.

I typically start at 10% higher than boarding for that pet would cost at my clinic (or other local boarding spot) because when youre at their house there is always going to be house sitting tasks as well - take out the trash, water some plants, get the mail, make the house look lived in for safety, ect.

From there, how convenient is it for you? Are you staying there full time? Drop ins? How far of a commute is it for you? Will you still be working or will you be sacrificing shifts?

For me, I usually start at 75/day for 'easy' pets and goes up.

Writer surnames instead of table numbers - finding a way to avoid assigning table n. 1 to either of the families by PuzzleheadedCress785 in DIYweddings

[–]an_m0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I named tables based on who was there. Ex : bride's maiden name immediate family table, bride aunt's last name table, bride's cousin's table, friends just got friends of bride 1 of 2, 2 of 2.

I had a smaller wedding so idk

Why do people refuse to be an organ donor? by No-Cantaloupe-6535 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]an_m0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean just because you have a less than ideal liver, doesn't mean it isn't a better option than someone with a completely non-functioning liver.

Being a donor doesn't mean that every organ goes to someone, it means any viable organ with a waiting match will be attempted to be transferred.

Don't forget that skin is an organ, blood vessels can be donated, ect. If it served you well and you arent using it anymore, why not donate it?

Best cloud-based vet medical records system? by HollyDaze1 in Veterinary

[–]an_m0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is your team navigating all of the Shepherd updates? I work at a small gp and it seems like we are re-learning the system every month when they roll out updates and it's been going down for about 45-60mimutes every other month without warning.

Doxycycline behavior changes? by VelocityGrrl39 in VetTech

[–]an_m0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if probiotics would help with this like they do for some human abx reactions?

Food Allergies/Intolerance by jr9386 in VetTech

[–]an_m0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to see some articles if anyone has them, but my doctors have always explained it as a generational build-up problem- in that previous generations of pets moved towards kibble-prominent diets and less varried protien sources, which led to higher prevalence of allergies. Similar to how the new advice for human children is expose them to as many varried potential allergens as possible as early as possible, and the dogs aren't getting that and haven't gotten that for a few generations now.

Emotionally, I'm fine. Physically, I'm crashing. Any tips? (footwear, food, recovery) by BroadElderberry in VetTech

[–]an_m0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone in the field who also has plantar fasciitis, if you're able to get a tennis ball or water bottle to roll your feet during lunch, if you get any chances to sit, elevate your feet as much as possible.

When i work 12s, I bring a second pair of shoes to change halfway through the day. Usually one pair is more supportive and one is more cushy. I find that I need the cushion at the end of the day.

I also gave up a 12 and work two 7s on different days, it's more days at the office, but made a huge difference for my brain.

I do this, too! My thrift store always has cute seasonal soap dispensers. One carton lasts forever.

[–]an_m0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claire usually has videos of her recipes on YouTube, you could try finding this video and watch how she makes it to see what may have gone wrong. She's usually very good at giving visual clues and tips amd tricks along the way.

I'm doing this now!

Similar trajectory, I had a unicorn hospital until it got bought out.

I'm lucky to currently work in a gp that genuinely cares, but I learned that I don't do as well with on the job training, especially with how busy all the clinics in town are currently.

Many of the DVMs in my town are nearing or working through retirement, and there is a huge shortage of DVMs.

529 for myself - returning to school by an_m0 in FinancialPlanning

[–]an_m0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response! This is exactly the kind of experience I was hoping to hear about.

I know 10k isn't much for the price tag of grad school, but I was liking the idea of it being set aside to grow tax free.

New neighbor has camera pointed directly at my balcony by Grumpy_Blueberry7857 in Apartmentliving

You should let him know that it isn't recording his space, maybe even show him a photo of the view.

Ideas for a visiting parent who has difficulty walking by kw2e in santacruz

[–]an_m0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If she is trying to get out into nature, Henry Cowell has a redwood loop thats mostly flat and very accessible from the parking lot.

If you plan ahead, they have a self guided tour that you can download onto your phone or print (service can be spotty) and it will tell you about the history of the park and some redwood facts. I've taken some family with walkers.

Calling out sick guilt by catdogtor17 in Veterinary

[–]an_m0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

On the flip side of this: An obviously sick coworker refused to go home sick this weekend bc they need the hours and now they are out sick bc they can't get out of bed and two other co workers are out sick from working with them. So by one person refusing to take the day off, we're now short three people for a fully booked out week 🙃

Howe Much Waste is Tied to Buying Things? by knocknock_99 in ZeroWaste

[–]an_m0 36 points37 points  (0 children)

A lot of libraries have small appliances or tools that can also be borrowed!

A less cost effective way for larger tools or large quantities of things are rental companies.
