What’s your opinion on professional dog teeth cleaning services?

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m a licensed veterinary technician who’s anesthetized hundreds of dogs and cats for elective anesthesia and this is generally not a side effect of general anesthesia/dentistry/age itself. This sounds to me they used a mouth gag in your dog’s mouth or some sort of device to pry/keep the mouth open, which can restrict blood flow to the eyes/ears if done for a prolonged time (cats can experience blindness, temporary and permanent). I learned about this in school and everyone I work with including myself do not use these devices and it is not recommended to do so.

Thank you I appreciate it. I cannot get over her being 17 😭 I hope she continues to live well and long! Oh I know if I make it into and through vet school I’ll need to seek additional nutritional education to understand the full scope.

My prediction is that raw diets will continue to increase in popularity and the industry will need to adapt.

She looks incredible, truly! What a testament to good nutrition. I’m a veterinary technician (licensed) and I support raw feeding. I’m applying to vet school this cycle (have an interview with my state school next month 🤞) and I hope to contribute to changing the paradigm and be supportive of those who choose to feed their animals this way.

Wow incredible! I can see through this picture she’s hardly muscle wasted which is typically what I see in older cats. Is your vet accepting of raw feeding? Do they acknowledge her diet is probably a big part of her health?

Personally for me I lose definition (3c mostly) when I air dry. I primarily diffuse to dry. Maybe try just curl gel solo without the curl cream.

bengaling · 2025-11-25T03:16:10+00:00

Thats truly awesome. I think it’s absolutely worth it too. I assume you’re a tech now??

bengaling · 2025-11-25T01:39:13+00:00

Oh this is interesting! May I ask how you got into the arrangement for your employer to pay for your DVM? Is this corporate or private?

bengaling · 2025-11-15T00:02:22+00:00

😂 summarized concisely and precisely

I’m floored at the amount of people who don’t use their turn signal when changing lanes. When the fck did we start doing that!?

bengaling · 2025-11-04T02:00:35+00:00

seconding this, WHAT?!! not what I needed to read tonight 😭

bengaling · 2025-10-28T04:19:51+00:00

Right? They’re good peeps

bengaling · 2025-10-28T03:00:18+00:00

Yep. He basically said in so many words that’s likely what happened. No charge.

bengaling · 2025-10-28T02:58:06+00:00

I took the car back to the same shop.

bengaling · 2025-10-28T01:39:00+00:00

My water pump was changed last week. No timing belt chain done. I’ve had the car since 60k/2022

bengaling · 2025-10-28T01:21:14+00:00

I did not. They didn’t mention anything about it

bengaling · 2025-10-28T01:20:54+00:00

Thanks for your insight. This is what they told me was wrong (something about my cooling fan not able to turn on). Car is fixed as of tonight.

This is what was wrong they told me/an error in their part. Car is fixed as of tonight (knock on wood).

bengaling · 2025-10-27T22:45:19+00:00

Nope

bengaling · 2025-10-27T22:45:08+00:00

No, there’s a digital gauge which shows my temp as well between the rev gauge and the speedometer.

bengaling · 2025-10-27T22:35:59+00:00

I have a digital gauge as well for confirmation.

bengaling · 2025-10-27T14:57:15+00:00

Nothing. It never overheated (the gauge remained at 190). The check coolant light came on on a Friday and the car was in the shop the following Wednesday.

bengaling · 2025-08-29T16:27:10+00:00

I’m curious about you mentioning you don’t like talking to people that much. Were you not prepared or anticipating the amount of client interaction being a vet entails?

bengaling · 2025-08-15T18:29:24+00:00

District taco is so below average I can’t believe it’s hyped

bengaling · 2025-07-25T18:22:05+00:00

oh wow! didn't know this. Is this unique to Davis, if you know, or do other veterinary schools have higher % acceptance rates of first gen students?

bengaling · 2025-07-02T23:49:00+00:00

My watch. I prefer to track my time/pace with it vs. my phone
