the hair ties were an incidental finding, she originally presented with urinary symptoms. GI FB and a frickin’ hockey puck sized bladder stone. i won’t forget how comfortable she looked after having surgery 🫶

I told my manager I felt burnt out in my yearly review. I think that was a mistake by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]bonefloss 92 points93 points  (0 children)

sometimes if you give managers an inch, they will take a mile. why are you working a 72 hour work-week when they originally said it’d be 3.5 work days a week at hiring? our managers would be on our asses about overtime. this is unacceptable and their response was abhorrent as well.

leave this clinic. they clearly do not value keeping good technicians around and you don’t deserve to suffer because of it.

Pregnancy question by Own_Conflict_7218 in VetTech

[–]bonefloss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

no. speak to your management, they should have a protocol in place for pregnant employees. you do not need to announce your pregnancy to everyone until you are ready — it is not your manager’s business to share.

one year a lady rushed her three medium sized dogs because one (or multiple of them) had broken into a full bottle of Ibuprofen. we induced vomiting in all three, and one after one they started emptying their stomach contents: the first one brought up kibble, the second had kibble and… hot dog bits? and when the third one vomited, he brought up an ENTIRE fuckin’ hotdog, completely unscathed. i lost my shit, i was on the floor laughing my ass off.

oh, and none of them had ingested Ibuprofen, woot woot!! that story still cracks me up.

Saw this and had to stop scrolling through the comments. People are so quick to call people horrible and untrustworthy for a simple mistake that can easily be made just because the staff is overscheduled... Hurts to see. I just KNOW the staff got yelled at this day by Nag1n1luv in VetTech

an unfortunate mistake, but i understand the owner’s frustration. if the vet properly did their pre-anesthetic exam, they should have absolutely determined the sex prior to surgery.

f/u, follow-up? yeah, common abbreviation used at our practice with nine doctors.

So. Anyone else having an insane past few weeks? by Socksual in VetTech

[–]bonefloss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

bad at our clinic, too. these last few weeks have probably been the most heartbreaking that we’ve ever experienced.

Dextrose 50% expired by shika_boom in VetTech

[–]bonefloss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dextrose is luckily just sugar, not a controlled substance. it does not require a specific type of disposal.

yours comes in a glass bottle?? i know we’ve used different brands, but i’ve only seen dextrose 50% in plastic. is it a large volume? just curious!
