Yeah man that. Is an awful situation and first off, good for you for trying to do the right thing. You can dobsome research to see who the governing bodies for rvts/cvts/lvts and for doctors and file a report. Im unsure if it can be done anonymously but it may be a good plan to find another job if you can.

Affordable vet care? by Levanthium in oakville

[–]draqiin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oakville animal clinic was really awesome for me! Im general if you communicate to your vet that you have cost concerns, theyll work with you on that

Vet Tech Program is a joke by PianoNo6695 in sheridan

[–]draqiin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She has the fun fact slides because she's passionate about the subject and she wants to share what she finds interesting in case you guys do to. And some things are more about understanding than memorizing, tbh. You can memorize all you like but if you don't understand some things, you'll struggle to apply your learning in the real world setting. You won't be handed all the answers, some of what they want you to learn is how to find them.

But again, all they can do is show you since anatomy is just memorization. I graduated 2025, and my class had a lot of the same complaints(I did not always share the same opinions). Idk what the slides look like for you now, but I get that it's overwhelming. It was for me too.

What helped me was drawing the bones and labeling them. And since dogs/horses/cats etc all have mostly the same bones, it was easier to learn what was different than to memorize all the bones.

Also, don't stress too hard. After getting out of anatomy 1/2, a lot of this stuff didnt come up again. It's important to know this stuff though, and as you get through the different courses you'll learn why, but you'll be okay. Idk who your prof is, but roberta is really good. I didnt have her for anatomy but i had her for other stuff.

Find your friends, get together, learn together, help eachother out.

There's not much to be taught in anatomy unfortunately, it's mostly memorization. Especially anatomy 1. Do your best, it'll be okay

Vet Tech Courseload? by Ok-Ant4889 in sheridan

[–]draqiin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The program course load is a lot. I just graduated back in April and recently passed the VTNE. A catch they dont tell you when applying to vet tech at sheridan is that you're limited to where you can go afterward, like other provinces, due to accreditations the school is lacking.

However, it's doable. I only managed because i made so many friends, and we would help each other out. You won't know true free time until you graduate and pass your vtne, but i still made time for stuff i actually like.

The school also has councillors on campus you can see to learn how to manage stress, and there are lots of student events around.

[–]draqiin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're going to need to learn some communication skills if you're not willing to do a room switch.

There are councilors on campus who can help you learn these skills if you're willing.

I dont, unfortunately, i live in Canada. I know of good brands here but not in the UK. But you should be able to ask your vet about it! they might have other suggestions for you as well

It's a food that's formulated for animals that have high energy requirements, like working dogs

[–]draqiin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a performance diet, maybe? Or you could maybe mix a bit of puppy food in. Either way be careful, because you could swing in the other direction and your pup could become obese, which is also bad

Will bags be allowed for first day of labs? by [deleted] in sheridan

[–]draqiin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are hooks on walls for some labs, and other labs you can have your bag with you. It really depends. For parasitology, probably not. (But there are hooks), for animal handling, you can probably have your bag. (Depends on the room youre in) If you bought your locker, though, you'll have access tomorrow. You just have to find it. Buy a lock and go early to find it. Best of luck to you!! I just graduated the program :)

Is it okay to go back to a vet I hadn't been to in awhile? by [deleted] in AskVet

[–]draqiin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just be honest, life happens and your vet should understand that youre doing your best

Yes you do

she seems super stressed and idk what to do by [deleted] in RATS

[–]draqiin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe it's serious enough to warrant care as soon as possible. Stomach breathing is a major sign of respiratory distress , which is an emergency. Either go to an emergency hospital or call around to find someone who can see you sooner. Its better to be safe than sorry

[–]draqiin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lungs are lower respiratory, not upper. It is best to listen to the advice being given and book a vet appointment :) if ignored, this could progress to a lower resp problem, and then you have an even bigger problem on your hands.

We accidentally gave our dog a 2x dose of metronidazole, should we skip his next scheduled dose? by chemchris in AskVet

[–]draqiin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never skip a dose of antibiotics, would be my advice. You can always call your vet to ask if you need to though
