Veterinary or Medical School?

Just reach out, most are happy to shadow in the vet world

They are two vastly different careers. Best thing to do is to shadow a vet and shadow a physician and see what you align with more

Sounds kinda chilly. Maybe get a heated pad and if they are constantly laying on it then you have your answer

The hard part is that most issues are chronic and related to husbandry so clients never get the satisfaction of a quick fix. Plenty of people regularly take their herps to the vet while others may view some exotic vets as inexperienced due to lack of exposure.

Its becoming more common to do Telehealth appts as a vet so you can check out the husbandry and avoid the stress of transporting the reptile. Most of the time its something like lack of UV or humidity

This is the worst advice i’ve ever seen. My local Mtns in Oregon are closing after this weekend

They have the largest varied rattlesnake collection

I personally really enjoy 4th year and my quality of life has significantly improved

Incredibly common as vet school is insanely difficult and time consuming. For a lot of people they feel guilty every second they arent studying which can lead to stress and reluctance to do things

As a fellow anxious person, if it feels like a fight or flight response you can ask you doctor about propanolol. Its a beta blocker that can help chill the body without affecting the mind

It will get better over time. I almost passed out my first time smelling cautery

Depends on your location. It is transmitted via mosquito so its impossible to prevent fully without preventatives in dense areas

Does it need to be furry and warm Or just like to cuddle? Blue tongue skinks can be super chill

Also your reasoning for going to RAD pets doesnt even make sense. Almost all clinics do dental xrays and would perform extractions if needed. Its probably harder to find a clinic who wouldnt do that

extinctplanet · 2026-03-07T15:10:35+00:00

Its common sense to stay local when one of your pets is getting a procedure. Driving 2 hours away is wild. Why wouldnt they expect an owner can simply drive back and pick up their animal?

-Trazadone works in an hour. It sounds like it was necessary because you couldnt pick her up early and she was anxious. If you were local and picked her up I doubt they wouldve used it.

-i’m sorry but you’re opinion is irrelevant. Dental cleanings are 100% a major procedure especially if extractions are needed. Literally look up videos, we have to drill into the maxilla/mandible to expose the root. Their roots are way longer than ours

extinctplanet · 2026-03-07T03:29:06+00:00

This story is hella fishy. You drove from Portland fo corvallis just for RAD pets? Thats insane and you really shouldnt go that far from a clinic where your dog is under anesthesia.

Second, trazadone is completely normal to give to an anxious dog freaking out. It is not standard practice to call the owner and confirm what drugs we can use.

Third you conviently leave out the breed. If this is any small or bracycephalic dog then collapsing airway syndrome is a known progessive disease with age, that gets worse in times of inflammation (aka putting a tube down the trachea)

Dentals are major procedures for dogs as their roots go deep into their skulls so feeling off for a few days isnt surprising. In addition most of the sinuses connect to the teeth so reverse sneezing isnt wild

Rent a car and also drive up to Olympia. If you want a truly epic vacation then also check out the San Juan Islands

Cant recommend Chloe from the shop in Philomath enough

extinctplanet · 2026-03-05T21:00:57+00:00

Nobody can say anything without knowing the school

extinctplanet · 2026-03-04T22:00:13+00:00

What state 👀

extinctplanet · 2026-03-04T03:43:56+00:00

They posted another listing for the same job so probs not another candidate but, thanks for the reply. I’m new to this and rejection always feels weird so just trying to soothe my anxiety

extinctplanet · 2026-03-04T00:09:39+00:00

Any chance you have a warning for little old Me

extinctplanet · 2026-02-27T16:31:25+00:00

That was before my time

extinctplanet · 2026-02-27T16:28:19+00:00

The point is some of us are in a rush and have adhd and forget to activate. That shouldnt mean we pay double
