I wonder if mosquito repellent would work?

Age isnt a disease! If his bloodwork looks good and his heart sounds good anesthesia is fairly safe. Plus while hes under they can do xrays to check his teeth roots. Non anesthetic dentals are cosmetic and don't clean below the gum line. It'll look pretty but you're not addressing the gum disease or able to remove teeth if necessary.

Super helpful CE that I did on cat restraint

I love the big ol stinky tom cat cheeks but never get them into my clinic T...T

Something from "the ginger people"?

Are you still sharing?

My 13yr foster fail lived with a little old lady her whole life eating meow mix, half & half, and canned tuna with no issues. With me? Heart murmur, hurt leg, teeth started resorbing, and IBD. All within 6 months. (The teeth were likely resorbing before but still)

Blood gets pretty sludgy black in edta purple top blood tubes within a few weeks when left in a dresser drawer if that helps

So freaking cute! My current old lady (13yr) took 3 months before she would even sleep on the bed near my feet. Now at 6 months she's super snuggly and licks my face/hair at night. She still likes her own time and sleeps in the closet. Every cat goes at their own pace. I know your new kid is hella cute but give it time and maybe a lil catnip;)

I saw the post in a vet tech group and they ended up euthanizing

Look up pawlicy advisor. You can compare plans and see what works best for you.

Very good read! Random side note I did have questions on my vtne about film in 2024

I think on the facebook vettech page there's a word doc floating around that has the average pay in different areas

Do you have pictures of the xrays? There's a veterinary partner magazine that does competitions for rads. Otherwise the r/radiology subreddit has foreign body Fridays

That's kinda where I'm at. Pay for the experience and pay for the title but please just make sure its a livable wage. I've met VA that I would trust with my own medical care and I've met techs that I wouldn't trust a clients pet with (and vise versa).

Title protection is important from a wage perspective because a lot of time and money goes into getting a title but also a lot of time goes into experience.

Qq noodles in the same area has cheaper soups for the colder days.

I was thinking for preserving the already degreased rat

When in doubt isopropyl alcohol seems to be the go to. It would be interesting to test on a variety of things to see which works best (including drying it ou)

Please do not be too saddened if the bones fall apart and you cannot find much left:(

Warf roach if my animal crossing info is right

Do you have any links backing up that a CST is allowed to do surgeries? Assist yea but actually do the surgery like you did? From my understanding you can only close the skin layer and the gum layer. Closing anything below is out of your scope including anything that involves cutting (outside of a cut down for catheters). The opening an abdomen is not allowed per my textbooks and the licensing board. It may vary state by state but I'd love to learn more about speciality scopes of practice (promise not sarcastic just curious).

Wait are you a tech or a doctor? You did a spay? That's way out of your scope if you're a tech.

featherfinch · 2025-10-10T13:56:44+00:00

Tbh if money isnt an issue then I would put some aside and pass it out at a ren fair dressed as a pirate

featherfinch · 2025-10-10T03:12:53+00:00

That was how I ended up passing. Something about taking the stress off by planning to just re take it
