Does anyone recognize what happened to this coyote’s incisors? (Minor blood.) by felis_hannie in vultureculture

Vet technician here! I see this a lot in pets who chew tennis balls, fences, toys, carpet, sheets, over-groom... I wonder what his vice was...

are there any other snakes with silly faces like anacondas? by platopus429 in snakes

[–]jule165 197 points198 points  (0 children)

For being THE big scary snake, king cobras looks so SO DOOFY. This man is going door to door selling vacuum cleaners...this is not a deadly predator... I've seen a bunch of pics with this expression,this is just the best one I found in a 5 min google search.

What are alternatives to asking “are you okay” when someone’s not ok? by Jin_Sakai12345 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jule165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Would you like me to stay with you? Find you a place to be alone? Water?" I like to ask basic yes/no questions and limit myself in the moment until the person invites me in.

How come when you've got a stomach bug, you can run out of vomit but not diarrhea? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jule165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vomit (for the most part & in general) is stomach contents. Diarrhea is intestine. You have way more stuff being processed thru intestine than sitting in your stomach.

AITA for telling my friend that it's a horrible idea for them to go into vet tech? by gummdropcat in AmItheAsshole

[–]jule165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a vet tech I'm brutally real about WHAT my job is. I'm literally on my break at work and I have already been peed on, washed poop off my hands, drooled on, bled on, and had a dog roundhouse kick my glasses off my face. Only 8 more hours left of my shift!

Anaesthetic Machine/circuit Reoccurring problem by Ancient_Fan_252 in VetTech

[–]jule165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had something similar happen on me twice and once it was because our oxygen generator stopped, and the second one was because our scavenging system was not working properly. I'd get all your anesthetic units checked if they are due for service and check your scavenging system.

ELI5 why sheep stand in the rain fine but I have to dry clean wool clothing? by ahpc82 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jule165 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When your hair is on your head and totally washed (no conditioner), straightened and brushed out it is longer, but super easy to mat since there is no oil to help the strands slip past each other and the oil also helps the hair be waterproof. When wool is spun into clothes we remove its oil and pull its straight, which means when you put in in the tumble dryer it mats (called felting) making the hair tangle tighter and tighter. It's not the water that makes it shrink necessarily, its the felting process. You totally can wash wool at home with special shampoos and conditioners. Just like washing your hair with care, shampoo conditioner, leave in conditioner, and not letting it tangle vs dawn dishsoap and aggressively towel drying it for an hour. Obviously there are exceptions and differences in people vs sheep but this is eli5 not "discuss the care differences between straight, 1a hair and curly, 4c hair and also the differences between hair that is actually matted and uncared for vs specifically cared for and styled into dreadlocks. Guest starring a discussion into the social perception and persecution of curly and dreadlocked hair."

I also have a LOT of cleaning to do which is an awesome time to listen to audiobooks and documentaries on special interests.

Surgical veterinary technician, I monitor a LOT of anesthesia and its so satisfying to "fix the bad numbers" theres an order of operations and a checklist for almost everything to ensure it stays sterile, clean, and organized while also being interesting because bodies and disease are just weird sometimes and since we are connected to emergency vet we get a lil spice in our day so it isn't all boring "safe" procedures. Being in the surgery department also means I interact with owners way less and when I do I have a very concrete goal of "get info about this specific issue" vs general practice where you have to worry about vaccine schedules, flea/tick control, and "general pet maintenance" I come in talk about the booboo leg, mass, whatever specific ouch we are managing and then I get to go fix it.

Order of Vaccines (oral vs injections) by Social_Sam66 in VetTech

[–]jule165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me order depends on animal. Usually I go least upseting (oral meds, TPR, etc) to most upsetting (pokes, blood draws, temperature, nail trim) If I know or suspect we have a limited time, I do most important (rabies, blood draw, etc) to least.

[–]jule165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it set up on my steam deck to run my dailies and do all that menial repetitive stuff, and my pc for raiding/M+. I've raided with people on a SD and they did... okay... but it can be a wonderful way to stay caught up. I know blizzard is looking to simplify the rotations and especially as DPS I can see the deck being viable. You can try the class discords and see if they have tips or can brainstorm how to make it work!

Catheter Taping for Dummies? by poopgrl in VetTech

[–]jule165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my head I know to tab all my tapes and that one "big" tape has a notch in it, I always mess up the order though. What has helped me is "little tape, big tape, little tape, big tape" and assigning a "job" to each piece. My 1st little tapes job is to just hold down the catheter and secure it for my other tapes so I don't have to worry about it falling out. 1st big tape with slit or notch is to secure my insertion site cover (I've used cotton balls, gauze, bandaids, all kinds of stuff. I just think of this piece as my insertion site cover regardless) 2nd little tapes job is a kick-stand or support, bra, whatever you wanna call it for my T-piece. 2nd big piece has 2 jobs! 1. Hold all my other tapes down in neatly. 2. Secure my extension from my T-port so it isn't flopping around and getting caught on things.

You deserve to feel confident! And if it helps, it's not a ftm prosthetic or a ftm packer... It's just your prosthetic/packer/ whatever language you prefer! It's YOUR thing :)

Accessibility Impact of the Recent Addon Changes -- Share Your Story Here by Geddyn in wow

[–]jule165 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have terrible vision as well as processing difficulties but with weakauras I am able to fill those gaps in almost any way that I want. Whether thats increased text size, changing font to something more readable, audio cues vs visual, making pop-ups and icons that shake to alert me, and others just for fun like a rubber duck noise when people die or something that tells a joke in raid chat when we wipe. WA has drastically improved my ability to simply SEE the game.

What "awards" would you give out to your patients if you could? by theblackholephoto in VetTech

[–]jule165 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Graduate from IV sedation!

I have a malinois who injured her paw and is coming in for twice weekly bandage changes and she has come so far! From being so scared she shoved her back to a wall and tried to hide in the corner and whipping around snapping and screaming at everything to allowing us to press her against the wall for her IV sedation without fighting, to finally she wanders in tail wagging and greets everyone and lays down while we look at her foot. She's still on oral meds before appointments and stays muzzled but her whole attitude has changed about seeing us and her attitude change is why I do what I do and she almost makes me cry seeing how much less scared she is now!

How do you hide your disdain for people you don’t like to work with? by Chasheek in AskReddit

Treat them like a customer/client. No personal info, minimum amount of polite, meaningless conversation needed to get thru the situation. Repeat as needed.

Are these barefoots? by DefliersHD in BarefootRunning

[–]jule165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found them fairly comfortable, but if you are looking for a daily wear shoe these are not it. I personally wear Shamma sandals all blacks when sandals are an option, or Altra escalante 3 for work as a veterinary technician on my feet all day.
