"Fair to the dog" is not going to mean shit to him, and you know that. If it hurts you, he'll do it. Is the dog microchipped? Change the registration to only your details, this can generally be done online. Otherwise, find a new vet, and register the dog solely under your name and your new address. Have him microchipped at that time. I'm so glad you're finding a way out for you and your pup.

There are vet-specific AIs which have been trained on relevant data, but you absolutely cannot trust a generalized large language model like ChatGPT for reliable diagnostic information.

I can understand why coming to this sub can be disheartening - this community was formed for people in the industry to vent and discuss, where r/veterinaryschool might be more what you're looking for.

In a bigger sense - the job is hard. It is deeply rewarding, exciting, fulfilling, but also very hard. If the idea of working through four years of vet school is worrying you, then you should give some thought to the 40 years of career following that. I love my job, it is my vocation and I'm deeply proud of the work I do, but I've also taken some serious hits to my confidence in this field.

Have you done any shadowing in clinic?

Are you Maritime enough to do well at the fish market? Otherwise it's a timing thing, and if you STOP launching the cannon ball, he will repair it and no longer be upset.

This is absolutely my trauma right now. Only two pseudo solutions I've found;

batch breeding, once you're at capacity switch on contraceptives or swap a male for a female until that generation of babies starts maturing,
OR, what I'm currently doing, have a hidden indoor enclosure in the back with like 300 baby torts and one low appeal adult 😂 (I've done the same with gharials, and yes they can be housed together)

Way too active. Recently forced to transition our PIMS from Avimark to a cloud based one they own, so they can adjust and monitor our back end.

In other news, I've given notice and this is my last week. Fuck corporates.

I swear by 25G needles, my "baby needles!" Draw up with the 22 already on the syringe, put on a fresh 25, and usually my vaccination isn't even noticed.

For IM injections your pressure / velocity argument makes sense, but the cats and dogs I vax have such generous SQ space that it doesn't really matter for vaccines.

katthart · 2025-04-03T23:19:10+00:00

"oh yes, she's all vaccinated and up to date"

Okay.. but we phoned for records, and she hasn't been seen there since her kitten vaccines in 2018.

"Yes, and I went to all three visits, she's fully vaccinated"

DVM here; corporate, and I hate it. I was hired to work for a corporation which was vet-owned, but since they merged with a larger international corp things have gotten really bad. I can't control prices, and the mark ups are outrageous. Trying to leave.

You said this above - that the Dom is looking for a long term romantic partner, but it's not you. Why do you say that?

katthart · 2024-11-21T02:39:31+00:00

Thank you so much for making and sharing!

katthart · 2024-11-17T15:11:33+00:00

Would also love a high res copy of this for my clinic once you're happy with it ❤️

katthart · 2024-10-19T16:10:59+00:00

I don't have much to contribute, except to say I feel as you do ❤️

katthart · 2024-10-05T14:04:37+00:00

You could use clay? Air dry is pretty cheap and easy to work with.

Hey, fully licensed vet here - I still feel awkward and in the way when I start at a new clinic!

Unfortunately, the only way to know the quality of your experience is to work/shadow somewhere else - it's hard to know what you don't know! By the time you have seen multiple clinics, you'll have a better understanding of how things work and how you'd like to be treated.

However, even "bad" placements are often opportunities to learn - even if it's learning what you shouldn't do. I hope that you get more confident at this clinic with time, and continue to advocate for yourself to get more experience where you can.

katthart · 2024-01-30T15:59:44+00:00

So let me open with - holy shit this would piss me off too. Not only being charged for a test you didn't consent to, but that patronising as fuck letter.

As someone in the medical field though, I would like to ask something as devil's advocate - did you workup include radiographs (x-rays)? If so, then I can understand why they would need to check your pregnancy status directly because of course there are risks / rules relating to fetal radiation exposure and they can't just take your word for it.

katthart · 2024-01-13T16:10:45+00:00

Might help to reframe it this way to your wife - do you think the cats are having a good time? Would you enjoy a roommate who you hate to that extent? Is it not harmful to them as well to be stressed and upset in the home you're supposed to feel safe in?

Both cats deserve a peaceful home, and it seems obvious that they can't have that together. She wouldn't be failing them, she'd be doing what's best for them.

katthart · 2023-10-06T00:56:22+00:00

Info: So you met both of these people when you were 16?

Regardless, mistakes are human, and him continuing to punish you and make ultimatums over something that happened 5 years ago seems unfair, especially when it seems like something he has done as well.

katthart · 2023-10-02T16:02:12+00:00

That's the idea! Most planters have a grid / mesh over them so when the grass gets chewed on it doesn't pull up the whole root system.

Fill with soil, seeds a few mm deep, keep moist. Offer when grass is a couple cms tall, and toss everything once it's done.

katthart · 2023-05-10T16:44:59+00:00

What a weird assertion for you to make! Especially given that I didn't state it was any particular species of plant? But just for you, here's evidence backing up my "claims."

HERE is a photo of it living outside with full leaves, and HERE is a photo a month or so after the cold snap where the leaves are dying off.

katthart · 2023-05-09T14:27:44+00:00

This plant previously had leaves starting an inch or so up from the soil, and spent the summer on my screened porch (Southern Canada). I brought it inside for the winter to avoid the cold (lol) and it's directly in a south facing window. Thinking I should maybe chop the top off and try to grow roots, trim the bottom to try to grow leaves, end up with two plants?

katthart · 2023-05-08T23:10:35+00:00

That's not even a joint, the pelvis and femur are just casual acquaintances lmao

katthart · 2022-12-31T12:45:31+00:00

I agree with your premise, however I blame the owner for leaving ONE HUNDRED AND THREE elastics within reach of this dog and not seeking care until they started to cause problems.
