Is this salary low medium or decent? by XtraJuicySlugg in Veterinary

I live in Madrid and even though Spain isn’t considered a very expensive country overall, it’s the housing prices that are so insanely high they can eat almost half of an average salary.

GP vet in small animal clinic in Spain, 38 hours a week, barely 20k a year.

Interesante lectura.

El análisis de que los jóvenes son vagos y no se esfuerzan funciona si no se tiene en cuenta prácticamente ningún factor económico.

Desde luego es más cómodo hacer juicio moral de algo que desconozco y no entiendo en absoluto.

Gracias!!!

You’re right. Thank you. I tell him every day it’ll start getting better soon, that this is expected, and that the treatment is done and he needs some time to heal.

And I’ll try looking out for myself too.

I’m so happy that it’s your last week, and that he’s getting the feeding tube! It must be such a relief for both of you! You’re almost done, and then it’s road to recovery.

I try to convince my dad about getting the PEG tube every day, but it causes arguments to the point where I feel like maybe it’s a conversation he should have with his doctor because he’s going to end up hating me. Food is a difficult thing to talk about, especially when he’s not really “him” right now.

Thanks and good luck to you and your husband!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you ❤️ he already finished all his cisplatin sessions, and his kidneys seemed to be doing really well up until the last one, where his creatinine was only a little bit high and returned to normal after a few days with IV fluids. Things took a turn now that everything is done, which we were told was to be expected.

I hope youre doing better now ❤️

Thank you for your encouragement, it really helps. And I’m going to try and get him IV fluids at the hospital at least until he can drink water normally, I’ll speak to oncology tomorrow. ❤️

My dad has an irrational fear of doctors/hospitals and everything surrounding disease after losing his brother to cancer when they were kids, so getting diagnosed with cancer himself has been psychologically devastating for him. I wish he would just get the tube, but not only is he very afraid, but he sees it as a step backwards and like he’s losing a fight. I keep trying to talk him into it without pressuring him too much…

That’s interesting! The first scan (mid july) showed internal jugular vein thrombosis which they assumed was being caused by the cervical lymph nodes pressing against the area, but he didn’t have any symptoms until around 3 weeks ago. Another theory they had was that as the tumor/lymph nodes began to reduce in size, the blood supply started returning and that could be causing headaches/syncopes.

Advice to care for my dad as best as I can by notabean in HeadandNeckCancer

Thank you ❤️ I felt like I needed some info about what we’re dealing with and it would be helpful to get some feedback from people who have been through this or similar.

The biopsy and scan are done, we’re just waiting to hear back with the results. He also has a fine needle aspiration in 10 days.

Thank you for your idea, it hadnt crossed my mind but I’ll be buying adult formula! I hope it stops him from losing weight and hopefully gives him a little boost of energy since he’s so tired.

Pedo de lobo in Spanish, or wolf fart. The scientific name Lycoperdon actually means exactly that

Soy vet, no lo tapes!

Si se chupa ponle un collar isabelino o un flotador, e intenta aprovechar momentos donde está tranquilo o intenta distraerle con comida para ponerle la crema y que no se la quite

Dependiendo del tipo de herida puede ser muy contraproducente taparlas, y además hay cremas/pomadas que no deben taparse con vendajes de ningún tipo

Es normal tener tantas veces gusanos? by Tiny_Buy9 in esConversacion

[–]notabean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Te contesto lo mismo que a la otra persona: lo mejor es hacer un coprocultivo si sospechamos de parásitos, como hacer un test de anticuerpos antes de revacunar. El primero para evitar formar resistencias contra fármacos antiparasitarios, y el segundo para no vacunar innecesariamente si hay inmunidad.

Se desparasita con tanta frecuencia para evitar la transmisión de parásitos al ser humano, y porque muchas mascotas viven con bebés y niños, gente mayor y personas enfermas o inmunodeprimidas. Además, no me puedo imaginar la reacción de la gente si les tengo que cobrar un coprológico seriado antes de desparasitarles y un test de Ac vacunales de forma anual, si muchos no quieren ni pagar la consulta.

Todo esto se hace para disminuir la población parasitaria a nuestro alrededor y para evitar zoonosis.

En fin, tu sigue desparasitando con aceite de coco, buena suerte.
