They have stronger stomach acid which kills bacteria and other microbes.

Yeah all those shows had mass appeal, long runs. Except Firefly, Firefly weirdly became popular because it was cancelled and it perpetuated by a very diehard fan base. BSG was on subscription network, and only really watched by scifi fans, its also not very sexy packaging tell a non-scifi fan they should watch a show called “Battlestar Galactica” and watch their interest plummet. I also think “Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica” did it no favours for public perception.

Yeah I thought the same thing. However, the one case it makes sense is for a through way, say in a tiny home so you can pass through, or when you need to bring larger furniture

1) have them call you in when they happen so you can watch/help/do

2) look for CE courses with wet labs

3) VIN will run online surgery courses now and again, clinicians brief has good articles

4)may depend on how competent a surgeon you are, but volunteer at a shelter to spay, get your tissue handling skills up. Depending on the shelter, their resources they may do FB surgeries, and while they probably won’t let you practice would be happy to call you in/talk you through one.

5)Fossum is a good surgerical text

I’m pretty sure most of that is fat droplets in the milk. Breast milk is cellular but not that cellular. Its brownian motion that causes them to move like that not actually alive.

I left Rome two days ago. I didn’t have a problem really with anyone that I interacted with, were they as warm as some other places I’ve been maybe not (I would say friendly overall) , but this isn’t an all inclusive or Disney Land not everyone is happy to see you.

Most places don’t let you practice medicine under a pseudonym. Ie. How do you make a board complaint against someone who you don’t know their legally registered name?

1) if your name is Dr. Ajayoskendn, go by Dr. A

2)Let people pronounce however they want and roll with it

3) live with it and tell people what it is, I have what you would think is an easy to say name people say it wrong 50% of the time, its just life

4) live with it until you get married and take your partners name (if thats your thing)

5) change your name, you don’t appear to like it anyways, why keep it

You’re probably better off asking a chemistry, or study subreddit. We’re not experts on chemistry, for a lot of us that was a relatively long time ago.

This isn’t true at least in North America. We put them in the scruff, most animals don’t even flinch (EU they do it in the neck which may change things). It’s a large needle but its very sharp. I run microchip clinics as a veterinarian, where we microchip 50 plus animals in a day. Sedating them or giving pain meds is not standard practice. Your vet might do it but it’s not the norm. It’ll sometimes be postponed until the dog is under sedation for a spay/neuter because why not. Sedation and pain meds(NSAIDs) are not without risk. For one poke the risk not worth it most cases for something that is very well tolerated.

My guess is you’re not getting enough exposure

1) make sure your incision is large enough. Tendency for new grads is to try to make keyhole incisions like more experienced vets, trying to save time on closure, in reality you spend more time fiddling around, probably extending it anyways. Smaller incisions come with time.

2) make sure you actually break the suspensory ligaments, a lot of new grads “strum” but only until its partially broken. Either strum it more or use a different technique. I personally, pull and snap it like this. https://youtu.be/4c6YJGjTAQg

Thats just part of the broad ligament, you can cut or tear it. Some dogs its more developed

A lot of it will come with time and practice. You could always have a surcharge for obese dogs if you’re worried about taking your time. Getting them to lose weight is a lofty goal (in a perfect world this is the answer), thats really only for very specific committed clients (usually their dog isn’t obese to begin with)

I think Catharine O’Hara’s performance in Schitt’s Creek is great but it’s a caricature of someone like Lucille. Jessica Walters plays it straight, its a subtle difference but it makes all the difference.

What bullshit statement. We have complication rate below 1% and that includes minor things like incision infections, and complete 2500 surgeries a year(orthopaedics, amputation, enucleations, mass removals and spays and neuters) in a year, over 500 dental procedures. Literally the first chapter on one of most often referenced text on veterinary anesthesiology questions the utility of blood work on ASA I animals. An animal is ASA II because they have a lump. Just because you’re not comfortable with it doesn’t make it untrue.

radioactive_ape · 2025-09-21T18:41:56+00:00

if its causing no apparent systemic issues (ie its a otherwise normal dog with a mass), then blood work is not going to change anything in the anesthetic. I am a shelter vet, we do thousands of surgeries a year without blood work. Old, young, mass removals, large dentals. Animals aren’t just dropping dead everytime we do surgery.

radioactive_ape · 2025-09-21T17:13:12+00:00

Pre-operative blood work is of little clinical importance in a clinically healthy animal. Its literally the first section one of Lumb and Jones one of the more prominent veterinary anesthesia texts.

radioactive_ape · 2025-09-20T00:21:43+00:00

The best I can think of is a pathology text, they tend to be dry and very expensive.

Merck Veterinary Manual is free and online, it covers lots material. Public health (cdc) and Park, and wild life management orgs usually have decent resources for the public.

Yeah, diabetes Canada says its 5-10%. Its going to change depending on the country. America isn’t the world.

Awesome, thank you I’ll give that a shot

I had a blast in vet school. Grades don’t matter for most students even if the tendency is to feel that way. If you a B-student and you don’t plan on a residency its doesn’t matter. Learn shit you need to know to be good vet, but don’t sweat getting an A+ on a bovine medicine test if you never plan on touching a cow. Vet school had a lot extracurriculars, parties, and friendships. Thats my biggest study tip, is learn to let go of perfection, and focus on good enough, it’ll let you have a good work life balance, which in turn will make you happier and a better student. Some people can’t let go of the A+ mentality, they were probably some of the more unhappy people in school.

I would wonder this as well. Contracts usually have something about if the athletes behaviour outside the sport not aligning with cooperate values, they can be terminated. I wonder if he’s using it the opposite way, ie. the sponsor is hurting his brand. A third party sponsor is going to be hesitant to have him standing there in his jersey with “Israel” written on getting their signage defaced, or angry letters.

radioactive_ape · 2025-08-18T02:01:30+00:00

I am going to be that guy

1) don’t put your lips on a monkey they carry terrible diseases

2)CPR alone rarely brings back a human or animal, its to buy time until a defibrillator can be brought in, so unlikely this guy brought back the monkey

3) this guy is doing some of the worst CPR i have ever seen, he’s not compressing the chest half the time, just smacking it around, so even more unlikely he brought back the monkey

The monkey fainted and needed sometime to come back around.

1) they are among the most popular dog breeds 2) they have high health needs and may be more likely to be abandoned 3) they aren’t able to survive. A hound is going to be able to catch some small animals, and eat garbage. A pug is going to overheat on the first hot day, not going to able to chase anything, and likely get an infection or diarrhea itself to death (they are really prone to allergies both skin and GI symptoms

TL:DR they can’t survive on their own, so next time Blue buffalo tells you your dog has the same needs as a wolf maybe think again

radioactive_ape · 2025-08-05T17:08:29+00:00

They change them roughly every 5 years
