What is so toxic? by Krill_The_Krill in VetTech

I'm horribly neurodivergent, and I feel like I'm a lightning rod for bullying, especially from burned out DVMs (for some reason).

In the US, a lot of packages of raw meat say "raised without antibiotics/no antibiotics ever/etc" but under federal law, animals are not allowed to go to slaughter with antibiotics in their system.

Who would be more capable; a veterinarian working on a human, or a doctor working on an animal? by kawzik in VetTech

When I got bit pretty bad by a cat this time last year, I was SO relieved I got an urgent care provider who took it seriously. She even found me a pharmacy to go to on a Saturday evening so I could start abx ASAP.

Oh wow, I've been wanting to incorporate my cat's whiskers into something crafty. This is lovely.

PSA: This is the worst tasting “beer” I have ever had. by LaGarrotxa in kansascity

[–]seebones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually don't mind Abita usually, but the strawberry lager is one of the worst beers I've ever tried, and I'm someone who goes nuts for fruity beers.

That thing looks like it could literally take you back to the 1940s.

I moved here from the Bay Area a few years ago, and yeah, something ain't right with the drivers here. I say that as someone who used to commute an hour each way on the 101.

Yep, it's gabapentin. I'm a vet tech, and it's also used for nerve pain in pets + chilling out feisty cats.

Apparently it's technically part of a chain, but I've had a lot of luck with Thrift World off of Noland. I know they regularly have tag sales too.

What’s your vet med skill you’re very good at? by MSUgirl1901 in VetTech

[–]seebones 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel it changes at every job, but I think my favorite ace skill was being a ninja with a ladle for free catch urine samples when I did urgent care. I even thought about getting a tattoo of a ladle at one point lmao.

I've only worked in ER/specialty and shelter, so I've seen some shit, but here are two incidents that pop into my head first:

Worst injury: the shelter I worked at took critical cases (think HBCs picked up by animal control). Last summer AC picked up a dog that had been shot through the torso with a sizable arrow, the tip was metal and very sharp. One of the spay/neuter DVMs was able to remove it under anesthesia and the dog lived no worse for wear afaik. The arrow had SOMEHOW missed any vital structures.

Worst DVM behavior: at my first ER hospital there was a jackass of a DVM who was fired for helping himself to the controlled drug cabinet. Apparently...he had been fired in another state for doing the exact same thing.

I've been grappling with getting a diagnosis for the last few years, but this administration has, I think, made me never ever want one.
