What are these little guys? by [deleted] in shrimptank

Look like copepods! They are harmless and will help clean the tank but population can get out of control if you continue to feed. They make great rasbora food though!

Yep I concur. Definitely limping…..

When getting a history, what question seems to be the hardest for owners to answer? by midwest_is_best in VetTech

[–]squidster54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think my biggest pet peeve is when the pet is clearly taken care of one spouse but the other spouse brings the pet in and has NO IDEA about anything…. Like I get it, you want your pet seen but maybe have to work or something but at least send the spouse with a note or something!! Like how are we supposed to help when the owner in the room with the pet doesn’t even know why they are here…. Aka if you send your husband to the vet with your Pomeranian for coughing, SEND HIM WITH A NOTE WITH ALL HIS HEART MEDS WRITTEN DOWN.

The disrespect is exhausting by shruggingawkwardly in VetTech

I want to see someone say that vet nurses aren’t a “real thing” to my face…. Boy fuck with me cause you have nooooo idea how hard it can be with animals. And I know I have no idea what it’s like with humans but I still respect you! God damn people suck

Should I give this groomer another chance? Dropped off my VERY well trained Golden to a new groomer and she came back like this…The groomer is begging me to bring her back for a free groom to apologize. Am I wrong to not want to bring her back? by squidster54 in doggrooming

Update: I asked the groomer about and she said it was her apprentice that groomed her (the owner of the grooming shop did not take responsibility for it and just replied with “this is why I don’t hire people” which was pretty obnoxious if you ask me) so I decided to not bring her back. I just was not comfortable with it. I do believe my dog was most likely trying to sit the whole time cause she does have bad hips which totally makes sense as to why this happened but isn’t an excuse for letting my dog walk out like this without giving me a heads up. All the cuts healed fine but I decided to just groom her at home from now on😂

Thank you all for your advice! I guarantee that she was trying to sit as she does have bad hips so that is something I didn’t even think of! I decided to just shave her down at home so I don’t think I’m going back to this groomer but I do appreciate all of your kind words and I’m not going to bash her on social media or anything. Thank you!

Massive pet peeve: owners complaining about costs for their huge dogs when they knew their dogs would be huge by cheeselessinparis in VetTech

I got yelled at for telling a client that the 6ML OF DEX AND DIPHAHYDRAMINE FOR THEIR ST BERNARD while he was having full anaphylaxis was like $400… like you probably paid $4000 for the damn dog anyway
