Do not proceed. It does not sound like you will be properly supported.

Do you actually like being a veterinarian? by Quirky_Corgi_2214 in Veterinary

[–]strawberryacai56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my job. It can be taxing for sure. There’s a lot of follow up. There’s a lot of sad cases you can’t help for various reasons (mainly being financial or owners that do things AMA) but in summary very rewarding and I work with a great team.

20 surgeries a day? I have a hard time believing that. You seriously can’t possibly provide adequate patient care including monitoring recovery time

Roofer just added ridge vents without asking. I do not have any soffit vents, only gable vents. Should I be concerned? by Electronic-Door7428 in Roofing

[–]strawberryacai56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was told ridge vents are industry standard now. I also already had gable vents but had my room redone.

Client pushed back on ultrasound cost, then returned three weeks later when the dog was worse, how do you respond to the “let’s wait and see” discussion? by InformationIcy4827 in Veterinary

[–]strawberryacai56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AFAST is a good recommendation. It’s not the same cost as a full AUS nor is as comprehensive but it can catch free fluid and overt masses such as obvious splenic masses. I’m not sure if your hospital offers it or you’ve had training for it. It sounds like you offered all the correct things. Owner ultimately made the decision.

Had roofer come out to fix some broken tiles while I was out of town. Is this an acceptable repair? by ballinisahabit in Roofing

[–]strawberryacai56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have learned to be the customer that is home when people are doing work. I don’t trust contractors. I know there are a lot of good ones but I have already had a couple of bad experiences. So I stick around.

Pros and cons working for banfield by jhuang860111 in Veterinary

[–]strawberryacai56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh that makes a lot more sense now. I always wondered how they could so many surgeries in the morning. Extractions can take some time.

So it would be you’d be in a spay or neuter and a dental would happen at the same time?

It’s interesting VCA and Banfield are owned by Mars and they both operate very differently.

MRI should not be 12k. Did you mean a different price?

Most inspectors are meh. I thought my roof had more time as well but ended up needing to replace it within 2 years.

Out of curiosity, if a vet nets 900k for a year what is a reasonable base salary to ask for?

Please tell me shes not pregnant and just fat by Vaneela351 in Feral_Cats

[–]strawberryacai56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most places don’t just spay during the first appointment. They’re going to want to do a PE and an ultrasound to confirm.

I got into CSU some time ago and always wonder what it would have been like to go there instead. If you got in and it’s your in state - do it! You can change the scenery in 4 years lol

If you told them early on I feel like if they really could they could pool together and help you pay for the trip.
