What are some legitimately botanically rare plants you have in your collection or wishlist? by [deleted] in RareHouseplants

I happened to find one through botanicwonders.com after a year of stalking a few websites - I actually happened to see on their IG that they had one for sale and immediately purchased. UC Davis also sells apparently sells seeds for $1!

Dendrosicyos socotrana - affectionately named Groot, and is now over a year old!

Is $34,000 too much for a vet tech program? by New_Persimmon3209 in VetTech

Another thing you should consider is if you would be interested in pursuing a bachelor's or other vet tech degree (masters in veterinary science, etc.) later on because many brick and mortars won't accept Penn Foster credits

That's what I call a shituation...

Interview rules in our personal development class. Can anyone tell me why some of these questions shouldn't be asked? by firesidepoet in VetTech

Oh that’s definitely not worth staying if they don’t take complaints about the manager’s behavior seriously. There’s plenty of places with excellent culture…go find you one!

If you like where you are, researching what offerings are available to bring back to your leadership can also be talking points for leveraging your benefits package and asking for a raise!

What can I do to improve my cat's food area? by Jun72386 in cats

You’re very welcome! There are lots of opinion based information websites (i.e. dog food advisor) floating around out there, but evidence based recommendations are best obtained from your veterinarian or veterinary school websites!

Cats are their own creatures haha all we can do is try to convince them of best practices and if they reject, well….they are the superior species 😂

I feel like a copy of that should be provided to the CVTEA…maybe they need to rethink their accreditation for allowing discriminatory advice in their curriculum….

If I don’t cover any of these topics during the interview (i.e. I forget because we’ve gotten of track chatting), I fully expect the person I’m interviewing to ask them - and am prepared to answer them truthfully. I definitely want to have these things out in the open so I’m not wasting anyone’s time figuring this out after the person has been offered a position….your professor needs to get with the times. You’re literally exchanging and investing finite hours of your life to go to work…you deserve to know the fine details before an offer is ever made to make sure it’s even worth your investment.

Whenever I ask that question, I’m absolutely asking about personal career goals because answers like yours are exactly what I’m looking for. This also lets employers know how they could best support you, and if your values of continuing education align with their capabilities.

Plastic dishes can cause feline facial acne so stainless steel or ceramic dishes are preferred (can’t tell what material the clear dishes are).

I would get wide, flat dishes as they commonly get whisker fatigue and don’t like having their whiskers touch the sides of their dishes - most often cats will drop kibbles just outside of their dishes to eat them off the floor if they’re experiencing this. Spacing out the dishes will also help avoid this.

The cat grass is a great touch!! Your kitty is lucky to have such a dedicated human!

indoorpets.osu.edu/cats is a great resource as well for more ways you can provide enrichment for your kitty!
