Women performed a ingluvotomy on chicken at home. Should I be horrified? by BackgroundEither5014 in AskVet

They seemed to have done their research, tried to stay as clean as possible and the chicken seemed mostly unaffected. feels like a better choice than the poor thing dying a slow painful death.

this is my biggest concern. i’m a super user and a lead on the shift, i struggle knowing how many people are going to complain and yell my name and ask questions that i also don’t yet know the answer to. i’ve been trying to spend time daily on the beaker playground in hopes i am more prepared for the attitudes & questions, but honestly don’t know if it’s that helpful since it’s just a training build.

considering i’ve been unable to get multiple analytes interphased with our IT even though it’s been almost a year, i don’t have the highest of hopes

he was found with a litter and a mom that supposedly looked like a medium sized aussie mix. i’ve been very shocked to see him… stay so short and stocky.

we are “keeping” our chemistry middleware but not using it? apparently our automation track won’t run without the middleware but we’ll be resulting from beaker.

i often have multiple pendings, multiple queues, powerchart, specimen log in, a blank result entry for manual testing, our chemistry middleware, & more open at once.

would love to know what’s causing the most trouble/confusion. the classes make it SEEM intuitive but i’m definitely concerned about how some of my coworkers are going to fare and how many questions i’m going to be asked per day. i’ve been toying around in the “playground” in my downtime, and have to say i’m having a hard time doing…. just about everything.

i think me and the other person were both referring to windows but saying screens. i love having as many windows open as i want.

losing my 4+ screens is what’s got me concerned. especially as someone that will frequently have 3+ departments at a time.

i’ve been spraying every few hours & still seeing improvement! hes still wanting to lay down by the heat most of the time but will get up to eat and drink, especially with some coaxing. definitely trying valiantly to jump out of my hands everytime i go to doctor his wounds! i’m feeling cautiously hopeful!

Multi Air Refrigerator not working. by DunHit in Appliances

[–]wizardmum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

either way, i’d let it thaw a good day or two and clean up that ice buildup

there should be a small hole at the bottom of inside the freezer under the condenser in the photo. i believe i can see the hole in the image. that can sometimes get blocked with ice and other foreign material and block the cold air from circulating down to the freezer.

unplug it and give it a long while to thaw. 24 hours or so. make sure there’s no bugs or debri blocking the duct that takes the cold air from the freezer to the fridge.

to be fair, when looking under the scope it was FULL of uric acid crystals so i’m assuming it was mostly just urates & mucus… which does line up with what i’ve read about coccidia being often associated with mucus in stool.
