….they always tell me to do my dogs once a year…and won’t let me buy my interceptor without the test. I don’t know why they treat you so horribly. I use interceptor and my dogs are negative every year.
And they’re supposed to check before they sell you trifexis too, which I’ve used and they didn’t. I’m not allowed to sell it to anyone at work that hasn’t had a heart worm test in the past year. It makes me so mad b/c Tosh has never had any kind of heart worm protection since Revolution sucks.
I am furious. I am so fucking irritated. The vet that we had previously been taking the dogs to never gave Tosh a heartworm test, and actually recommended a medication to us that is proven to be ineffective at protecting my dogs from heartworms. Are you fucking kidding me? I’m trying to figure out what to do in order to give my dogs the proper protection, that also wont break the bank before my wellness plan kicks in. Basically, we’re in one of the worst places in the country as far as heart worms go, and my dogs have hardly been protected at all.
So heart worms are transmitted through mosquitos, and I live in Florida. Great. Revolution, the medication I’ve been using for fleas, ticks, and heart worms is effective for fleas and ticks, but not so much for heart worms, which is definitely the worst of all those 3. My previous vet never offered to test Tosh, or even mentioned that he would need that when I asked what else he’d need.
I’m distraught thinking about all this stuff.
Oh boy, work at pet hospital is never gonna be boring. Today we had 2 emergencies, and a few crazies.
I can’t wait to go to the pool tomorrow, I need some time to relax before a hectic workday Saturday, plus I don’t want to become completely anti-social from working this much. I can’t complain about all the experience and the pay though.
So that’s been my life. I’m not very interesting
Smelt is not the last tense of smelled, in fact it was nothing to do with smell at all. It is the action of melting down a metal, like iron. As in you smelt iron in order to make something else out of it. It may also be a type of fish, however I’m mot sure and too lazy to look it up right this second. So in conclusion, it isn’t “that smelt horrible”, it is “that SMELLED horrible”.
I can’t sleep, and I’m irritates so yeah. Irritated post.
National Report—When it comes to the economics of veterinary education, the future is unsustainable for most students.
It’s a sobering reality, says Dr. James F. Wilson, a practice consultant and educator, that most veterinarians will be entering practice unable to have a life outside of…
vet tech school it is then.
Yesterday was my first day at Banfield, and even though it was exhausting I loved it. It’s a lot of work, and a ton of responsibility on me but I think I can handle it. For those of you that don’t know I got the job at Banfield Pet Hospital as a Customer Service Coordinator, which is basically a glorified receptionist. I open the clinic, check patients in and out, work the register, help restrain patients occasionally, put patients in rooms, and answer calls. This week and next I’m training, but after that I’ll actually get to work on my own. That’s kinda exciting, but terrifying at the same time. Maybe I’m weird, but I love that I get to wear scrubs everyday. They aren’t the most flattering uniform, but they are so comfortable, it’s like wearing pajamas to work!
I went in for our weekly meeting today, and they had Royal Canin come in and talk to us(they’re a dog food brand), and we get their food 50% off! I’m pretty excited about that, Tosh has a hard enough time keeping weight on, and they have food specially formulated for labs too to help fight against bloat!
I’m loving that I’m getting so many hours, and that we get benefits for our dogs too. After I work there for 90 days, both the dogs will be on their essential wellness plan for free! And I can move them up to other plans if I need to for like nothing. So for free Tosh and Nala can get all their shots, testing, and an unlimited number of office visits. Yayy, healthy puppies!
All I wanna know is what is so morally wrong with checking someone out in front of your significant other or them doing it? I just laugh when that happens. If anything I realize it makes him appreciate me more - on both ends - and the same goes for me. I’m not worried about him sleeping with other girls because I’m confident. Lose the insecurity and it will do wonders for your relationship, trust me.
Maybe we’re weird, but we check girls out together. He’ll point it out to me, or I’ll tell him. It isn’t like he’s sitting there telling me that he wants to get with her, but there are other attractive people out there than just me, and we just acknowledge that. Other women are pretty, hell a ton of them are hotter than me, but I’m his wife. He didn’t marry me just for my body.
Dr. Death- Euthanizing Animals
I watched this last night and bawled my eyes out. It’s not for the faint of heart. It is for idiots who buy or breed dogs.
THIS IS WHY I’M A CRAZY ANIMAL PERSON. Because for all the idiots out there actively contributing to the problem day in and day out, there need to be some people who at least try to do something about it. Granted all I can do is try, and any of my efforts can only really address the symptoms rather than the causes, and it’s more often than not in vain since I can’t change the laws, but a life saved is still a life saved. Which is always worth it.
Spay. Neuter. Foster. Adopt. Donate.
I am in tears watching my dogs play, praying they live long, healthy, happy lives.
I want more than anything to be able to help these animals. I wish I had more room, and time for them.
“Oh, I understand hot. It gets hot where I live, too.”
I apologize to everyone who doesn’t live in Florida…wait, no, I don’t. Because none of you are forced to live on the SURFACE OF THE FUCKING SUN. You want hot? Come here in MARCH. You want to see infants burst into flames and dogs explode? Come here in August.
Right now, the sun is boiling the water in the clouds while it rains. Boiling water is falling from the sky.
You don’t know hot.
