Un p’tit mardi dans la vie d’une calico!

Just another Tuesday in a calico’s life!

[justcatposts]

Our vet clinic cat Bob greets me like this every morning when I let him out for the day. He knows how to open doors so we have to keep him in a cage overnight, or else he will eat the fish in our fishbowls! Best part of my mornings.

Information to know about your pet… before you visit the vet:

- What kind of food does your pet eat? Include the brand name and flavor, as well as the amount fed and how often they eat. Remember that “one scoop” doesn’t mean much, so be sure to quantify it in cups, etc. before your next visit. Don’t forget to mention treats, or any recent diet changes!

- What medications, if any, does your pet take? Please know the drug name, dosage, and frequency, as well as how long they’ve been on it. Preventatives count as meds too! Different brands protect against different parasites, so be sure to know which your pet takes.

- Is your pet ever exposed to other animals? This includes animals in the home, at the dog park, groomers, daycare, boarding, and play dates with neighbors or friends. When was their most recent exposure?

- Is your pet up to date on vaccines? Which ones? Just the core vaccines (rabies and DHPP for dogs/FVRCP for cats), or non-core such as lepto, influenza, Bordetella, and/or feline leukemia as well? If not up to date, did they ever receive any vaccines in the past, and when?

- Does your pet have any relevant medical history? Please disclose any previous illnesses or surgeries you are aware of to your vet team.

- What is your pet’s spay/neuter status? Different reproductive diseases affect intact and altered animals. If you’re unsure, just let us know!

- Has your pet traveled recently? This includes everything from trips out of the country to a day drive across town for a swim at the lake. Certain toxins and diseases are more prevalent in different environments.

- Is your pet nervous or aggressive? There’s no shame in this! Please let us know for our safety and your pet’s.

Remember that not all vet visits are planned, so be sure to learn this information ahead of time. I hope this helps better equip you to advocate for your pet!

Fellow vet professionals, feel free to add on!

MARS INC., THE CANDY COMPANY, OWNS ALMOST ALL THE VETERINARY CLINICS IN THE US NOW, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Mars Inc. started acquiring the large vet companies about 10 years ago, and now they own almost all of them. Not only that, but of course they are squeezing for money in situations that involve pet lives, which makes the vets and vet techs live in a high stress environment ...

here is from an article about what vets that work for them experience

------------------- "Interviews with veterinary professionals identified the parent company of VCA, Mars, Inc., as the greater source of their anguish. Ten employees who worked at Mars facilities across the country, many speaking anonymously due to concerns over retaliation, described how issues like understaffing and tensions between workers and management made a physically and emotionally taxing job increasingly untenable. Furthering this bitterness is the feeling among many workers that their love for animals has been exploited to push them to accept unbearable working conditions, often at the expense of their mental health.

Several workers said that conditions in their workplaces became so bad that they considered taking their own life. When they expressed to management that they had been experiencing suicidal ideation, these workers stated that their mental-health concerns were treated dismissively" _________________

Mars Inc. vet employees have actually been taking their own lives. And if Mars Inc. doesn't care about their lives, do we trust they care about our pets? This is the same company that has been before congress for continuing to buy chocolate from plantations they know use kidnapped slaves, many of them children. And now they control your pet's healthcare too.

here is a short that explains the acquisition of US vet companies by the candy conglomerate

VET BILLSSSS

Hello!!! I am raising money for my feline kitty boy, Sunkist. He got home today after going in for surgery on Wednesday, but they delivered the unfortunate news that he will block again if we don't get him a voluntary [$$$$$$] surgery. It's a PU surgery. [tldr: widens urethra]

Rent increased a bit in price, and price of living is always going up. We're going to get some help to start a Cuddle fundraiser as well, but for now, he's on Gofundme. The price for a PU is anywhere from 500-2000$, so the goal is set to 1000$ for now and will increase up to 5000$ as we reach our goals. If we raise too much, we'll donate excess funds to the vet and save some of it for his food [it's 120$ for a 15lb bag].

There are art rewards available for donations over 50$, and you can contact me with a screenshot proving your donation to redeem a headshot or halfbody with or without a background.

Hi. I don't normally post here. I do a lot of reblogging but I desperately need help. My best friend, Norman has been hospitalized since Saturday 3/2. I took him to the emergency vet for loss of appetite, sudden weight loss and extreme lethargy. They diagnosed him with diabetes. They hospitalized him and we've struggled getting him well ever since. I got multiple calls at the late hours of the night on Sunday night. He had a really rough night, they had a hard time keeping him alive, they told me he had hard damage to his liver and it could possibly be shutting down. The vet doesn't want to give up on him, but that means I'll have to pay another night of hospitalization including insulin, boarding, IV, medications, and round the clock care from staff. I have already fitted a $12,000 bill for Saturday 3/2-Monday 3/4 and do not have much more to give. This cat means the world to me and has given me a reason to wake up everyday and try. I have and will continue to empty my bank account for him. I don't like asking for help and have done so on any kind of platform but he is so important to me amd I could never live with myself if I didn't try everything possible. Please consider donating if you have any extra and are feeling generous, I appreciate every bit of help more than you'll ever know. Please I just want my baby boy to come home.

I understand a lot of people are going through a lot now days and I'll understand if you can't donate. If you can reblog please do, I really need the help.

This situation is so sad.

Being feminine is not enough. Having your own money is not enough. We have to learn how to VET men properly.

Vetting a man as a provider is one thing, but don’t forget to vet his character too.

Is he a good person?

Does he have good morals?

Does he have good character?

Is he respectful to you?

Does he care for others?

Is he emotionally mature?

We have to pay attention to red flags and green flags. We have to stop being desperate and rushing when in relationships. Low self esteem, fear and poor vetting is why women end up with these type of abusive men.

Women have to start dating smart!

“I want to be a vet” is a common childhood dream… but I’m curious just how widespread it is!
