Today’s prayer request is for our veterinarian doctors, veterinarian nurses, veterinarian technicians, and staff.
The reason why I have chosen this is because the other day, when me and my mom went to the vet for an appointment for our puppy, we noticed new signs on the wall that we never seen before. The three signs clearly reminded visitors of these things: do not physically assault any staff member or you’ll have your services discontinued, that staff since Covid has been understaffed and taking on the responsibilities of missing employees, that mental health of vet workers are not good at all, to have patience, kindness, and compassion for all staff because they are trying their best.
Now from me: Please remember the Golden Rule, to treat others the way you want to be treated. All these staff members are human and they are precious children of God, our brothers and sisters. We can make this world more peaceful by following the ways Jesus taught us to love God and love our neighbor or ourselves.

I hate to break it to you guys but vets, doctors, and other medical professionals are not automatically scientists and in fact have to work hard to actually be scientists
They are extremely well trained mechanics for the world’s most complicated machines. Not the same as a scientist.
For example: I know of several young earth creationist doctors
For example: many doctors refuse to follow the evidence we have about obesity, but continue to use their outdated ideas on the topic
For example: my vet always learns something new from me about the science around parrot behavior when I come in with my birds for check ups, and she actually does try to keep up
For example: premed training doesn’t require a scientific major
Saying “a doctor said X” or “a vet said Y” is pretty much meaningless unless said medical professional also does scientific work, which is never guaranteed.

Veterinarians in Canada say they are experiencing extreme burnout and plummeting mental health due to staff shortages, a booming number of animal patients and the round-the-clock stress of the job. Neil Pothier, a veterinarian since 1985 who runs an animal hospital in Digby, N.S., said caring for animals has never been easy, but it's a job he's always loved. "But now, all day long, people are talking about burnout and thinking of quitting," Pothier said following a meeting with veterinarians from across Nova Scotia. "We are struggling to try and make it." Pothier said the increased workload, which in many rural areas comes with on-call emergency care 24 hours a day, is resulting in severe stress and exhaustion that has worsened over time. "People are just at the point where they don't know what to do. And there is already a high suicide rate in the country in our profession, which is terrifying." Survey data compiled in 2020 suggests that veterinarians in Canada were far more likely to think about killing themselves when compared with the average person. The study, published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, found 26.2 per cent of 1,403 veterinarians surveyed had suicidal thoughts within the previous 12 months. Statistics Canada data from 2022 found that 2.5 per cent of Canadians surveyed had thoughts about killing themselves within the last year.

My cats both have vet appointments in a week and then two weeks so I told my one cat he has a doctor's appointment coming up. My dad said it isn't a doctor's appointment. I said Veterinarian's are animal doctors so it's a doctor's appointment.
Now I'm wondering:

To all the vets and vet techs of the world:
If you just euthanized someone’s beloved pet, don’t stand right outside the door of that room to laugh and yell with your colleagues like it’s just another day at work. It might be that to YOU, but my world stopped and I didn’t appreciate hearing you laugh while I cradled my cat’s dead body and sobbed my eyes out.
Anyway, dear Dennis, the tech who came in at my request and took the IV catheter out of Monroe’s front leg for me: thank you for expressing condolences and mirroring the grief in the room. Thank you for gently petting her as you helped my mom and I put her in the bag we buried her in.
I remember your name because you were kind. I don’t remember the names of your colleagues who wouldn’t shut up.

7•18•24 || Poe went to the vet to get his shots. He was good when he went to the back room with the vet. Being with us made him bark at everyone protectively but I’m super sensitive to sound rn bc I’m on my period and recovering from pmdd symptoms.

I love being at the vet when a giant tattooed viking-looking biker comes into the waiting area with a guinea pig or little purse dog, and meanwhile there's already some little girl in a princess costume with her snake.

I love people takes on doctors and nurses being unhinged because they're so used to death and hurt and trauma, and people being assholes all of the time because they're in pain and pain unlocks the worst of us BUT
Hear me out.
If you think doctors are unhinged, you've never met Veterinarians.
Like we deal with all of that, we see so many fucking weird things all of the time, like honestly, nothing surprises me anymore.
It ranges from my cat fell from the top of the building, to my chihuahua is barking weird, to my pet monkey burnt his hand on the stove top, to my dog ate my marijuana, to my dog is vomiting blood, to my horse was bitten by a snake in the wild span of 2 hours, so quickly.
Also, the absolute dread you have when your patient has reached the limit and you have to tell their owners, "well, this is it, it is your choice now, but I sugest we let them go", and the absurdity of playing god and being with that little creature as you inject it with something that will make it die, questioning yourself if you are really making the better decision, what if you gave it another chance and it got better? Miracles happen everyday, and yet, I've seen the most horrific deaths and honestly the ones I've seen that were the most peaceful were the ones where we were responsible for. They deserve peace, don't they?
I mean, people who got into it because they love animals? They quickly get that sucked the fuck out of them.
Sometimes in my shifts I feel like this souless monster, because to heal this creatures I sometimes have to do them harm, and they will never understand that.
It also makes you question your morals real deep, because you spend so much time with animals, and even though they can't speak, they have so much in them, you start to look at them no different than you do a person, so why is it okay to kill an animal, but doing the same to a human is unforgivable?
Are we really that different? Are we really more evolved than them?
You just wade through your days confused and tired and conflicted and lost, and yet- when you see a patient and it is all better, and it gives you their love (by headbutting you or wagging its tail, or running around, or doing the things it used to do when it wasn't sick in the first place) and it feels SO GOOD.
It's like the best gift ever, it's the most overwhelmingly ecstatic feeling I've ever felt. And you feel so proud of yourself, like, I know I haven't won a nobel prize, bu that cat gets to go home and live and love because of something that I DID.
So we go through the shittiest of things every single day, just so sometimes we can get that ephemeral good feeling.
It's kind of like a drug.
It's really bad, and really good.
But then you get home, and you gave all of yourself, you're spent, and you still gotta pay bills and rent and fuel and you're out of soap or whatever, and then you don't have enough money for that, because the pay really, really sucks.
And you get this chunk of humanity and goodness tore out of yourself when you practice for too long, because I've seen so many types of suffering, you give away pieces of yourself to do your best, and you still can't makes end meet.
So yeah, Veterinarians are unhinged.

I need some advice on getting a couple of cats to get along, please.
One's almost four years old and the other is almost two. They seem to hate each other.
The younger one seems to be the main starter of their fights (although elder seems to start a couple too). Elder has a safe room but Younger keeps trying to enter it. When he does it causes stress on Elder. She also seems to be afraid to leave this room.
The thing is, it's an un clean room and I'm not allowed to clean it (it's not my room and while not directly told I can't clean it I have been told "I'd rather you not). Elder stays in it almost all the time. And she doesn't seem to be doing good mentally.
If it's just Elder she's a sweet cat. She usually won't be a lap girl but she'll lay next to you and purr. She loves watching videos and listening to podcasts and things like that.
If it's just Younger he's a butthead but a sweet but head. He'll lay down with you and get jealous if you don't give him all your attention.
We have a total of eight cats and they both get along with the others pretty much fine. Younger some times wants to play with our eldest cat (nineteen) while he just wants to sleep. So it's not that neither of them just doesn't get along with other cats.
We adopted Younger a couple months ago along with his brother. They're a bonded pair and their previous parents are having to try to get rid of their animals for reasons that aren't mine to tell. I don't want to have to give Younger and his brother back, since I don't know what'll happen to them. But Elder doesn't deserve this.
I want her to be able to walk around her own home without being afraid of Younger.
I have tried calming collars. Younger likes to strip his off and Elder seemed to have a reaction to it and her breathing got weird.
I have cat nip but I'm not sure how well that'll help them get along.
