Can you do a veterinarian career mood-board but pink themed? Also featuring black women because I’m black.

If you live in Texas please remember to never take your horses or other animals to the vets at Texas A&M because a vet has been allowed to continue working there despite multiple instances of HORRIFIC animal treatment and torture that the people there ALLOWED to happen.

The hearing for her veterinary license started yesterday but I do not know if she is going to be allowed to keep her license.

Links for proof. Big content warnings for animal abuse and negligence on the other people working there.

I am looking to change careers from working with horses for over 10 years to trying to get a job in small animal vet med, my friend who's a tech told me I should try to get an assistant job before going to vet tech school in case I don't like it, how would u guys recommend I go about trying to get a vet assistant job? I hav a ton of experience doing some vet stuff with horses (can give all types of shots and hav helped vets with xrays, injections, and catheters) should I just apply with a cover letter saying those things or something else?

GV here.

Yes, absolutely this! Check Indeed or simply the websites of local vet clinics to see if they're hiring. The need for experienced support staff is DESPERATE so even having vet/animal handling experience in different species than what the clinic treats is better than someone who has only worked retail or office jobs.

Good luck!!

Just a reminder, if something looks wrong with your pet, take them to the vet!

Ninja just got back from a surgery where they removed a foreign object and a massive hairball from his stomach and intestines. His original symptoms were concerning (vomiting clear foamy fluid, gagging, lack of appetite) so we called our vet and asked what to do. Two days and $2376 later and he is home and on his way to recovery. He is on a lot of meds for both the pain and the nausea. The veterinary assistant said that if we hadn't brought him in when we had he might have needed a different procedure, one with a lot more risks.

Long story short, watch your pets, if it seems wrong then it probably is!

[nietopesz]

a lot of changes happening in my life recently, it influenced my blogging. outrageous..

[cursed-clock-shop]

Gerty tried to unionize the clock shop when she was 10. This did not work because her siblings were 4 and 3, and as such, were not employees.

I was really nervous about finding a new job because my clinic is very BIZZARE and controlling (they don't let us do anything it's beyond ridiculous). I've been there 5 years and I still get treated as the Rookie. They send everyone to lunch when I clock in but don't close for lunch. I feel thrown to the wolves for almost an hour because there's just me on the floor. They really expect me to be in 3 places at once. I've complained. It's never gotten any better, if anything it's becoming worse. I'm at my wits end.

I was scared no other clinic would want me. I have the years of experience but my skills are not where they should be. My first interview got canceled because my office manager didn't give me my schedule until the morning of. This is a regular issue. It hurt, I felt like I'm not going to be taken seriously or just look like a liar.

I was also diagnosed with a mild learning disorder around the time they stopped training me for literally anything. Yes it feels ableist.

So I was really disappointed my first interview got canceled. Now I have 3 interviews lined up for this week, all at different hospitals. My mentor wrote me the nicest pep talk and it made me sob.

Things are going to be OK, I hope...

I downloaded the veterinary CPR app made by the recover initiative. If I can remember to open it next time we have a code, it will be interesting to see if it's useful.

What's it like podcasting? (Chalena)

It's a question I get asked a lot. It's fun - it honestly really is but it has been very difficult and a learning curve. I know I know I definitely have not been keeping up with this blog, but I am going to start now. I want to see how far this journey takes us.

In the beginning, it was really hard to find our voices. Courtney and I, although are very talkative when it's just us - can get a little shy in front of the camera/mic. Our biggest fear was always, "am I going to stay something stupid? Stumble over my words? Am I going to offend someone". We are still getting over this curve now - though being only 7 episodes in there is a huge difference. We decided that we were going to be ourselves - our true, authentic, unfiltered selves. What is the point of podcasting if not? We're not just having a conversation with each other but with our audience as well, and we want you guys to join in on the conversation! If you don't like us - fine - we're not for you. We can't fit in with everyone's taste.

Now, we did start podcasting in the middle of our Vet Tech Program. It honestly was supposed to be just a fun hobby for us. Now going back and thinking about it, it was an incredibly crazy idea. This podcasting is like another job that doesn't pay well, the only reason I do it is because I truly enjoy it. It give me something else to think about other than Vet Med, and anyone in Vet Med knows how draining and life consuming it is. If I didn't have this podcast - I would be at home probably depressed. I met my goal, what else is there to live for if I have nothing to work for? I would just be lost if I wasn't actively working on something.

Currently, I am working full time as a Vet Assistant, while studying for the VTNE to be a full fledged Vet Tech. Has this been a hurdle? Absolutely, I feel like I'm having to juggle two different lives. On top of that - I recently discovered that I may have an autoimmune disorder. My test results came back flagging for Hypothyroidism in the near future and a positive on Anti-Nuclear AB. The latter can still flag positive on a healthy person - however I have been suffering symptoms for over 6 months. I know I know, I should have gone sooner but I just didn't have the time or money for that. If I wasn't studying, I was at my clinicals and if I wasn't at my clinicals, I was at work, and if I wasn't at work, I was at home taking care of all the things I didn't do during the week. I was constantly tired, but I thought it was just from my busy schedule and endless amounts of studying. Nothing an energy drink couldn't fix, right? WRONG. I should have known that something was wrong when I was sleep extremely exhausted and unfocused when I was taking my prescribed ADHD medications along with 2-3 energy drinks a day. I unfortunately only noticed when I started working full time, with shorter working hours and a less busy schedule, and I was passing out at 8pm and waking up for work at 8am (I'm supposed to be there at 7:20), regularly, and it still wasn't enough.

So how do I podcast with all this chaos going on in my life? Easy. I enjoy it. That's it. That's the secret, you have to actually like it and understand that even though you podcast for an audience, at the end of the day your podcast is for you to be you. So what, if you only have 15 listeners? I know sometimes when you start out doing this - you feel like you're not enough. You're not smart, funny, pretty, etc, enough and a big audience is essentially approval from other people. Validation is what we search for (in most every situation). I am here to tell you (and myself) that you are enough. Your thoughts, your ideas, your beliefs, they matter, you matter.

So yeah, that's what it's like podcasting. It's an emotional rollercoaster when you mix it in with your own crazy life - but at the end of the day it's rewarding on its own.
