Anyone alive?
This group seems pretty inactive but if anyone's still out there I'd like to make other vet tech friends to help keep me accountable! You all know how hard it is to resist the goodies clients bring in... bleh! And all I really talk about is my dog so... you guys understand, right? ;)
Anyone wanna be a moderator?
I don't really anticipate this group becoming unmanagable, but I figured I'd ask for volunteers. When I'm not at work I only have my phone for internet so if any moderating is needed it'll be difficult.
Bonuses
So the hospital I work for is part of a multimillion dollar company. When I worked at smaller clinics there were bonuses, and christmas parties paid for by the company, but at this place nothing. It's even getting to the point that the owner isn't buying meals for the holidays. We're doing a freakin pot luck on christmas…
*sigh*
Just got a phone call that there's a schnauzer on it's way who has been having trouble walking so the owner has been giving it ibuprofen for 2 days and now it's drinking excessively. I love when people take a mild situation and turn it deadly out of stupidity.
New and Improved Crash Cart
I just did this. I'm so proud of myself I have to post pictures. Previously everything in the hospital was just thrown in the drawers and it had carboard divders covered in old nasty porous tape that no-one paid attention to. Top of cart Top drawer: Airway Second Drawer: Drugs Third Drawer: Venous Access Bottom Drawer:…

We have everything overnight, from medical boarders and post op spays to hemoabdomens and HBC's. I love emergency because…
Happy Vet Tech Week!
Little late, but I wanted to wish every a Happy Vet Tech Week!
Schanuzer Syndrome - tell me how YOUR clinic treats it!
EDIT : Just noticed I misspelled 'Schnauzer' in the title, stupid typos. *hangs head in shame* It won't let me fix it! Haha! Hey guys! So one of my Mini Schnauzers just was diagnosed with Schnauzer Syndrome. We all know what it is, but tell me how your Doctors decide to treat it. My doc prescribed Oxydex shampoo every…
AAHA Certification
Apparently I've been assigned to a committee to make sure we pass AHAA certification. Yay? Any tips?
Burn Out
I've worked in veterinary medicine since I was 15 yrs old......I'm 30 now, so that's 15 years experience. I've done NOTHING else...never worked fast food, retail, nothing. I periodically get burn out. I'm experiencing it so bad right now that it's taking everything I have in me to not just walk out. It has more to do with…
