@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.socialThe #veterinary industry in the US should be #lobbying for this to become a #law here (instead of lobbying to keep declawing legal!) 🤨 🫵

@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.social@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.social🎯 Of course... we do have our share of poorly (informally, hastily, OTJ) trained staff doing sensitive tasks they should not be doing in #veterinarymedicine, too. 😞 This kind of thing can & DOES sometimes happen in #vetmed. It's one of our dirty little secrets. 🤷♀️

@pucvm.bsky.socialLaminitis is a painful condition affecting the structures that support the bones inside a horse’s hoof.
Warm hooves, increased digital pulses, reluctance to walk and repeated weight shifting can be warning signs.
Contact your veterinarian promptly if you suspect laminitis.
@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.socialMy last employer- an INDEPENDENT DVM- was this exact same way. He was trying to grow into his OWN #corporation. 🤷♀️ No matter WHO owns your #veterinary hospital, if #profits are their first concern, RUN THE OTHER WAY.

@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.social"How do we fix the #veterinary #staffing crisis?" cry the bigwigs, wringing their hands. 🤨
GET. BETTER. #LEADERSHIP. 🤨 STOP CHEWING YOUR SUPPORT #STAFF UP & SPITTING US OUT. 😡

@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.socialManagement is terrible in #vetmed, period, in my personal experience. 😞 I kept hopping from one hospital to another, hoping to find better, but never found it. And since the pandemic, everyone blames THAT for the #veterinary staffing crisis, instead of the industry-wide management issues. 🤷♀️
@drjedijones.bsky.socialThe Tapeworm Cycle 🔄
Reminder: You cannot get rid of tapeworms without getting rid of the fleas. They are a package deal. Treat both or the worms will be back in 3 weeks.
@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.social@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.socialAnd yet, far too much of the conversation around this topic centers on "mean clients" as one of the main causes of suicide in #vetmed. To the point where pet guardians are shamed on social media for voicing valid complaints. This isn't accurate or fair.

@lindajblue.bsky.socialThis is “Cancer Doesn’t Care” by Gayle Uyehara (Instagram @primrose_aria), colored pencil on pastel paper capturing the indomitable spirit of Prim, a cat in treatment for nose cancer. Gorgeous rendering of a beautiful cat. #Cats #Art #BeatCancer #VetMed
@pucvm.bsky.socialEnrichment gives cats opportunities to move, explore and use natural behaviors like climbing, scratching and hunting. 🐱
Try a cat tree, wand toy, puzzle feeder, scratching surface, hiding spot or rotating selection of toys to add variety to their day.
@zoognosisjoy.bsky.socialAnnecdotally, I've heard that the US/Canada trade war is horrible for asthmatic cats. Many US vets used to buy inhalers from suppliers in Canada because it was 10x cheaper. Now they're forced to buy inhalers in the states where the cost is prohibitive. Cats will suffer+die thanks to DT! #vetmed
@serorepair.bsky.socialThe #1 question for dosing eye serum. How frequently is it applied at home?

@yourotherfamilydr.bsky.socialThe CLP makes some good points, but they can't be entirely trusted EITHER. 🤷♀️😞

@pucvm.bsky.socialDog socialization doesn’t require greeting every dog.
Positive experiences can include play, calmly sharing space or observing another dog from a comfortable distance. Watch body language, give dogs space and avoid forcing interactions.
