Some bite, and some scratch during an exam; but some are way too clever!
What do YOU do to your doctor during exam?

“Unless you have a very close relationship with a veterinarian, you probably don’t actually know much about what their day to day life involves. Many career choices have dramatic highs and lows but there is a perfect storm of the personality types that excel in vet med (often type A, self critical, ambitious, yet extremely compassionate with high investment into their work and skill level, unlikely to be great at self preservation) with the nature of the job itself (very long hours of high intensity work, burden of hefty student loans, sleep deprivation, high emotional toll, high self and client expectation, inability to “turn off”, self perpetuating culture of work obsession).

People never cease to be shocked when I correct the idea that the hardest part of this job is having to euthanize old animals. Not even close. They also are almost always surprised to learn that vet medicine incorporates one of the highest su***de rates across all professions. These losses are highly talented and committed individuals who nobody suspected of struggling until it was just too late.

If you are linked to a person on social media who works in veterinary medicine, you may have noticed them changing their profile picture to include "NOMV" with the Rod of Asclepius. Some of you may know, but if you don't, NOMV stands for Not One More Vet because we have one of the highest su***de rates of any profession. A CDC study showed that female veterinarians are 3.5 times more likely to die by su***de than the average person and male veterinarians are 2.1 times more likely. When you see your friend or social media acquaintance change their profile, it's usually because they have learned of another colleague that succumbed to su***de. This crisis is multifactorial. High debt and subsequent financial struggles, poor work life balance, compassion fatigue, threats of lawsuits, board complaints and cyberbullying.

For my non-veterinary friends, understand that vets are under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure. Please be kind to ALL of our staff. They matter too.

Realize none of us are "in it for the money" and are "trying to run a bill up". Both those statements are asinine.

If you see people bullying a vet online, for the love of all things, do not pile on. Veterinarians literally kill themselves over that kind of stuff.

We lost 3 more this week alone and another in the past month. We are literally dying trying to help you and your pets. We are humans, not punching bags. Your words and behavior matter. “ copied from so many others who want to raise more awareness of this issue.

Dogs bring such joy to children's lives. What more could signal they are a part of the family when the kids add the dogs' growing (or grown) heights to the growth chart wall. Two-legged standing height of course!🤣

Introducing our veterinarians: Dr Meredith - senior veterinarian.

After completing a BA/BSc(hon) and then a PhD in medical research, Meredith went on to pursue clinical veterinary medicine with a passion for helping animals and owners. Dr Meredith graduated with her Bachelor of Veterinary Science degree, with honors, from the University of Melbourne, in 2008.

Since graduating 15 years ago, Meredith has practiced in numerous fixed and mobile small animal clinics throughout western Melbourne. She enjoys both medicine and surgery. She likes nutting out complex medical cases as well as undertaking complex advanced surgeries, whatever is needed to make animals feel better. Her aims are to be gentle, empathic, and thorough.

At various times, Meredith has owned a mouse, rat, guinea pigs, rabbit, bird, dogs, and cats. Currently, Soxy, Mabel, Sam, and Taylor (cats) and Daisy (a 7 month old rambacious Cocker Spaniel) rule the house.

Ignore the fact the floor desperately needs a vacuum from the destructive habits of a puppy and appreciate the raw enthusiasm of a dog greeting its owner. Everytime. No matter if it was 5 minutes or 5 hours since we were last together. No animal could have as much enthusiasm as this dog!!!

Wait for it...

I don't think I've ever been more nervous about meeting a puppy in my life! It was 2019 that our old girl, Thea, died in her sleep at age 15. Today we finally welcomed a new puppy, a new Cocker Spaniel - Daisy - home. It is a huge responsibility welcoming a new family member, and especially a puppy, who hopefully will also be around for 15 years or more. I hope we can make you happy little girl. BEST DECISION EVER!

Ringworm (dermatophytosis) is caused by certain fungi that infect the hair shafts and top layer of skin. It occurs most commonly in kittens, puppies, and immunocompromised animals, and can spread to humans. It causes skin lesions and patches of hair loss. (The term ringworm was given because in humans this fungal skin rash typically presents as a red scaley ring.) One ringworm fungal species (Microsporum canis) fluoresces under ultraviolet light at wavelengths of 340-450 nm (Woods lamp). [***Remember: not all UV lights are equal. The light must be within these wavelengths. And your standard dental/eye blue lights are not.***] However, only 50% of Microsporum canis strains fluoresce. Other ringworm species also do not fluoresce. Hence, lack of fluorescence does not rule out ringworm. So other diagnostic techniques are also used. Ringworm can spread easily to other animals in the household and to humans. Treatment of affected animals and thorough decontamination of the environment is essential. If you are concerned about ringworm, at Tarneit Mobile Vet we always carry a Woods lamp to all our home visits.

When puppy Rex sneakily got into some rat bait, Dr Ebrahim, from Tarneit Mobile Vet, called to visit. Rat bait is highly toxic. It works by preventing the blood from clotting and causing animals to bleed to death. Luckily Rex's dad discovered his antics quite soon after the event. Dr Ebrahim gave Rex an injection to make him vomit the rat bait he'd not long eaten - and we discovered he'd eaten a lot of it! After his stomach was completely emptied, Rex was then given an injection to stop the vomiting. Dr Ebrahim then fed Rex activated charcoal paste. The activated charcoal binds to any remaining rat bait toxins in the gut to stop the body from absorbing them. In the process, Rex flicked his tongue at exactly the right moment to create this work of art.

*WARNING* *SNAKES* *SKELETON CREEK* We are still receiving videos of many sightings of snakes around Tarneit, along Skeleton Creek. They are out sunbaking close to paths and in grasses. Be very careful letting your dogs roam off leash currently. Watch out for warning signs in cats. * Initially, maybe vomiting, but then maybe back to normal for a short period...then * Dilated pupils that do contract with bright light * Walking unsteadily, progressing to weakness, paralysis, and an inability to get up * Trouble breathing * Bloody or red coloured urine * Bloody poo * Bruising * Sensitivity to touch, pain The primary symptoms are due to a combination of one of more of: 1. Neurotoxicity (Dilated non-responsive pupils, progressive paralysis starting with the legs then progressing to trouble breathing and complete paralysis) 2. Blood clotting defects - bleeding, bruising, bloody urine, bloody poo 3. Muscle toxicity- very high muscle proteins (creatinine kinase) in blood, red coloured urine from the breakdown of muscle proteins, extreme muscle pain If you suspect a snake bite, get immediately to a vet clinic for tests - examination of the pupils and neurological system, blood clotting tests, and a blood test to check for very high creatinine kinase in the blood. If confirmed (or if suspected), the best chance for recovery and survival is prompt administration of antivenom.

*WARNING* *SNAKES* *SKELETON CREEK* The heavy rains have lead to high vegetation growth and the proliferation of insects and small animals. With lots to eat, snake numbers have proliferated. Snakes are out in large numbers currently, seen basking along waterways. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL with your dogs and cats this summer.
