Show us your babies !!!

I am worn out from trying to care for all of the pets in town that do not have a regular vet and do not provide these pets with preventative care. For those of you who are unaware every pet in the state of Texas is required by law to have a rabies vaccine by the age of TWELVE WEEKS It must then be boostered a year later, followed by annual or tri annual injections. There has recently been an increase in the number of rabies cases in the region. Texas law states that if an animal that is not following this protocol, it must be quarantined by qualified officials for 10 days to monitor for symptoms OR humanely euthanized and submitted for rabies testing. This is extremely important so that the person or pet bitten by such animal can relieve proper care as rabies can cause a number of issues or death.
I am also tired of veterinarians in general being bashed by people on social media who NEVER know the full story about what is being said. Some of these bite cases happen as we are trying to help a sick or injured pet. In certain situations it is not possible to muzzle or sedate for health concerns. We try our best to treat every pet and client with kindness.
Veterinarians are working long hours to try and pick up the slack for these pets who have no regular vet. They are not vaccinated, are not spayed/neutered or on heartworm prevention. We as a profession lose doctors daily to SU***DE because of the way we are treated by the public which only makes more difficult for us to fit you in. Please be kind and get the full story before acting ugly!
*****as for the most RECENT POST...
The pet in question was extremely ill. I was trying to take an xray of the pup to try and diagnose why he was having difficulty breathing. Patient had not had any previous care and was suffering. While quarantine was offered....it would have been inhumane in this case as the baby would not have been able to receive proper diagnostics and treatment during the quarantine.
It is also very possible that he was suffering from an untreatable illness.
PLEASE BE KIND!!!! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN SOMEONE ELSES LIFE AND YOUR HARSH WORDS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO TAKE THEIR OWN LIFE!!!

👉🏼Did you know vet medicine has one of the leading Su***de rates.👈🏼

Every time a person in vet medicine smiles at you , they are smiling past the loss of a pet that they only new for a few moments but felt every ounce of the family’s pain as it took it’s last breath. Every time a person in vet medicine tells you they’ve had a long day, that’s their way of saying. They’ve been cussed out , felt like a failure to their team, felt like they didn’t do enough for every single pet they saw that day even tho they did everything medically possible. They’ve been scratched, bitten, mentally and physically drained/exhausted. Did they even eat that day? They balanced 6 clients at once to keep them happy just so another could tell them how much of an inconvenience they are as a clinic. Every time they have to apologize to you because your appointment is running a few minutes behind , they truely are 100% sorry. They could have just had everyone on staff trying to save the life of a pet, every one available were grasping every ounce of hope provided to them , and it still not have been enough. Maybe that’s not the case at all maybe they are running late to your appointment because the person in front of you had a brand new puppy or kitten and the staff just needed that little sweet innocent breath a few more minutes to help them remember why they love what they do. Maybe your veterinarian just worked a new puppy visit with a child and told them of all the wonderful years they had to come and now they are going into a room to help a family say their final good byes to their pet of many years. Maybe that same client has called 6 times for medicine and every time they are getting more short tempered because no one has called them back and every single time we promise we are going to call you back! But as soon as we hang up three more people show up , two more call. In between phone calls and appointments they are also checking in on all the hospitalized pets and keeping every one balanced the best they can. At the end of every day they take home all the good , bad , and ugly. Some days those are equal and some days you wanna close those doors and not look back. Did you know they do this all with a smile on their face so the CLIENTS are happy. Every time someone in vet medicine tells you sorry they are apologizing for so much more then what you can even begin to imagine.

Be KIND, there's a lot going on everyday. We absolutely try our best! We never want to see you lose your pet, or run behind on your schedule appointment time due to the 2-3 emergencies that we are working on at one time. ❤️🐾
