Our veterinary techs/nurses are true angels......this gives the world a little insight to the many things they do on a daily!

Appreciate them be kind as they have your furry companions best interest at heart ALWAYS.

Working with animals isn't just a job it's a passion and takes those amazing people to get it done. ♥️

i talked to your best friend tonight.

i told him the hospital gossip. i told him about every single taylor swift album. i told him about the most recent loser i’d dated, and even showed him my dating profile. i told him to be brave. i told him i’d make sure he was comfortable. i told him i would advocate for him. i told him he wasn’t alone.

and i held your best friend tonight.

i held him as he seized uncontrollably. i held him as he moaned in pain. i held him after he got hit by a car. i held him as he bled internally. i held him as he relentlessly barked, so i brought blankets into his kennel for us to spoon while i read him a book. i held him, when he couldn’t hold himself.

i held him as we unblocked him. i held him as his hind legs no longer worked. i held him as he got aggressive renal therapies. i held him as his abdomen filled with fluid. i held him as he tried to kill me night 1, but curled up in my lap and enjoyed an episode of family guy with me on night 3.

but most importantly, i loved your best friend tonight.

i know you weren’t there to talk to him. i know you weren’t there to hold him. and i know you weren’t there when his heart stopped…but i was.

so, i talked to your best friend tonight. i told him that you loved and missed him so much. and i held your best friend tonight, hoping it was the same way that you held him. but most importantly, i loved your best friend tonight. enough for the both of us.

hug a veterinary nurse ❤️

Many cats eat plants because they enjoy the taste. Others consume plants because they are bored, stressed, or attracted by the movement of the plants.
Symptoms of toxic plant ingestion include:
Vomiting
Lethargy
Diarrhea
Drooling
Nausea
Weakness
Please call us or your local veterinarian if you are concerned that your pet may have ingested any of these house plants 🪴

“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.
