Hi my name is Jenny! I am a second-year veterinary student in Canada. Welcome to my veterinary student page!

I plan on sharing my experience throughout vet school as well as pet information from cool cases and knowledge that I've acquired along the way!

Josie is giving model every dang day 🤩 So I’ve been a vet for approximately 3 weeks LOL and listennnnnn, I love it! It’s actually so fun 😌 I meet so many cute patients, and sweet clients. I absolutely love my coworkers, they’re all super helpful and supportive! Of course there are moments where I’m like oh boysie this is a bit much but, those moments are few and far between…in my few mins of being a vet LOL. Still have yet to change my handle 😬 I’m going to miss it 😢

Heading into the future with my girlie by my side 🥰 I couldn’t have possibly done this without the support from my fiancé, family, friends and IG fam! But most of all- the real OGs know that I couldn’t do it without Minnie. As I sat in convocation, I was so happy and proud to be done, but I thought of Minnie so much. She was with me in undergrad, getting rejected from vet school twice, getting in, blue coat ceremony and crying over exams. Losing her in third year was devastating and reaching this milestone without her makes me sad, but I’m so happy she sent the perfect chi to love 🤍 Our lil Jo, who is happily heading into this next step with me. How lucky am I to have found TWO sweet angels in this lifetime! Also how cute is this heckin pic 🥹 absolutely obsessed with her.

Josie posing with flowers, oh that’s ✨Posie ✨ I am soaking up these last few weeks off before I officially start my career as a veterinarian 👩🏻‍⚕️ It’s tulip season so we went to see some tulip gardens yesterday and today we went on a few hikes! Which were extremely short because it’s flooded around here and I’m not swimmin through the mud 🥴

Happy Easter 🐣 throwback to Minnie with the prettiest Easter cookies!

GUYS, I did it! I PASSED MY NAVLE 🥹😁 I can’t believe this day has finally come! I have my veterinary license 💃🏻 I’m still in school until April, but the biggest exam of my entire life is behind me. I am so grateful for the endless support I’ve received throughout my veterinary journey from my fiancé 😏, family, friends and insta friends! I am one lucky girlie!! BUT let’s take a moment to remember the most supportive girl of ALL time- Minnie. She’s the one I studied this hard for, the one who continues to motivate and inspire me every day to continue helping animals, even though she’s no longer here ☁️. Here are some pics from my blue coat ceremony, way back in first year. And to think I’ve now passed the NAVLE?! I’m stunned!

Merry Christmas 🎄

Your girlie is ✨ engaged ✨ what an amazing way to end 2022 with the love of my life ♥️ I am so lucky 🥰

Day 2 of my rotation, and I’m loving it of course. How could I not with how cute this lil baby was today?!? He was the biggest snuggle bug, we were all obsessed. This morning I watched a few surgeries (lumpectomy, dental, neuter) and then spent the afternoon in appointments! I also got to see some really good clients over the past two days, be reunited with my work fam AND partake in Christmas festivities 🎄 Does a more perfect rotation exist? I don’t think so!

13/12/2022

Well, my NAVLE is finally complete! ✅ it is officially Christmas break guys!! I am going to be spending time with my family, decorating (she’s a little late to the game) and max relaxing 😌 If you have any questions about the NAVLE/process drop them in the comments 🤗

365 days of missing Minnie, 365 days too long. I wasn’t sure if I would make a grid post on this day, because this day took so much from me last year that I didn’t really want to give it anything else. But I also want to honour Min. I miss her snorts, zoomies, chasing each other, our naps, runs, walks, hikes, licker alerts- literally everything. I could literally go on and on forever, she was just the most perfect being I’ll ever know.

Minnie and I were truly inseparable, she was my whole world, so this past year has been devastating. I feel like I haven’t had much time to process losing her, with how busy my school schedule is, which has been beyond difficult. I love being a vet student but this year my grief added on an extra layer of difficulty because while I study- I find myself constantly wondering if I could’ve done more for her. The cases I see, remind me of her- every respiratory distress is torture. Every luxating patella, brachy, knobby knee’d lil chi reminds me of her (and I want to steal them all). It’s been a long year, a very long year of missing a very small girl. I love you endlessly Minnie. ♥️

An actual depiction of my friends/classmates getting me through 4th year 😅 not pictured: Kar scolding us for doing this. I made it to the top of the sign and froze in fear of disappointing her because she insisted this was very unprofessional 😂 was she wrong? No. Did I then dismount?Absolutely. We were trying to get cute photos marking the end of our primary healthcare rotation together- but here we are 😂

07/11/2022

That’s a wrap on my rotation at OVC’s general practice ✅ it was such a blast, we had the best team (in my opinion 😇) one of the team member’s is pictured here, I took a knee to pick him up but couldn’t get back up because 1. I’m weak and used to smol dogs and 2. He was smothering me with kisses 🥰 I now have the week off to study for my NAVLE, which is great but I’m sweatin’ about it 😅 Stay tuned for some more pics of this rotation LOL it was rich 😌

19/10/2022

This photo of Mill is just too good- it needed a spot on the grid. Her face is how I feel rn 😂 a concerned disaster.

13/10/2022

Tomorrow is the last day of my ophtho rotation! 👁 Your girl can now do a neuro-ophthalmic exam with confidence 💁🏻‍♀️ This rotation has been SO helpful for getting more familiar with various eye conditions and how they present. I got to see a few surgeries too! A few enucleations (eye removal) and a transconjunctival graft! The reason why the graft was performed was because the patient had a very deep ulcer called a desmetocele! It was thiiiis close 🤏 to rupturing, so a graft was placed using other ocular tissue (conjunctiva) to give the eye physical support and introduce new blood vessels to aid in healing. It was pretty cool to see because this surgery has to be done with such small tools that a massive microscope has to be used!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍂

I still exist guys 😅 Here I am doing a wound repair and placing a drain at my externship! Since my externship, I’ve done a rotation at a local small animal clinic and now I’m doing my school rotations. So far I’ve done neurology 🧠 and cardiology ♥️ and now I’m doing emergency & critical care for the week! In between cases, and almost all of my spare time is spent doing Vet Prep for the NAVLE (the vet licensing exam) 😌 so she is stressed as heck!

27/08/2022

Happy national dog day to the sweetest being I’ll ever know, Minnie ♥️

16/08/2022

Administering activated charcoal to a fluffy little patient- so we of course had to place her lil ears in a hair tie (gently and just for a moment) to help keep her clean! We also wrapped her in a towel to act as a bib. Activated charcoal is SO messy, it’s what is in the tube I’m holding, it’s black and typically gets all over patients. It is administered orally and is given when a pet has ingested a toxin. It helps to absorb the toxin(s) and helps to keep it from going into the bloodstream. It is usually used in combination with inducing emesis (vomiting). We will induce emesis and then give activated charcoal!

06/08/2022

Met someone new today, she was pretty cute 😊

02/08/2022

On the first day of my externship I was lucky enough to meet a very sweet chi breeder (and now friend), Paula at Miso Chihuahua] ! What are the chances?! Since then I’ve had the pleasure of looking after her entire chi family (and more!). These are 4 of her most recent pups! How adorable are they?! 🥺 you could say I am totallllyyy in heaven! You all know I’ve been missing Minnie SO much and meeting the Miso Chihuahua] family is just what my heart needed 🥰

26/07/2022

Hi 👋🏻 it’s me! I’m on week 4 of my externship and I’ve already learned sooo much. This week I’m on large animal but I got to stay in small today and do a mid-femoral amputation! It was my first ever “solo” surgery, meaning no one else was scrubbed in with me BUT I was so lucky to have a mentor in the room with me guiding me through the entire process. It was an amazing experience! Definitely couldn’t have done it without support from the whole team- cause your girl was sweating 🥵 phew, a good start to the week 😮‍💨 Shout out to on anesthesia 💉 ♥️

26/06/2022

Using my stetho as I should 😅 it’s a new week guys, so that means a new rotyyyy (row-TEE aka rotation), at my fav clinic. It’s a clinic filled with amazing mentors and the whole team is like family to me 🥰. So far fourth year has been so busy with all of this travel, but it’s been a dream! After this week I start my 8 week long mixed animal externship. This means I’ll be working with large animals too, and wearing coveralls in this heat 🥵 wish me luck 😂 (stay tuned for coverall OOTDs).

16/06/2022

If anything, Bowie’s ✨everything✨

13/06/2022

Tomorrow I start my 4th rotation! (At some point I’m going to start losing count 😅) I am a little tired from the travelling but I’m ready for another day of living my dream, caring for animals ♥️

08/06/2022

Fuzzy wuzzy was a …Chow? 🐻 Just two more days left of this rotation, then I go back home to my work fam for my next rotation (at the clinic I worked at for over a decade 🤯). A lot of people ask me if I HAD to travel this much for rotations, and the answer is no! I decided to do it for fun, because I’ve been so glued to my hometown while in vet school so I wanted to go experience some new clinics in different places. Which has been tiring but, good because it allows me to make new connections with some great people! ♥️

31/05/2022

Looking for my motivation to study for the NAVLE🧐 jk, I was looking at ear cytology! When your pet has an ear infection we always take a swab to see if it is bacteria, yeast, mites, etc. And I have NOT started studying for the NAVLE yet, but will be soon 🥲

27/05/2022

Okay, I love all animals but hear me out….picture this…an animal hospital for chihuahuas 🥰🤷🏻‍♀️ my dream 💭 Anyways, that is a wrap on my second rotation! I come back to this hospital in 2 weeks…and in 4 weeks so they can’t get rid of me yet 🥴 It was so nice to reconnect with my old work fam ♥️ Cant wait to see them again 🥰

25/05/2022

Radiographs ft. Daisy 🦴 She was in today because a couple of months ago she had been diagnosed with a grade 1 heart murmur. Over the past week she has been acting a little bit “off”. She has been panting, not wanting to sleep under the covers, and has been intermittently off food (but she is normally pretty picky). Her physical exam revealed that her murmur has progressed to a 4 🙁 so she is scheduled in for an echo with a cardiologist but in the meantime she got chest x-rays done today to ensure that she’s not currently in congestive heart failure. Swipe to see her rads! What do you think? P.S Daisy is my sister 😉 🥰

23/05/2022

My 1st rotation is done, and tomorrow I’m onto the next. This past rotation I got to do with my friend , at the wonderful clinic she works at! It was so fun, I wish I could’ve stayed longer. I got to participate in appointments, experience emergency cases and scrub in to a cystotomy and a neuter and assist in dentistries. I even got to experience a mini- concert there LOL (in a staff meeting). Tomorrow’s rotation is at a hospital I used to work at for just a biiiit (over 10yrs 😅) so it should be great to reconnect with everyone! 👩🏻‍⚕️

Day in the life but make it night. Not pictured: staring at treatment sheets for literal hours 😅 This night was a slow night that was luckily uneventful and I had a second vet on! 😮‍💨 #vet #vetmed #emergencydoctor #doctor

My forever bestie ♥️

Some highlights of a day in the life of a 3rd year vet student on a surgery day!

We’ve all been there 😅 so let me give you some tips on how to avoid it, and how to get through it (I’m here for you boo ♥️) Avoiding it: • Make yourself a schedule/ to-do lists everyday of your non negotiables, so you at least get your very important tasks (aka lectures) completed. I screenshot my week of lectures and mark them off as I go to try to stay on track! • Watch lectures during your most productive time of day-you don’t have to watch them live! Do them when you “want” to. • Take breaks! • Speed up the playback of your lectures, you’ll get through them much faster. 💻 How to get THROUGH it: • Make your notes as you watch (don’t do them after you watch because you’re on a time crunch!). • No time for notes? Write down difficult concepts as you go through lectures to make a “quick note” doc for yourself to be able to rapidly review later. • Double speed or triple speed those lectures! It’s. A. Life. Saver. • Study the review questions, or any previous tests you have- it’ll give you a good idea of what concepts you definitely need to know! 💻 Lastly, don’t sweat it. We have all been there. The worst that can happen is…you fail. Which we have all done! It doesn’t mean you’re kicked our, career is over. It means you’re going to have to get some help and try again! You can do it 💪🏻 #Studying #MedSchool #Vetmed #VetStudent #Vet #Exams #Explore #Doctor #Dogtor

Merry Christmas

✨ Rehab with Phoebe ✨ This senior girl joins us on the regular for physical rehabilitation. As you can see she really enjoys the underwater treadmill! She also knows just how to coax us to give her more treats with her puppy dog eyes and barks 😂 (the treats come from the left- hence why she is staring longingly to the left 😆). The treadmill is a great way for Phoebe to maintain her muscle mass and promote range of motion in her joints!
