Photos of obscure toylines are always so...

...intriguing

Vivid Imaginations (same company as My Beautiful Horses) produced a ton of different toylines to benefit the RSPCA, all branded as "Animal Hospital." They licensed the Puppy in My Pocket brand for one line, and there are plenty of photos of both that and their AniMagic line, as well as their rescue vehicles/buildings. But the Pocket Babies/Magic Pet Surprise/On Location lines??? I feel like I'm hunting bigfoot

It literally has never come up before in my 20 years as a tech, and I got cussed out on tikytok for my admittance of never hearing of this condition before. Explanation of the condition under the break.

Stud tail is a RARE hormonal condition that causes the sebaceous glands in the tail of (usually) unneutered male cats as they enter into puberty. Can be seen in neutered and female cats, but again, it’s rare.

My cat was a neutered male. He had some greasiness on his tail. The video I first heard about this commented that the patient she was working on had it. She explained what it was, but didn’t explain much further than what I did above. I’ve seen one or two other cats in my entire career that had greasy fur on the tail. None were to the point of having pain, and my boss had said it happens sometimes but didn’t explain what it was. That was the extent of my experience with it.

Apparently bad cases of it can be ouchy, but the vast majority (as far as I can tell, I’m still learning about it) are not bothersome.

I learn new things every day and I’m not going to pretend I know everything about vet medicine even though I’ve been doing it 20 years today. It’s perfectly ok for me to have not heard about a rare condition that affects a minute amount of my patients. It meant I had an opportunity to learn. I hope to have more opportunities tomorrow.

I also hope to not have someone else attempt to make me to feel inadequate because I had not heard of a condition.

#veterinary medicine #veterinary #vet tech #vet #animal hospital #it’s sad when I let that lady know that it’s unhealthy to be suspicious of everyone all the time #and that it is okay that I didn’t know something about a rare condition #that she had to call me some nasty things and say I must be a terrible vet tech if I didn’t know about stud tail #the fuck. #obviously I stopped all communication and blocked her because you curate your own experience on these apps #it’s just sad though! like I really hope she can get past whatever made her this way and become a happier person

Wanted to get this  20"x24" painting done so I could gift it before X-Mas. Worked on it all week until early this morning.

It's a gift to our local veterinarian. I wanted to thank him for coming out of retirement to return to being our vet. No new doctors had answered the want ads to fulfill the vacant position. So, he came back.

I didn't know how else to express my appreciation than with some art.

Watercolor, gouache, colored pencils, and ink.

The Benefits of Using Endoscopy in a Veterinary Practice

In recent years, veterinary medicine has seen significant advancements in diagnostic and treatment technologies. One such advancement that has revolutionized veterinary practice is the use of endoscopy. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a flexible instrument called an endoscope to visualize and examine the internal organs and structures of animals. In this blog post, we will explore the numerous benefits of using endoscopy in a veterinary practice.

Accurate Diagnosis

Endoscopy allows veterinarians to get a clear and detailed view of the internal organs and structures of animals. This enables a more accurate and precise diagnosis of various conditions and diseases. By directly visualizing the problem area, veterinarians can identify abnormalities, such as tumors, foreign objects, ulcers, strictures, and more. Accurate diagnosis leads to more effective treatment plans and better outcomes for our furry friends.

Minimally Invasive

Compared to traditional surgical procedures, endoscopy is minimally invasive. Instead of making large incisions, endoscopy only requires small incisions or natural body openings, such as the mouth or anus. This results in less pain, discomfort, and a faster recovery time for animals. Minimally invasive procedures also reduce the risk of post-operative complications, including infection and excessive scarring.

Reduced Patient Stress

Veterinary visits can often be stressful for animals. However, with endoscopy, the stress levels are significantly reduced. Instead of being put under general anesthesia for invasive surgeries, animals undergoing endoscopy typically receive sedation or local anesthesia. This reduces their anxiety, minimizes the risks associated with general anesthesia, and makes the overall experience less traumatic for both the animals and their owners.

Versatility

Endoscopy is a versatile procedure that can be used in different areas of veterinary medicine. It can be employed in various specialties, including gastroenterology, urology, respiratory medicine, and more. With different types of endoscopes and specialized instruments, veterinarians can examine and treat a wide range of conditions, such as gastrointestinal disorders, urinary tract issues, airway problems, and even perform biopsies.

Lower Costs

While the initial cost of purchasing endoscopy equipment may be higher than traditional diagnostic tools, such as X-rays or ultrasounds, the long-term benefits can surpass the investment. Endoscopy allows for more accurate diagnoses, reducing the need for additional diagnostic tests and surgeries. This not only saves money for the pet owners but also minimizes the stress and risks associated with unnecessary procedures.

In conclusion, the use of endoscopy in veterinary practice offers numerous benefits. From accurate diagnosis and minimal invasiveness to reduced patient stress and versatility, endoscopy has transformed the way veterinarians approach diagnostics and treatments. By embracing this cutting-edge technology, veterinary practices can provide the best possible care to animals while ensuring their well-being and comfort.

The Vet Tech Tales - Part 1

I was a vet tech for close to 15 years. I've worked at 5 different animal hospitals with about 20 different doctors, and I can firmly tell you, it's not what you think...

Let me start by saying every veterinarian is VERY different and the medical field is always growing, changing and advancing. In some practices, the doctors are very hands on and in others, the techs do almost everything you think the Dr is doing. The 3 things vet techs are legally not allowed to do are diagnose, prescribe and perform surgery. That's it. Everything else, we do. And in some cases, we "strongly encourage" the diagnosis and / or prescription for a patient. We also assist in surgeries and perform solo dentals, clip and cleans, sedated grooms, sedated radiographs and many other "not surgery" surgical procedures. We don't cut during surgery, but we scrub in and hold, twist, turn, wipe and move. (I'll let your imagination run with that, because whatever version your mind comes up with, the answer is yes).

I have loved this job and hated this job. It is very stressful and very rewarding, but at the end of the day, like most jobs, we are underpaid, over worked and unappreciated. The most common misconception about being a vet tech is that we "play with puppies and kittens all day". The 3-4 times a week that we actually get to see a puppy or kitten is pure joy. Animals like their home, their "safe space", their comfort zone. So taking them to a weird place, with crazy smells and unfamiliar people, with the expectation of them just being ok with a stranger, touching them all over and doing things to them that they are not use to, is insane. About 75% of them go into fight or flight mode. Especially the poor babies that are there because of a wound, illness or some kind of trauma. On top of all these crazy things happening that they don't understand, they are also in pain. This field is not for the faint of heart... in fact you have to have an unreasonable balance of stone cold unattachment and an overwhelming amount of love.

The techs, like the doctors, also vary in their work tactics. I did this for a long time, its literally the only thing on my resume. Yes, I obviously needed the paycheck, but I always knew I wanted to work with animals. I wanted to save them, help them, love them. I wanted to feel accomplished and like I was good at something. So I worked my ass off, I learned everything I could learn and all the different ways to do it. I was good at my job. But, the burn out is real. And it's not being burnt out with the animals. Yes, I got bit, scratched, bruised, hissed and growled at, but I never let that hurt my feelings... it's a natural response, or it's a reflection of poor ownership. (That's a whole other topic). I loved helping animals, I am good at helping animals. It's everything else that I grew to hate. The politics, the pay, the unreasonable hours, the unbelievable expectations, poor management, favoritism... basically the people. As previously stated, I wanted to work with animals, not people. I made some lifelong friends, but I made more toxic relationships. I'm honestly not a people person to begin with, I'm not great with authority and I have been known to hold a grudge. I'm not perfect. But the thing with this job, is that you are not allowed to have a life, outside of work. I have 2 kids under the age of 13, I have 2 step daughters in their mid-twenties, a grandbaby and another on the way. I'm also engaged to a wonderful man that works hard and plays harder. I have a life. But you are expected to work 10-12 hour days and weekends, I get it, I signed up for that. My daughter also gets sick a lot. My kids dad is not in the picture and with my fiancé being the main bread winner in our house, it makes sense for me to stay home with her when she's ill. I came to work with pink eye, the flu, covid (yes, I was asked to come in with covid), migraines, sinus infections, stomach bugs, I came in on my days off, I worked late and I took work home with me. But when my 7 year old is sick, I'm staying home with her. I brought her to work with me a few times, but then I was told I couldn't do that any more because she may be contagious. Last time I checked, pink eye and covid are also contagious. The shit that I caught, for having to be a mom, was unthinkable. Of course from the people who do not have kids, I got comments like "Did you enjoy your day off?" "Must be nice to sit at home all day." and eventually "If you miss another day of work within the next 6 months we are going to have to let you go." That's when I quit my last job and never looked back.

It’s been a stressful week. Maxie had about 4 seizures on Monday at like 1 am and we had to take her to the animal hospital where she stayed in the icu for the whole day. I was so stress I barely sleep at all. But she is home now and hasn’t had a seizure at all so let’s hope there will be no more. Besides that it’s been fine. I’ve been walking in the woods more which I love because it’s my happy place. 🌿🗡
