Hey y'all, Who else is applying to UI-CVM this cycle?

I keep going back and forth on whether I want to become a veterinarian or veterinary technician. I love/hate both for different reasons. I love veterinarian because I love that I get to have a sick or injured animal, make a plan and be able to fix them. Plus I can live comfortably. I hate how...

Had a prescription for gabapentin come across the bench the other day for an 8 year old, and boy the dose seemed high. As I prepared to contact the prescriber, I realized the patient had four legs and a tail. For the life of me, I couldn't find a decent vet dosing guide. Do you have a go-to?
