Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I tried a new recipe tonight. Chicken and sweet potato curry in the crock pot. It was amazing until I took my last bite and there was a piece of glass in it :scared:. I have no idea where it came from. None of my dishes were chipped, nothing has broken in the kitchen recently. I checked everything. So it either came from the rice or the chicken. I threw the rest of it away because I don't know where it came from. So bummed and kind of freaked out!

Mega random question.

How do you change the line in your profile that says "Member" to something else?

I bet it's right in front of my face and I don't even realize it. :bang:

Awesome! Thank you.

"So what did you do on Friday?"

"Oh, I posted on SDN from the time I walked in the door."

:laugh: I had a client the other day that wouldn't even put the dog down on the scale to get a weight. She got on holding the dog then handed it over to her husband while she weighed just herself. It was only there to get yearly vaccines 😱

We had a client that was adamant that none of us knew how to properly pick up, carry or move his severely obese pomeranian. He would insist that on he could pick up the dog to put on scale, carry the dog to the treatment area, etc. But it would always take him forever to do so... because the dog would have to be "ready" to be weighed or whatever. All of the techs talked about it but I would somehow be caught up with something else when he came in so I was lucky in not having to deal with him, until one day when I finally got the joy of checking him in... I didn't even wait for him to say not to pick the dog up off the table... I told him, I need to check her weight, picked her up, set her on the scale in one quick move and put her back... I was done before he could say anything.
 
Just got done wedding dress shopping. Fun, and confusing all at once. 🙂 😕
 
A recent graduate c/o 2012 tufts told me today that the secret to getting into any vet school is to lie and say you want to work with chickens. Chickens in a laboratory, specifically.

Then 2 months into your 1st year have an epiphany and realize that you hate chickens again.


How does everyone feel about that? It sort of made me laugh. I don't hate chickens, but I dont like them either.

I would say they aren't going to buy it unless you have some real chicken experience. Regardless, not something I would really consider doing.

Haha, It used to be the thing to say that you wanted to do food animal. I really don't think it matters what you say you want to focus on, you just better be sure you can back up what you say. If you say you want to work with chickens, you better have some poultry experience on your application. Don't lie. That's not ok and the ad com would probably be able to see through you anyways. It is ok to change your mind once you are in.

I would never, i don't even think I could keep a straight face while proclaiming my love for chickens. I do have experience with chickens, and therefore am not a fan. Usually the chickens I am handling are confiscated and therefore disgusting and not nice. Plus, idk, the moral implications of lying aren't cool with me. I just thought it was rather funny.
 
He also told me that some people lie and say they are interested in lab animal medicine. Once they get into school and graduate they actually sometimes end up in laboratories and enjoy it when they originally didn't want to, at least for a few years post graduation.

HAHA! I do actually like chickens and have taken quite a few classes involving poultry. But I didn't mention it in my PS because I want a rural mixed practice. Maybe it'll still help looking at my transcripts :xf::laugh:

Random question I was wondering if anyone knows the answer too. I am preparing a presentation on EEE. Some sources call it encephalomyelitis, some encephalitis. I know the difference in the terms themselves, just wondering why they are used interchangably? most of the "encephalitis" sources are human- CDC, NEJM, PloS, etc. Most of the "encephalomyelitis" sources are veterinary- AAEP, Merck, USDA, etc. I can't seem to google an answer for my exact question, so I was wondering if anyone could answer it... Is it encephalitis in humans and encephalomyelitis in everthing else?

ETA: Do people actually say "Triple E" when they talk about it? That's what some articles have said... I don't live in an area where its a concern, so when we talk about it its only for vaccination purposes and just say "this does eastern, western, west nile" or something to that effect. I would love to not have to say "eastern equine encephalomyelitis" a hundred times in my 45 min presentation, but also don't want to sound like a dork if no one actually says "triple E" other than mainstream newspapers 🙂

I've always called it triple E, but I've never been involved with an equine vet and they'd be the ones to know what to call it. I wouldn't think there's anything wrong with saying triple E.
