My beloved truck may be on its last legs. I will be SO SAD if I have to give it up. Fingers crossed that it's something fixable that won't cost me a fortune.🙁
if this were true, my class would be like 50% smaller (at 72 people). lame 🙁
A ton of people go into vet school interested in exotics or zoo/wildlife, myself included. It's totally fine to say that's what you're interested in, but I'd show them you're realistic with your expectations and that you're open to exploring other areas. So many people change their interests in school, either because they change their mind or because the field they want to go into is just too competitive. I was so paranoid that my interest in zoo med was going to detract from my application because soooo many people say they're interested in that without understanding the realities of the field or how hard it is to get into. But at least I had experience in the field to back myself up... have you had exotics experience? I could possibly see how they might be put off if you say you're interested in something you don't have experience with, but if you do, then I really don't think it's an issue...
dear roommate. stop crying and moping over ONE TEST GRADE. i swear the world is not over, i swear this happens to everyone (a lot more frequently than you actually), and i swear (at least i think) that your 4.0 is not ruined. cornell isn't going to reject you over one small toxicology exam that everyone did poorly on. i'm sure there are dozens of our classmates that did worse than you given your exam track record. you are miserable to be around and it makes me so mad that you act this way when its a normal part of life, and there are lots of people that i really like that struggle to get by (and study just as much as you do!). its part of life, get over yourself. RAWR. also, stop baking all the time. i love it, i really do, but you are going to make me extremely fat if you continue to make pies, and loves of french bread and cupcakes, and cookies all the time.
Yeah, night before an immuno exam and anatomy lab quiz. Apparently no one slept.
thursday she made mini nutella pies, yesterday she made 2 loaves of french bread covered in cheese and stuffed with cheese, and today she made cupcakes!!! ahhhh i am my own worst enemy! she's made loads of other goodies this semester too haha. sooo good!
Hey, Brass! What type of Master's program are you thinking about? I heard from one pre-vet student that she was applying to CSU for a Master's in Biomedical Sciences. From what I understood from her, the courses that she will be taking will help her become a better applicant for her next admissions cycle. If you are interesting in Animal Science Master's programs, I would check their deadlines. Some of those schools still have deadlines that have not passed.Don't mean to derail the conversation, but I need to rant on the rant thread. I am so irritated right now. I was not accepted to vet school, so I decided to go get a master's degree, but all of the application deadlines for fall admission for the degree programs I was looking at were back in January or early February! I am so irritated at myself for not looking at that earlier, but all I could think of was my admissions decisions for vet school! So now, I have to wait until the end of the year if I want to apply for a master's degree, but by then I'll have already re-submitted my application for vet school. So I'm feeling very stuck, and I don't know what to do, and it's a terrible feeling. I just want to feel like I'm making progress.
I do have some experience. I've been in a small/exotics clinic for almost 3 years and I volunteer at a wildlife center during the weekends. I would hope that the admin people would know I'm serious. That'd be weird if they didn't.
Please ship food to me to enable my foodie tendencies.
As long as you're not in the front, say, watching YouTube videos, then yeah, I don't see a problem. I probably would have told her that her getting distracted is not my problem. I surf the internet during almost every lecture lol
Talking to your REAL friends 😉I've had the question today, what are you doing all day on the chat rooms? Who are you talking to?
non-internetz people don't get it....
vomiting or regurg?
Can you feed them separately? Or do you free feed? My one cat has (I presume) IBD and needs to eat z/d or has massive, liquid stool. I feed them in separate rooms and then let them together when there's no food around (I give z/d dry as treats so they both can eat it).

Active vomiting after every meal. Used to be just after breakfast but it's getting worse.
I do meal times but I can't feed them separately because Lila likes to graze and eats so freaking slowly and Bear feels everything on the planet should be his. Even if I kept her on the normal food and switched him he would steal her food. They had some canned wellness this week and Lila didn't do too badly on that. It's the only thing that Bear managed to keep down.
I feel for you. I've heard that same sentiment from interns a few too many times... and have been known to cause myself problems trying make my opinions on the subject known... I'm thankful I don't have to deal with this anymore... but, a few words of wisdom on the subject: Try to find the small things that make you feel good about the work you are doing, like connecting with the animals, and it may help give you a slightly more positive attitude, and sometimes that can make all the difference in the world. You'd be surprised how some people will tend to trust you with more responsibility when you simply have a positive enthusiastic attitude about everything you do, even if it is boring redundant unpaid labor. And don't forget to just ask if you can be involved with something... people often get busy and forget to invite you to watch things/help out. I will doubly emphasize this point, because I was one of those people who got mad when people forgot to bring me along (especially when I asked ahead of time)... and then became a tech and was the one doing the forgetting all the time...
Thanks for this, it really helps. I'm frustrated today for various reasons, but I have reminded myself that I'm doing it for the animals, and I've surprised myself with how much I've connected with them. And it does help to kind of get the other side from someone who was a tech!
