Much love to you ❤️Sad news bears

If it's any consolation, my school literally lost the agreements with the dual degree students for what happens with our tuition, and had to ask me if I still had a copy of it because they didn't.I don't know if other schools are this incompetent.
wheezeFrenchies and their people who think they should be bred make me want to quit the profession.
Trust me…I feel your pain 🙁 <3 so sorryToday, I cried over how much money it would take to fix my car. I’m so thankful to have a family who can help cover some of the costs. I just hate asking them
A client just came in with her brachycephalic syndrome, allergic to everything, chronic skin and ear infections, highly aggressive Frenchie proud it was pregnant and angry at us for saying we couldn’t do cytopoint (she will look bad to the buyers all red and gross!) on her because she was pregnant……Frenchies and their people who think they should be bred make me want to quit the profession.
Well, if it makes you feel better, yes 😅I've been dealing with a problem within my school's financial office since February of this year and I'm just so utterly in disbelief that it isn't resolved yet. I took some extra money to cover living expenses separate from financial aid that has a pay-off date of 3 years post graduation. Essentially, they processed it wrong and keep billing for the full amount. I've been told it was fixed twice and to just be patient and (for some reason) the due date wouldn't update until after graduation. Well it never updated after graduation and I'm still being billed. The person at the office (who is apparently the manager and there isn't anyone higher up) keeps telling me to "be patient" (considering it's been 4 months I think the patience period is over). A lawyer suggested I contact an ombudsman (never heard of that before) but the school has one who so far is being nice and helpful.
I don't know if other schools are this incompetent. My undergrad certainly wasn't this way.

It’s a major life change, some anxiety is totally normal! You’ll adapt, you’ve got this. Try connecting with the things that made you so sure of doing this in the first place. If these doubts are just coming up now or you have a tendency to always second-guess everything, I would assume they’re nerves, if they’re doubts you always have that have become more urgent you should explore that - is there anything else you could see yourself doing?Is it normal to feel extremely anxious before starting vet school?? For the past few years, I've been working towards getting into vet school. Now that I'm actually about to start, I feel like I'm at a crossroads. I'm questioning whether this is the career path for me (not because of any specific event. I'm feeling the weight of all the change that's about to come). I also feel VERY overwhelmed by the workload that I know is coming soon and questioning if I will be able to handle it in a healthy way. Have any others felt a similar way before they started vet school?
ps. I don't mean to sound ungrateful because I definitely appreciate the fact that I got into vet school.
We had a tech get bitten during euthanasia sedation by an old unvaccinated cat, but at least he was a house pet…sheesh. Of course that was one the owners wanted to take the body home and I was like uhhh…..But we handled it gracefully and it was not rabid.We had an old cat come in that was a tame feral, first time at the vet and as a result so stressed out and fractious af, O elected to euth, as we are trying to give it ace to calm it down to place a catheter it freaks out, bites me and dies…it’s last act on this earth
A volunteer was bitten when extubating a dog (it had started chewing and I guess she put her fingers in his mouth). Super sweet dog and he barely got her but still broke skin. I felt terrible taking him to rabies observation and I think she also felt terrible.We had a tech get bitten during euthanasia sedation by an old unvaccinated cat, but at least he was a house pet…sheesh.

Do you have ehlers Danlos👀I'm also naturally very hypermobile in like all my joints so it's probably good to get a relationship going with PT anyway. I'll probably need them for my knees and/or hips eventually.
You're the second person to ask that when I mention hypermobility. It's not necessarily outside the realm of possibility. Bodies be weird.Do you have ehlers Danlos👀
(Also there’s 2 PTs Amber and Amy at the carle north annex location that are well aware about hypermobile joints and ehlers Danlos if you are in need of someone who has a bit more knowledge about hypermobility and what our joints should and should not do because of it)
I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos (and so do my mom and sister) so I’m always curious whenever I hear someone mention hypermobility 😂 I also found out one of the other doctors at work has Ehlers Danlos too (idk what type) so it’s an exciting time when I find people 😂😂😂You're the second person to ask that when I mention hypermobility.

I did some digging into hypermobility generally and am kinda shocked at how much it's connected (hehe) to. I was really surprised at the anxiety stats I saw. Like I knew anxiety had many biological causes, especially once you cross over into the many different disorders, but having there also be a link to hypermobility feels like solving a puzzle!I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos (and so do my mom and sister) so I’m always curious whenever I hear someone mention hypermobility 😂 I also found out one of the other doctors at work has Ehlers Danlos too (idk what type) so it’s an exciting time when I find people 😂😂😂
Yeah there’s so many different things that are fairly common with ehlers Danlos like different types of dysautonomia where your autonomic nervous system is hot garbage. I haven’t brought it up with a dr yet (lol because I still have not found a new GP where I live now) but I likely have some dysautonomia (POTS is a very common one with EDS but not the only one) and heat intolerance where I straight up get sick if I get too hot (super great). My mom thinks that her mom also probably had it too but she died in 89 or 90 iirc so definitely not able to ask or get her diagnosed or anythingI did some digging into hypermobility generally and am kinda shocked at how much it's connected (hehe) to.

And also thinking back at what my grandma went through and wondering if she could have had EDS. She passed away almost 9 years ago so we'll never know, but it's something to ponder.
GERD! I get such bad GERD flairs, but no one ever bothers to put it together in context with everything else. I think I had a little bit of an POTS/general cardio exploration when I was like 17, but nothing came from that.Yeah there’s so many different things that are fairly common with ehlers Danlos like different types of dysautonomia where your autonomic nervous system is hot garbage.

I'm very grateful I got into vet school, but now that I'm staring down orientation I am terrified.
I don't interact with large groups the best and I am absolutely petrified I'll make a terrible impression on my classmates to start with.
Thank you, but I struggle in person a lot of the time and am quite reserved. I do much better when I can type my thoughts and have time to form them. Instant response is way harder haha, people usually don't like to watch me buffer in real timeYou're so charming on SDN. I am confident you are going to do well. 🙂 I think it's harder to make a bad impression than people think.

Omg I hate the people who still want to take the headless body home to bury… like you’ll have to wait til rabies test is back in a lot of jurisdictions. And also, please for the love of god do NOT unwrap it.We had a tech get bitten during euthanasia sedation by an old unvaccinated cat, but at least he was a house pet…sheesh.

If it’s any consolation, I felt this way about GOALE as well and then had a truly wonderful time at it. UMN is very conscientious of making it comfortable for the introverts and extroverts too. There are some large group things, but most of it is small groups and then the social activities in the evening have a range from EXTROVERT TIME to introverts in the same room not really talking if they don’t want to you don’t have to interact with anyone at all if you need to just be alone and recharge.I'm very grateful I got into vet school, but now that I'm staring down orientation I am terrified.

Not a personal rant, but a rant against public opinion.
A local shelter is getting flack for a dog that a family relinquished after it bit their sleeping child in the face. The dog is on a bite hold that ended yesterday. People are overwhelmingly upset at the prospect of the dog being potentially euthanized today. The shelter (county/city run) is getting a ton of vitriol.
It's so irritating. If that dog were to be adopted out and it bites another child, the shelter would lose. But if they euthanize it, they lose.

I mean…can they prove you didn’t also get bit trying to save him? Joking. Mostly.My boyfriend just got attacked by a squirrel and will probably have to go to the hospital for the rabies vaccine. And all I can think is why couldn’t it be me?? I need the rabies more
Pre doesn’t have the immunoglobulin which I’ve heard is painful. Also half as many vaccines 😅I mean…can they prove you didn’t also get bit trying to save him? Joking. Mostly.
But from what I remember prophylactic vaccines are a lot easier on the patient than post-exposure.
I agree 100%. I personally know the head vet of the shelter and I can't imagine the stress she faced with this situation.I think there is a ton missing from this whole situation. Having said that, this isn't up for public opinion. The public does not have all the information on what happened, what behavioral issues are present, severity of the two bites the dog has already done, etc. This does not involve the public, at this time. This is a conversation that should be happening between the shelter, the rescue and the owner and the best option for public safety is what should be considered.
