Okay, go for it.

You guys, you all read the second one.

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:44.539
- Okay.

00:00:44.539 --> 00:00:49.479
I am a CVT/prevet student from Colorado, and I love your podcast.

00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.799
My husband also enjoys listening to it, because he likes the medical comments I make while listening.

00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.359
Thanks for educating all and keeping us entertained at Ray Shaw 88.

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.359
Woo-hoo!- Okay, thank you very much. - Thank you very much.

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:02.200
That's awesome.

00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.319
- I also like that your husband supports you.

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:06.719
- Yes. - Pretty cool.

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.640
Anyway, the next one is the best podcast around.

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.439
Always love the laughs and the teamwork when it comes to the podcast.

00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.239
You all do such a good job and can tell you're really excited to talk about different things you see on a daily basis.

00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.040
You guys are really the best podcast out.

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.760
Make sure to take a listen at Jacobi 1025.

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.519
That's my husband.

00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:24.519
Are you kidding?

00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.079
No wonder you wanted to read that one.

00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:34.680
(laughs) Thanks, Jacob.

00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.760
- Oh, yeah. - Thanks, Jacob.

00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:45.200
- That's hilarious. - 'Cause he went on the actual Apple podcast, and then he was like, Harrison needs to change your name, first of all, in the description.

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.000
And then he was like, how do I leave a review?

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.480
I was like, I don't know how to work it, and then I guess he figured out.

00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:50.319
- Oh my gosh.

00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:55.400
- And I followed on the script yesterday, and I was like, there's no,'cause those are lucky numbers.

00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.519
I don't know another Jacob that goes to Jacobi, but it's Jacob! He's our biggest fan.

00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:00.879
- Oh my gosh. - This is Jacobi.

00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.680
- Jacobi, people call him Jacobi, my knackles him that.

00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:04.680
- That's too bad.

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:05.519
- I love it.

00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.280
I'm a Jacob fan, so I like that he is a fan.

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.879
(laughs)- He gets real excited to watch you talk about that.

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.240
- That's so funny, Harrison, that you pulled that review.

00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.000
What are the odds of that?

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.360
So,- The hubs.

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.039
(laughs)- Nice to have you.

00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:19.879
- Look at that.

00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.280
Okay, let's just take, let's just look at the pattern here.

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:29.719
We have two reviews in the men of the women in veterinary medicine are out there just supporting their women.

00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.039
- We love supportive husbands.

00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:31.879
- Way to go, men.

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:32.960
- Love it.

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.080
- Way to go.

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.759
Okay, let's see here.

00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.800
- Should we say who we are?

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.319
- Yes, I'm Dr. King.

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:40.400
- I'm Courtney Allen.

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.080
- I'm Devon Fortune.

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:43.240
- And this is the veterinary round.

00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.240
- And this is the veterinary round.

00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:45.080
- That was good.

00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:45.919
That was good.

00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:46.759
- That's great.

00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.319
- Devon, you wanna update everybody on the changes that they're seeing.

00:02:50.319 --> 00:03:00.199
- Yes, we went over them last time, but just to refresh, we are going to weekly episodes, so instead of biweekly, we are now weekly, so you get to see lots more of us.

00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.319
And then guest episodes once a month.

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:03.639
So that'll be very exciting.

00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:07.919
- Now, somebody, we asked a question last podcast about what was different.

00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.599
- Yes, if you watch the podcast.

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:10.639
- If you physically watch the podcast.

00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:11.479
- Yes.

00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:12.319
- Right, if you physically watch the podcast.

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:13.800
All right, who was it that pointed out?

00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:14.879
- Shout out.

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.360
- Let's shout out to them.

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:25.000
- Virtual high five to cadence, more set, 54.50, came to watch from Apple Podcast because I had to see what was new.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.159
- Love the scrubs.

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.000
- Hi.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:27.840
- Hi.

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:28.680
- Hi.

00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.000
- All right, ready to go.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.120
Okay, because we were feeling like we were looking a little bit like either catch up, red peppers.

00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:35.960
- Oh yeah.

00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.520
- Who is the person who really likes the red?

00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.360
- As if we all were talking about it.

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:39.199
- As if we all were talking about it.

00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:45.439
- So I originally voted for black because everybody looks good in black, but then when I put these on, I actually do enjoy the red.

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:46.280
- Okay, that's really good.

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:47.599
- I feel very straight.

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.759
- But it's like what's a bit color I think,'cause she was really good.

00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:50.599
- It's different.

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.800
- Especially when you're used to wearing green for scrubs for how long?

00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.319
- Yeah, especially wearable.

00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.120
- They're very, are as a worker of the bear, I mean, they're not dull, but they're dull compared to the dress.

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.120
- They're muted, yeah.

00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:00.960
- Yeah.

00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:01.800
- Yeah.

00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:02.639
- I'm still getting used to them.

00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:03.479
- Yeah, I don't know.

00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:04.680
Do you think red looks good with the tan?

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:05.520
I mean, you're tan.

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.520
So red looks good with the tan.

00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:08.560
- I haven't been to spring break yet.

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.400
Wait till next week.

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:10.840
- Oh, Shushu, you were to like last month.

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:11.680
- You're always tan.

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.520
You never pale, 'cause you're always somewhere.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.360
Okay?

00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:15.199
- And I don't tan.

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.199
- I'm doing like we should do a fashion walk.

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:22.879
- I'm the, we can't do a red carpet though,'cause that's too much.

00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.480
- Is that, is that how you do red carpet walk?

00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:26.720
- I have some, some critiques.

00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:27.720
- Okay, yeah, I'm not that good.

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:28.560
- We'll work on that later.

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.079
- Stay tuned.

00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.399
- Yes, I love them.

00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:32.399
- All right, well that's good.

00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:33.240
I'm glad you guys.

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.079
- And they just feel conferred than our other scrubs.

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:35.920
- Yeah.

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:36.759
- Even though they're the same as their brand.

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:37.600
- They're new.

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:38.439
- They're brand spanked out.

00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:39.279
- They do feel really new.

00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.920
- The knees are intact still.

00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:41.920
- Yes.

00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.560
- Okay, so what else?

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.439
Oh, Harrison has added an inquiry from the last episode.

00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.079
- Inquiry.

00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.120
I knew that was coming.

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.199
- Did you really ever got about that that we went through this last time?

00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.079
Inquiry from at FreddyStory.Vet.

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.360
Hi, I'm a vet tech here in Texas.

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.439
I was listening to y'all talk about the struggle of getting the cats to vomit.

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.519
One thing I've seen working is pushing Cephasalon to induce them to vomit.

00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.759
We'd love to hear your thoughts on the next podcast.

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:10.920
Just some food for thought.

00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:12.680
Love listening to the pod.

00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.560
- Side note, I love when people call us the pod.

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.600
I think it's so cute.

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:16.439
- Pod.

00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:17.439
- We were a pod.

00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:18.279
We're a little pod.

00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:19.120
- I love it too.

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:19.959
- We're a pod.

00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.199
- That's awesome.

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.160
Okay, what do you guys think?

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.839
I, I, I, I've, I've, I've, I've known this is my first time hearing of it.

00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:27.680
- Me too.

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:28.519
- Agreed.

00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:29.360
I've, yeah, I've never heard of it.

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.199
- I've never heard of it.

00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.040
- I've never heard of it.

00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:31.879
- So.

00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:38.879
- The only thing I could think of is, do you think he's thinking about dex tomatine like giving something like maybe just, we don't know that.

00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.800
- I'm thinking,'cause isn't Cephasaline an antibiotic?

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.319
- Is it Cephasalon or Cephasolone?

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.879
- I was gonna say Cephasolone is a little,- Cephasolone is fiery.

00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:49.879
- I don't know, now I can say the word.

00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.600
- I say Cephasolone, but isn't it an antibiotic?

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:52.600
- Yes, it's an antibiotic.

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:56.720
- I was thinking, I don't know, antibiotics can cause GI upset.

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:02.720
I don't know like if they keep the cat on the empty stomach, give it that, try to irritate the stomach to get it to throw up, but.

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.519
- I tried to see if I could find anything on it on our information network on Vinn.

00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:07.360
- Yeah.

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.199
- I couldn't find anything.

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.040
- I've never heard of it before.

00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.879
- So there might be, you know, I need to know more about this, Freddie.

00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:12.720
- Yeah.

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.040
- Can you let us know more if you've used it?

00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:14.879
- What?

00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:19.759
- How you give it, what you said, IV, and how long does it take before it works?

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.720
- Do you still have to spin them in a chair?

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.040
(laughing)- No, it's very nice.

00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.360
- Yes.

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.800
- Yeah, it's very interesting.

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.040
- Yeah, so I don't know anything about it.

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.480
Doesn't mean it doesn't exist or people don't do it.

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.759
I just, cause we use a lot of drugs off label.

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.160
I've just never had any experience with it.

00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.680
- If you had more information, would you be open to trying it?

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:39.879
- Oh yeah, because it works.

00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:41.279
- It works, yeah.

00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:47.040
- I mean, we use it for surgical, it's an antibiotic that we use during surgery.

00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.920
So we use it all the time anyway.

00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:49.759
- Safe.

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.000
- For different procedures.

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.480
Procedures that are longer than two hours.

00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.319
- Yeah.

00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.000
- So, side note related to vomiting.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.319
We had a dog come in today who potentially had a cat toy, so we induced vomiting.

00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.879
- Tell me, because I had to leave before the--- It didn't eat the toy.

00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.639
But I don't know what it is about the apple morphine recently.

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.040
I don't know if we got a new bottle or something, but it is intense.

00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.720
Like dogs don't stop.

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.560
- What?

00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.120
- You usually know how it's like three or four times that they're done.

00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.920
- Yeah, they just keep going.

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:16.920
So we give her any issues.

00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:17.759
- Yeah, she's good.

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:18.600
- We took an X-ray.

00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:19.439
- She's not a cat toy.

00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.759
- No cat toy.

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:31.399
But anyway, we had a client apparently, one of the texts was talking about it, who was giving a hydram peroxide at home to induce vomiting because they couldn't afford to bring the dog in.

00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:32.480
- Yes.

00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:39.000
- And the hydram peroxide was not working, so we told them to drive around, around about.

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.439
- Oh my goodness.

00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.680
- What did the dog get in the car?

00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:43.839
- I don't think so.

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.560
I know, I was like, did you simultaneously vomit with your dog?

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.399
Because I would.

00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:48.560
- Did it work on the dog, though?

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.079
- I don't know.

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.079
- I don't think that would work only if they were emotions.

00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.079
- Yeah, I don't.

00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:53.920
I don't know.

00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:54.759
But that was something.

00:07:54.759 --> 00:08:03.800
- Errorson's dog ate, he found rabbits in the yard, baby rabbits with no fur on them, moose did the docks and ate, and whole, didn't even chew it up.

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.079
- I know, yeah, my god.

00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:11.879
- And then I told him to give him hydram peroxide because it was on Sunday, and he did give it and then moose, did he vomit?

00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.680
- He did vomit.

00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:26.759
And then he vomited at some other point, which they didn't know because on Tuesday, in his crate, they pulled out his crate on Tuesday, I hear some finds a dry chunk of vomit with, or the rub.

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.560
- That's disgusting.

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.080
- And he was like, did this just, I was like, that probably happened on Sunday, when you gave him hydram peroxide.

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:32.919
- Yeah.

00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:33.919
- You just didn't know the vomit in the back.

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:34.759
- Yeah, that's right.

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.159
- Hydram peroxide is a beautiful thing when it works.

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.200
- You just can't overuse it because it can cause problems.

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:47.600
- I've done it just a few times, but now we can't do it anymore because Miles knows the second we try to back him into a corner, he loses it so he gets apple.

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.519
- Yep, yep, yep, yep.

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.080
- I don't need to worry about mitzij.

00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.039
(laughing)- mitzij just exists, okay.

00:08:54.039 --> 00:09:01.720
- Okay, what is the funniest thing you've seen an animal do at the clinic at K_Blue2?

00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:09.200
- Probably one of my favorite things is that when a patient has been sedated and is waking up from sedation or anesthesia.

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:10.039
- I'm saying.

00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.159
- You don't know where I'm going, yeah, that's funny.

00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:19.720
But when we put them in a run if they're a bigger dog and their lip gets stuck on the lip,- Oh my god, I love that.

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:20.559
- I love that.

00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.120
- It really makes me laugh.

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.639
- And dog scooting really gets me to be totally funny.

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:27.159
- I'm reading so funny.

00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:29.840
- I don't think it's hilarious.

00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.679
- Good and it's too, I don't think it's funny.

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:36.399
- I'm just gonna say the thing about the glass runs too where they shove their noses into the nervous one.

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.240
- It's a good one.

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.240
- Holding themselves up by their nose and their lip.

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.600
- So many pictures of different dogs doing it, even miles.

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.120
- Yeah, it is kind of funny.

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.679
- I was gonna say the waking up like those.

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.679
- Or they like write themselves real fast.

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.200
- Yeah, anything sedation or anesthesia related.

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.840
- Or see what are some other funny things.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.519
- Pugs during nail trim.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.480
(laughs)- What did you say?

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.039
- Pugs during nail trims.

00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:58.879
They're screened, the pugs scream is the best.

00:09:58.879 --> 00:09:59.720
- Yeah.

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:04.360
- That was the only thing when a dog, there are some dogs that smile at you, they're not mad.

00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.440
- That's really cute.

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:06.279
- Yeah, this is my favorite.

00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:07.519
- My parents dog has that.

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:08.840
- And breach you out at first.

00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:09.679
- So you know they do it.

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.519
- So you know they do it.

00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:11.360
- That smile.

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.200
- Yes, so cute.

00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:13.519
I think Millie.

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:15.000
- Athena and Millie.

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.159
- Mm-hmm.

00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.320
- It's so cute.

00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:18.320
'Cause they just get so excited.

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.159
- I know.

00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.000
- I know.

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.840
- There's tons of things.

00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.679
- Dogs are, they sit with their legs like this.

00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.440
- And they're like, "That's cool."- They're just like, "I had a dog loaf once."- Yeah.

00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:27.440
- You know what, loofing is, right?

00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:28.279
- No.

00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.240
- Like when a cat loafs, they tuck their legs.

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.639
- Oh, and they get on her legs.

00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:32.480
- Oh, they do.

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.320
(laughs)- Glow fangs,- I had a bun fax.

00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:36.759
- And the room once is pretty cute.

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.120
- Oh, and all those are just amazing.

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:39.960
- They're great.

00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:40.799
- You don't know what loofing is?

00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:41.639
- No.

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.840
- Also, a shadow, I got my slippers.

00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.960
- Oh, I forgot to mention that.

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:47.279
- They're cat paws.

00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:48.519
- I think those are adorable.

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:49.360
- Thanks.

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:50.919
- Very cute, very cute, very warm.

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.360
- Okay, onto the next one.

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.120
- What are you going?

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.360
- Yeah, huh?

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.559
I'm a veterinary assistant and want to go to school to be a vet tech.

00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:00.559
What's a good school?

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.759
- Well, where are you based?

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:04.600
- At RooL.

00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.399
- Oh, sorry, my bad, at RooLd by Jupiter.

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.679
At RooLd_by_Jupiter.

00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:12.720
- Okay.

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.799
- Yes, I'm wondering where he or she is based.

00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.360
Like where do they live?

00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.240
You know, 'cause that matters.

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.039
- Why don't you tell them what you're doing?

00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:27.759
- Well, I am a veterinarian assistant and I am in school to be a vet tech and I got a pen foster.

00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:28.600
I don't go.

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.360
It's an online school.

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.600
I had a lot of options when I started school.

00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:42.879
And there are a few schools around that in our area that I almost went to, but I was already working at AllStar and it was a perfect opportunity, so I'm doing online.

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:44.879
And it's, yes, it's called pen foster.

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:50.200
It's like a, it's at your own pace.

00:11:50.200 --> 00:12:02.240
It's between like three to six years estimated completion time, but there are also a few schools in the area that are like 18 month accelerated programs.

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.559
But I'm doing online and you can work in do school at the same time.

00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.399
It's a lot of it.

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:07.240
- It's a lot of it.

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.080
- It's a lot of it for me.

00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:10.399
- And so there's international business college, which I went to.

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:15.519
- Then there are universities that have veterinary technology programs.

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.679
- I know Purdue also has an online.

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.519
- Yeah.

00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.360
- Purdue is online.

00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:20.200
- Yeah.

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.360
- But I thoroughly enjoyed the,'cause I did the 18 month accelerated program.

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:30.960
I liked it and the reason being I liked it is because, like Purdue is a great school 'cause I looked into it.

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.200
But I liked IBC for the fact of the classes are smaller than Purdue.

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.799
So your professor or your teacher knows you, like personally, which I thought was really cool.

00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:41.440
And you get really, really close to your classmates.

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.679
Not saying you can't do that at Purdue, but like you know everybody.

00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:52.960
And it's, I mean, it's very hard and there's a big difference between Purdue and IBC'cause IBC, the way I learned how to do nail terms is like a singular cat nail.

00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.720
And like Purdue, I mean, you get to practice a lot more.

00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.080
They actually have an animal hospital.

00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.799
We had animals in school too, but it's just faster.

00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:01.639
It's harder.

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:02.639
You don't really get breaks.

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.879
Like my summer break was like a week if that.

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:05.720
- Right.

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:06.559
- But I liked it.

00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:07.399
I enjoyed it a lot.

00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:08.679
And I could just commute.

00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:09.919
I didn't have to pay room and board.

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:10.759
- Yeah.

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.600
- And I still got to work.

00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.080
So I almost went there.

00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:14.919
It was good. - It was cool.

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:17.840
Like I said, I already worked at AllStar and I didn't wanna.

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.840
No, no, just worked out better for me.

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.879
I haven't heard many bad things about any vet tech programs.

00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:23.720
- Right.

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.799
I think that, yeah.

00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.600
I mean,- Kind of just depends what you want.

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:27.440
- Right.

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:28.279
- What experience you want.

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:32.360
Like if you want the full on,- The college experience go to Purdue or a veterinary school.

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:33.679
- Yeah.

00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.519
- Yeah.

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.360
- And there's, but there's not.

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.559
Like I think Michigan State has one, Purdue has one.

00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.120
I don't know the ones in the south.

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.159
Do you guys know the off the top of your head?

00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.399
Which schools have them?

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:50.879
But you can easily look that up and find out or online or local business college.

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.720
So.

00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:52.759
- Okay, cool.

00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.600
- Kukukuk.

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:55.799
- If a listener, do you wanna tell them that part?

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:56.639
- Sure.

00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:09.919
- If a listener wants us to answer one of their icebreaker questions, DM the all-star veterinary, clinic, social media accounts or email Harrison@kingmediamarketing.com.

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.399
- We look to answer your icebreakers.

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:12.240
- Yes.

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.080
- That'd be fun.

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:13.919
- Yeah, those are fun.

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.759
- Shoot 'em all away.

00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:15.600
- Yes, please.

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.120
- Okay, so how's your guys week going so far?

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:18.759
It's a Thursday.

00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:19.679
- It's actually pretty good.

00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:20.519
- Yeah.

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:21.399
I start pesteting them all.

00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:22.240
- Three cats.

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.080
- Same.

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:24.840
- Not three cats, but a cat.

00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:25.679
- Yeah.

00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.120
- That means I just have to go before work.

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.159
- No, that's what I was gonna say.

00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.639
- Do you guys like pet sitting?

00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:30.480
- Yeah.

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.039
I don't stay in other's homes though.

00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:33.799
I just prefer cats.

00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:34.639
- Pop in and pop out.

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.480
- Yeah.

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:36.480
- I do both.

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.559
I like pet sitting.

00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:38.399
Yeah, it's nice.

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:45.919
- It's really, the one thing I really, really like is when I, it's like my patient, like at work and it's like a dog or something, it's cool to see them in their own environment.

00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.960
That's one of my favorite things.

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.919
It's like seeing like their actual personality rather than being scared of me.

00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.440
- Yeah, I think clients really like it.

00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.120
Because when they know that it's somebody from the clinic doing their sitting, you know, the pet sitting.

00:14:58.120 --> 00:14:59.399
I think they really dig it.

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:00.240
- Yeah.

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.080
- I agree.

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.600
- So that's really cool you guys do that.

00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:03.759
- Yeah, I enjoy it.

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.559
I mean, it's pretty easy.

00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:06.799
It's extra cash.

00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:07.879
And you get to love on other dogs.

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:08.720
- Yeah.

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:09.559
- Yeah.

00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:10.399
- And cats.

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:11.399
- Yeah.

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:12.399
- Good, good.

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:13.399
So you guys are busy pet sitting.

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:14.720
Work has been not too bad.

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:16.559
- It's just been another week, really.

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:17.399
- It's another week.

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:18.480
- It really hasn't been that bad, actually, no.

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.799
- The weather's warming up.

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.399
- It is pretty hot today.

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.840
- Warm weather to stay, not too hot, but I don't like hot.

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.679
I like this.

00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:25.519
What is this today?

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.759
- I like, I think it's too cold.

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.200
- I think 75 is like my perfect.

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.519
- Yeah, me too.

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.519
- This is a little chilly.

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.759
- This is my perfect.

00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:34.519
Like I was, I wanna build a layout side of my one.

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.519
- I want to store in shorts.

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.399
So like I'd be cold right now, if I lay it outside.

00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:38.799
Unless I want the bleeds to be cold.

00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:39.799
I want it to be hot.

00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:40.639
- Yeah.

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.399
- Let's see here, what else?

00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.480
- Yeah, how's your week been?

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:46.679
- A week's been good.

00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.840
You know, we just started at homeschooling Calvin.

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.679
- Really?

00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:50.799
- Just a go at the end of the quarter.

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.639
- Fun.

00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:52.480
- Yeah, so.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.320
- That's not going.

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.159
- It's going well.

00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.000
- Good.

00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:04.559
- It's a lot of work, but we've done it with the other boys and he was just struggling in keeping up and trying to like perform like up to par.

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:06.600
And so we were like, you know what, this is stupid.

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.440
Let's just pull them and he's a sixth grader.

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.600
- Yeah, that's awesome.

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.440
- That's like so.

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.279
- I think you guys are both enjoying it.

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:13.120
- Yeah, I love it.

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:13.960
I teach math.

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:15.039
- Wow.

00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:15.879
I hate math.

00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:20.440
- Yeah, she tried to quiz me on math the other day and I was like, I don't have the energy film.

00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:25.440
It was a very easy question, but like, I literally had a nail stuck in my eye from doing an insurance.

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:26.279
- Yeah, it was like a joke, right?

00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:27.639
- So I had just like gone through that.

00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.600
I literally had pull, stained my eye to make sure there was an escrat.

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:31.799
It was painful.

00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.000
And then she tried to ask me this math question, like, please just give me the answer.

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.159
You know, it was, my eye is dropping.

00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:38.320
I can't pay straight.

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.639
It was bad.

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.639
- That sounds painful.

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.919
- She was like, I have a 93 pound dog.

00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.000
It needs to add a Quinn.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:44.840
What is the dose?

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.879
I was like, it's 50.

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:47.919
It's one mil per 50 pounds.

00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:54.000
It's she was like, I literally, and I was like, well, if it was a hundred pounds, how much would you?

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.320
- I, my, my, I, I don't know.

00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.440
And I was like, okay, take 93 and divide it by 50.

00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.000
- And I was like, I'll figure it out and I looked away.

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.839
(laughs)- That's awesome.

00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:06.680
- Yeah.

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:07.519
- That's hilarious.

00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.359
- Yeah, that's the worst.

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.759
- And then I wrote down the dose and my notebook after that.

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:12.920
- Oh gosh, that's fun.

00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.119
- Yeah, I love doing math.

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.640
So math is what I was like.

00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:18.079
- Math is my job.

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.319
- How, like, how much I'm schooling?

00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:22.160
Would you say you do a week?

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.519
- It's about four hours a day.

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.759
- Five.

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.799
- So, too bad.

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.559
I mean, it's really nice because then he has more free time and can do, you know, he's not stressed.

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.279
We, the school that we lived, or sent him to, we lived further away from it.

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.519
So he wouldn't get home until four.

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:45.599
And then if he had an activity to go back to, he had to hurry and get his work done, like in an hour and a half.

00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.720
And he wants to do that after being sitting in a classroom for eight hours.

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.559
- Yeah.

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.440
- And so, yeah.

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.279
- Awesome.

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:53.200
- So it's going great.

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.039
- Good, awesome.

00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:58.640
- I asked him the other day, I was like, how much better do you feel about math?

00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.039
Because I'm teaching it.

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:01.200
No, I mean, that wasn't that bad.

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.039
- You're great teacher.

00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.559
- I was like, how much better do you feel about math doing math this way?

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:06.880
Because he's not a problem child.

00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.160
So he just sits in class and nobody knows he's not listening.

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.039
And so then he doesn't get what they're teaching.

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:13.880
- Right.

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.200
- And then comes home and Richie's like, why don't you know how to do this?

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:19.759
And so it's because he's not really listening, he's staring at you, but he's not listening.

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.599
- Yeah, yeah.

00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:23.160
- And he's like, oh my gosh, I feel like I know so much already.

00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:24.559
And it's only been two weeks.

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.559
- That's all, that's very worried.

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:27.759
- So yeah, I was like, okay, you're 16.

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:29.759
- Yeah, but this definitely is the right thing.

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.599
- That's awesome.

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:31.440
- Way to go.

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:32.279
- Oh, thanks.

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:33.279
- Good job, mom.

00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.160
- Okay, so that is my week for the past two weeks.

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.200
- We also have, we have a new little segment here on the pod.

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.960
- Yeah, that was your idea.

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.119
- We're going to talk about our pits and our peaks of the week.

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.279
- Yeah.

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.279
- I'll go first.

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:47.119
- Okay.

00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:48.640
- That sounds great.

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.480
Oh dang it, I had it.

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:55.880
- Oh, my pit was, I actually have, so I have a pet sitting client and they're very, very long-term clients of mine.

00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:56.720
- Yes.

00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:01.920
- And he texted me on Tuesday morning and let me know that one of his kiddos passed.

00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:03.480
He was a white boxer named Sarge.

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.240
And he was, I mean, he was interesting.

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.720
He had the oddest personality I've ever seen on a dog.

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.319
He was just like a sweetheart.

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.079
He just like stood and just took everything in.

00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:12.920
- Oh.

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:13.759
- So that was kind of sad.

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:16.359
That wasn't the best thing to wake up to.

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:19.240
But my peak was that I worked out three times this week.

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:20.079
- Okay.

00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:21.400
- And I call that an accomplishment.

00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:22.240
- Yeah.

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:23.079
- Nice job.

00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:23.920
- Way to go.

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.559
- That's hard to have to do that with our lifestyle.

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.720
- Yeah, 'cause that's what I'm like, I can go in the mornings at like 4.30 a.m.

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.640
but I feel like I just can't, like I tried that and it didn't work.

00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:35.160
But then I get home at 6.30 or 7.00 and then I take care of my dog.

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.000
I have to cook dinner.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.319
- Then you try to cook at 5.00 the next morning.

00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:38.960
- I can wind down my set like, yeah.

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.880
But it's been good.

00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:40.720
Good for you.

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.559
- I did it.

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.400
- Yeah.

00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:43.240
- Good.

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.079
- That's awesome.

00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:44.920
What about you?

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:45.920
- Um, why don't you go?

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.680
- You're trying to process. - Yeah.

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:53.359
Okay, so my peak, my pit.

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:54.920
- Your pit is the bad part.

00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:55.759
- Yeah.

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.599
- Pit.

00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.079
I don't know if I really have any pit.

00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:00.400
- Oh, sweet.

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.319
- Just something that was like me.

00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:03.160
- Mm.

00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:04.480
- Couldn't have been better.

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:06.000
- It doesn't have to be like sad.

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.480
- The weather.

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.559
- Okay, it's the weather this week.

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:10.400
- That's okay.

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:11.480
That can be a pit.

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:12.680
- Okay.

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:22.200
My peak was seeing two of my associate veterinarians stretched, but not stretched so far out of their gift zone.

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.359
So they were stretched, but still stretched within their gift zone, not into the harmful zone.

00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:40.000
So they were, and this was gonna be the case I was gonna talk about, but they were, they were responsible for doing, there were some of the more younger veterinarians that are at the clinic, and they had a surgical case that they had to take care of.

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.440
And it was just the two of them, and they did a great job.

00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:45.279
- Mm.

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.599
- And so it was like, oh, right.

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:47.599
Way to go, guys.

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.440
- Too a moment.

00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.279
I guess it was smoky in him.

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:51.279
- The surgery.

00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.119
- Yep.

00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:53.279
- I'm so into your animal.

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:54.440
- Like stretched just enough.

00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.400
Like they're a little bit better at their job now, but yeah.

00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:58.559
- Exactly.

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.400
- Nice.

00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:00.400
- So it was a little failure.

00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:01.640
- Yeah, exactly.

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.799
- Yeah.

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:09.519
Okay, my pit, I guess, I went to PetSmart today, and I always do this to myself.

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:29.839
I wanted to get cat food, and then I look at all those cat cats, and it's just, (laughs) like they all went homes, and I was looking at this one, and I'm gonna go off on a little tangent, but it's this five-year-old, Persian domestic short hair mix, orange and female, and it was just really interesting.

00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:31.240
- That's a weird combination.

00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:32.079
- That's very weird.

00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:33.240
- A very orange female.

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:34.559
- A very orange female.

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:36.240
And an orange Persian.

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.720
It was, I guess she was so sweet.

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:38.559
I took a picture.

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.400
- Oh, let me see.

00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:41.319
She's going to have them healthy, is she?

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:43.440
And it looks like she just passed, but she's cute.

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:45.599
She looks like Garfield and the McGrinch.

00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.960
Doesn't she?

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.039
Can you zoom in?

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:54.039
- Oh my gosh.

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:55.279
- Oh my gosh.

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:56.440
- You gotta find a look at this.

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:57.279
- This is so cute.

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:58.440
- What's her story?

00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:02.519
I mean, there isn't much of a story behind her.

00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.200
There's just like,- She was a stranger.

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:05.039
- She just needs a home.

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.559
- It didn't say, yeah.

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:11.279
But, I like, she was sleeping and I really wanted to just see her face.

00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:12.799
So of course I woke up.

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:18.519
- Wake!(laughs)- I was like, I just tickled her tail and then she rolled over on her back and like, what like this?

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.039
And showed me her belly and I gave her belly rubs.

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.039
And then she went back to bed.

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.200
So I didn't disturb her terribly, but she was really cute.

00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.680
- So was that a pit or a peak?

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:29.640
- Probably a pit, because then she couldn't take her home.

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:34.000
- Came up and asked if I was interested in the doping and I'm like, yes, but I can't.

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.279
And I just always wanna take all those kittens, new cats.

00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:42.519
And then there was a little gray kitten that was screaming at me and like reaching through the cage and they're so needy, isn't it?

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:43.359
- No.

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.200
- It's just like all they want is food.

00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.039
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:54.039
- And there's a sign that says like, keep dogs away from cages and this person is bringing their giant German shepherd by and it's barking and I'm like, please exit.

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:55.200
- This is a very good one.

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.200
- Yeah, I'll literally sign.

00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:03.400
And my peak, I would say, well, the weather today, I love.

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:05.759
- And you didn't have a scratch on your cornea.

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.599
- That's fair.

00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:07.440
That's a good peak.

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.799
- The weather is your pit, it's my peak.

00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:16.200
And then I had a beautiful blood draw on a cat on like earlier this week.

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:20.279
It was a clean stick and I'm just still boasting about it as you can tell.

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:21.119
- Those are hard.

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:21.960
- Yeah.

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.799
- It's always sad.

00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:24.480
- Blood draws on cats in general are not easy.

00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:35.519
- The way some of the text got good at it when the clinic was just starting is we worked with the rescue, heart for love of her eye camera, the name of it and it was all cats.

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:42.920
We had to draw a feline leukemia test on all these kittens and all these cats over and over, like not the same cats, but like, you know, as they're going through the system.

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.559
And they got so good at drawing blood on cats'cause you just did, you know, 25 a week.

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.160
You know, kind of a thing.

00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.480
- But it is, it's just all about practice.

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:52.319
So good job.

00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:53.160
- Yeah, thanks.

00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:54.000
- Good job, good job.

00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:01.240
- I, going off of that, would love to invent a test for FIVF-ELV that did not require blood.

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:02.079
- Amen.

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:03.079
- That would be so amazing.

00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:08.880
Especially on the like little baby kittens that come in that you know, it's just, it sounds like you're livin' in a little like a baby.

00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.359
- It sounds like you're, like, holding up their day, spit on you.

00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:13.200
- Right, I've always said that.

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:14.440
I was like, why can't it be saliva?

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:15.279
- Yeah.

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.839
- 'Cause it sounds like you're murdering them when you try to go blood on a little one-pound beginning.

00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:19.680
- It's so high-pitched.

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.680
- It's not easy.

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:22.400
- And they're like, oh, I wonder where they hit us.

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:30.759
- I would say though, the blood draw on cats has gotten way better since you guys have done, since you've been willing to shave, if necessary, use light-acane cream.

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:32.519
- Light-acane cream is a game-chaine.

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:34.559
- Lighting, lighting, having the proper lighting.

00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:35.559
- Yes.

00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:37.640
- All those things have really made a huge difference.

00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:39.440
- Oh, I agree for sure.

00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.519
If you don't have light-acane cream in your vet clinic, get some.

00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:46.640
- Because it truly is, like, it makes the biggest difference in some patients.

00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:50.200
Some animals don't care about it, but it is phenomenal.

00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:51.039
- Yeah.

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.880
- So, you're free.

00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:53.200
- Okay, cuckoo.

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.839
Cases, what do you guys got this week for cases?

00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:56.680
- You go first?

00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:57.799
- Yeah, mine's quick.

00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:03.759
- It's actually just an update about Jeter who is the golden, I talked about, I think, did I do that last week?

00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.759
- I don't know. - It was a week before.

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:05.599
- I don't know.

00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:06.680
Anyway, it was recent.

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:11.359
He was the golden that I accidentally found, that lung massing or chest mass.

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.200
- Oh, that's right.

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:13.200
- More to go as far as I'm glad.

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.200
- That was the thing it was.

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:15.039
- Yeah.

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:30.960
- So, he did have his consultation with the oncologist, and they did further testing, and they most likely suspect that it is a histiocytocylic sarcoma, and it is in his lung, which he had three masses there, one of them was pretty large.

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:35.279
It's in his liver, it's in his spleen, and he, it's also in his kidneys.

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:36.119
- Do you know?

00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:39.960
- So, it's pretty advanced, unfortunately.

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:44.119
Like we said last podcast, they cannot do surgery, but they are going to start chemo.

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:52.720
So, I'm almost positive he has his, he had his first treatment this past Monday, so they're doing docs or rubissin, and then CCNU.

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:54.000
- Okay.

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:59.039
- And then they started like, pred, metrosurinia, all that kind of stuff, just to help with the symptoms of the chemo.

00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:01.720
- Right. - That's not make him feel a sick, but they're doing that.

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:06.519
So, we'll see how it goes, but that's just, they unfortunately gave him, I think, six months.

00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:21.319
- Yeah, I was gonna say it's gonna be very,- So the chemo, obviously there's no cure whatsoever for the cancer, but the chemo will help slow it on the progression of the cancer and the spread of it, so hopefully give him the last few good months with his owners, because that's a lot to digest all at once.

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:24.400
So, hopefully it'll give him a little bit more time, make him a little more comfy.

00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.240
So, pretty cool.

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:27.079
- Yeah.

00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:31.839
Okay, I can go, mine's a little long, so it's one of my pets.

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:35.799
I know I've used a couple of my pets on here, but this is a different amount of animals.

00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:36.799
- I'm having a lot of time.

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:37.640
- I know, I'm like, wow.

00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:38.839
- I have so many options.

00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:39.680
- Okay.

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.160
- But he is a 10 year old orange domestic short hair.

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:43.000
- Okay.

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:47.000
- And he presented for having a hard time eating and some vomiting.

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:53.359
And when he was a kitten, he actually had to have all of his pre-molers and molars removed,'cause he was allergic to his own saliva.

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.480
I don't know, there's a technical term.

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.319
- Stomatitis?

00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:59.480
- The epistomatitis.

00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.319
- I don't know.

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:01.160
- Okay.

00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:02.000
- I was too young to know.

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.839
- Yes, okay.

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:07.160
- So he has gotten by with just his canines and insiders his whole life.

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.200
But he, for probably like, it was like a day.

00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:11.119
It went on for a day.

00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:18.319
He would start to eat his food, so he still has appetite, but then after a few bites would start to pause his mouth and the food would fall out.

00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:23.559
So me being me, I looked at his mouth and above his upper canines, the gingerva was definitely irritated.

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:34.680
And then he did start to vomit a little bit, but it tended to be like before his meal time, like after he had been so hungry for so long, it wasn't like he ate and then threw it up.

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:52.960
So I wasn't worried about an obstruction, but it went on for like a day, like I said, and then the next day I went into work, and I get to work before my mom leaves her work, and she texted me and was like,"Sid still in bed, he hasn't even gotten out to eat, which is really unlike him." I mean, he's an orange cat.

00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.920
They're waking us up telling us it's time to be fed.

00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:14.720
So that was concerning, and I was like, "You know, I bring him in on your way into work, so she dropped him off," and then Dr. Jones evaluated him, and she definitely agreed that his mouth was a little bit irritated, and luckily we had an opening or like room for another surgery that day.

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:47.039
He had mild dental disease, like maybe a great one, so it wouldn't hurt him to have a procedure, but it wasn't necessary, but I was like, "Whatever, go ahead, we did full mouth X-rays," and she did notice some resorption of both uppercane lines, one was worse than the other, so one definitely needed removed, and she said the other one would probably need extracted, like within the next year or whatever, so I was like, "Just do both." I mean, he'll still be able to eat, he's gotten by with barely any teeth this far anyway.

00:28:47.039 --> 00:29:08.839
- Sure. - So, we extracted both, and then on event full recovery, I took him home that night, offered him wet food, which they don't really eat wet food, so he didn't eat it 'cause he was just confused, and then I offered him his kibble, and he ate it right up, like his old normal self, and he's been eating fine since then, no more vomiting.

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:10.480
So, yeah, you did. - Yeah, you did.

00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:16.240
- Now I just have a little bag of his uppercane lines in my room that I can't throw away, but I don't know what to do with it.

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:43.720
- Yes, so he was little, he probably had stomatitis listening to what you were talking about, just because they are allergic to the tooth roots, so that or something not they, some cats can be allergic to the tooth roots, and so then they get really severe redening with their gums, and then it can be exacerbated by bacteria, whatever, but unfortunately, the only way to fix it is to extract the tooth because it's the root that they're allergic to.

00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:51.480
So, you remove them, and then they are significantly more comfortable, and can live, like you're mentioning their whole life without having an issue, so.

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:55.359
- So, so. - So, and his bottom canines, almost adapt like no other.

00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:57.599
- Yeah. - Yeah, it's crazy.

00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:59.559
Very cool, very cool.

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:01.279
- Another cool, Devon Pet case.

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:04.200
- We know what's, I have, who should you talk about next week?

00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:06.480
- I know. - I have a bag.

00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:07.319
- I'm kidding.

00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:09.119
- We haven't done the bag in a while also.

00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:10.279
- We were gonna have to remember the bag.

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.640
- I thought about that today on the way here.

00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:17.039
I was like, "Ooh, I think I volunteered, and I never did."- Okay, well, next week, the bag.

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:18.680
- Someone. - The bag needs to come out.

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.000
- Well, surprised duck wall because she isn't here, and she doesn't.

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.400
- Oh, yeah. - I don't think we ever acknowledge that she's not here.

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:25.240
- Oh, yeah.

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:27.240
Actually, duck wall is not in the building today.

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:29.039
- Yes, she will be back next Thursday.

00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:31.519
She'll be back. - There's only three of us.

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:38.559
- Okay, my case is a nine month old mixed, mixed pity, basically, pity mix.

00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:39.559
- Yeah.

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:40.880
- And so he's nine months old.

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.559
He came in for, - Sorry.

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:45.400
- Yeah, you know, he's in it now.

00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:55.640
- Nine month old, not eating, not feeling well, regurgitating water was started to feel poorly on Saturday, I believe is the case.

00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:58.960
Ham saw it, - Tuesday.

00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.160
- Yeah, Tuesday. - Yes, 'cause he was, he came in when I wasn't there.

00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.400
- Yeah, so Tuesday morning, Ham saw it, or afternoon, Ham saw it.

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:24.680
And, I mean, just in the exam room, just to give people a little bit of information, whenever you see a dog in an exam room, and they're not comfortable, so like if you see a dog who sits down, gets up, walks it down, gets up, walk, or they do that play bowing when they're stretching, so they are actually stretching their abdomens.

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:28.599
And so that's usually an indication that their abdominal cavity is uncomfortable.

00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:36.079
Doesn't always mean that they have form material, it could mean they have form material, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, and it can sometimes mimic back pain.

00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.319
So anyway, but they act very strange in the room.

00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:45.519
This dog also was regurgitating water, so he could not keep anything down, and then was extremely depressed.

00:31:45.519 --> 00:32:04.359
So, ham after taking the history and doing the physical exam took radiographs on him, and he did have a suspicious foreign body, gas pattern in his GI tract, so he had a lot of dilated ball loops involving the proximal dewaddom, and then he did have a soft tissue opacity involving his pylorus.

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:14.880
And he was so miserable this dog was really uncomfortable, such that, and I should also mention, another thing to keep in mind is that pyloric obstructions, the dogs feel like frat.

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:21.920
So like if they have an intestinal obstruction, but their pylorus is not obstructed, they a lot of times still act normal.

00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:23.920
They may not be eating, but they act normal.

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:30.319
They don't, you wouldn't physically by looking at them tell that they're sick, but a pyloric obstruction, they feel like frat.

00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:33.640
Like they don't wanna get up, they don't wanna eat, they just feel really bad.

00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:41.160
So once we saw the X-ray, then you also have the dog, it's like you have those two pieces of information, it's like all right, the dog needs to go to surgery.

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:48.640
And so they took him to surgery that night, and so they stayed after work to do surgery on him, because that was in the best interest of the pet.

00:32:48.640 --> 00:33:12.880
And he had a gastric foreign body that was made up of cloth or fabric, had a lot of straw debris, and then it was running through the pylorus into the small intestine all the way to the mid-Jajunum, but about right past the duodenum, he had a foreign body that was almost perforated in his intestine.

00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:16.359
- I saw it, it was literally like you just see intestine, it comes through a little point.

00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:19.839
It came to a point, almost had perforated through.

00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:25.920
And we think that was just a stick, actually, that it had just been gotten in the wrong way, basically.

00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:30.359
And it was pointy and just ended up almost perforating the small intestine.

00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:53.200
So they ended up doing a gastro-automy, and we always typically will start with a gastro-automy first, because if you have a linear foreign body, you can't pull everything back up through the stomach, because you just bunch everything up on itself, and with small linear foreign bodies, you have a chance of basically eviscerating the small intestine, so you can just slice right through it.

00:33:53.200 --> 00:34:01.079
So if you had something like dental floss that's really sharp, it's gonna just slice through the tissue as it gets pulled tighter and tighter.

00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:06.279
So we really don't like to pull them back out, unless you can milk it kind of back out.

00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:13.280
So we'll go do the gastro-automy first, and then we cut the tension off, remove what's in the stomach, and then it'll all feed back into the small intestine.

00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:17.679
Then you have to go into the small intestine and remove it from the small intestine as well.

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:28.400
This dog, because of the perforation, or the almost perforated wall, and then the necrosis, or the tissue, was turning black around that area, they did it in anastomosis.

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:33.559
So they cut the dead tissue out, and then had to hook the two pieces of intestine back together.

00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:43.519
Then they could not milk the foreign body from, it was still all the way down again, to mid-June, and they couldn't get it from mid-June back up to anastomosis site.

00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:48.000
And so they had to do an innerotomy, a plain innerotomy site as well, I think two innerotomies sites.

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:49.079
- They did two innerotomies.

00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.159
- Yeah, that's intense.

00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:52.000
- It's a lot.

00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:52.840
- Yeah, it was a lot.

00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:54.320
- That was an intense foreign body surgery.

00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:55.159
- Yeah.

00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:58.760
- And everything went great.

00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:05.440
Inurotomies are very straightforward, because you were just making an incision into the intestine, and then sowing it back up.

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.159
So very straightforward.

00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:11.800
Anastomosis is you are taking two wins of intestine, and hooking it back together.

00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:15.760
And clearly the most important thing is it doesn't fall apart or it doesn't leak.

00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:17.519
So that's always where you're worried.

00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:18.760
- That's a scary part is that it is.

00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:20.000
- There's a leak.

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.199
But there's some really good techniques on how to do it.

00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:30.360
And they did a great job, and the innerotomies went well, the gastronomy went well.

00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:31.320
He's doing great.

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:32.239
He went home today.

00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:33.360
- Good, he sure did.

00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:34.639
- He ate the next day.

00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:35.480
- Okay.

00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:36.719
- And he went home today.

00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:37.840
- He was a little erpy yesterday.

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.280
He rewashed a few times, which is why we kept him an extra day.

00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:42.639
But he was happy boy this morning.

00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.280
He ate and he was jumping on all of us.

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:50.840
- And one of the questions we always get from owners a lot of times is, like, did they learn their lesson?

00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:51.679
- Nope.

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.599
I can attest to that.

00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:54.760
My dog's never been cut, but he's vomited a lot.

00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:55.760
- Oh man, it's like no.

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:57.480
- And poops out stuff and they don't learn.

00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:01.039
- And the adhesions, they have so much on his body.

00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:08.800
- Yeah, you end up with things that, you can't only do this so many times, to a patient's intestinal tract.

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:11.639
And so we really do have to be vigilant to make sure he doesn't eat.

00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:13.480
- We had a cat that--- Oh, the things.

00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.320
- I think he kept eating headphones.

00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:18.440
He had three form bodies and we told the owner that three strikes he's out.

00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:19.280
He can't have no one.

00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:20.119
- Yeah.

00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:21.440
- Like you said, he just, yeah.

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.440
- We got a dog that kept eating binkies, I think.

00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:25.480
- Passifiers, man.

00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:27.000
- Yep.

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.719
- Quick PSA in regards to linear form bodies and things like that.

00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.559
Don't give your dog rope toys.

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:33.400
- Yeah.

00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:35.280
- Please, they're very, very bad.

00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:36.519
- Yeah, they get in distance.

00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:37.360
- They pull apart.

00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:38.199
- Yep.

00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:41.119
- So, heat a rope toy.

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:41.960
- Is that what it was?

00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:43.119
- Yeah.

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:44.159
God, dog it.

00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:45.000
- Yeah.

00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:46.599
- They're fun toys, but they're danger.

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:50.800
- Yeah, especially if you have a dog with a mouth like that that is a bigger, chewer.

00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.639
- Yes.

00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:53.480
- You know, I mean, they're gonna destroy that.

00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:54.960
- Oh, it's easy to do that.

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:56.639
- Oh yeah, it's so easy.

00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:57.920
- It's crazy.

00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:58.760
- It was a rope toy.

00:36:58.760 --> 00:36:59.599
- No rope toys.

00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:00.440
- No rope toys.

00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:01.480
- Bad for the stomach.

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:02.599
- All right, great cases.

00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:04.079
Good job, guys.

00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:05.599
Okay, listen to our questions.

00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:09.239
Okay, who wants to read it?

00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:10.440
I can, I'll do it.

00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:14.960
Hey, I was wondering if you would be able to help me with a question I had.

00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:21.760
I am an aspiring vet student, and I was accepted into the University of Illinois for my undergraduate this coming fall.

00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:22.880
Congratulations.

00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:23.719
- It's awesome.

00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:28.880
- I was weighing my options for a summer job and wanted an opinion of someone who may have gone through this already.

00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:33.639
I am between working at a clinic and working at a restaurant as a server where I could make a lot of money for college.

00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:40.880
Would it be better to make a financial decision or make a decision that would better my chances of getting into a vest school later on by having hours under my belt?

00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:43.159
Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:47.119
Love the Tix-Hawksy post at AbbeyHurst25.

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:48.599
- Great question.

00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:50.079
- Well, that's exciting.

00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:59.400
So anyway, I think, so she's working at a clinic and she's working at a restaurant.

00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:00.239
- She's wanting to know.

00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:01.400
- She's between the two.

00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:02.239
- Yes.

00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:09.960
I think it's always good to have experience, but it depends, are you getting paid at both?

00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:12.800
Or will you be paid at one or the other?

00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:14.639
'Cause that's also a big factor.

00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:16.280
- I think she would be paid at both.

00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:19.360
I think one, you would be paid a lot more money where I could make a lot of money.

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:20.880
- Yeah, like restaurants, you get tips.

00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:22.360
- That's true.

00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:27.719
I am, okay, I am between working at a clinic, so I don't know if she is working currently at the clinic or not.

00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:28.559
- Right.

00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:34.519
I mean, it's not, I would still say work at the clinic.

00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:47.559
I know it's not as crucial since she's already secured, like her, she's already been accepted into the university, but I still think, you know, get as much knowledge as you can before.

00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:57.000
'Cause I did like, J-vert light, and I did an array of science and anatomy classes before starting school, and it has set me up tremendously.

00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:57.840
- I agree.

00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:02.320
I worked all-star before I went to college, and it did wonders.

00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:05.440
I knew a lot going into school, and that was really cool.

00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:09.400
- So I, because I'm older than you guys.

00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:11.559
- You have more knowledge.

00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:13.719
- I know, that's not true.

00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.119
Okay, so it is true.

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:26.480
Anytime I was talking to Harrison about this question, and anytime I see somebody ask an or question, so am I, you know, am I better off working at the clinic or working at a restaurant?

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.280
- Why not both?

00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:30.639
Bingo, works at restaurant on the weekends or whatever?

00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:31.480
- Yes.

00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:33.039
- Part-time for both.

00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:41.719
- Yes, because any question, any decision like that, there's hardly ever a situation where it has to be an or, this or that.

00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:45.199
Typically you're gonna be better served if you can figure out an and.

00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:50.280
So my thought was, can you work at the restaurant when it is the most lucrative?

00:39:50.280 --> 00:40:16.039
So Fridays and Saturdays, where you can make lots of good tips on Fridays and Saturdays, then you take Sunday off, then Monday, you work at a clinic, you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or whatever, or just Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or whatever it is, or you could switch it, and you could work where, like, especially if you're looking for, like, to be paid more to work at a clinic, then maybe working at an emergency clinic.

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:21.639
You know, so then you might work at an emergency clinic on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, where they have a hard time finding people to work.

00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:28.039
And so you probably would be paid a higher wage, then do the restaurant on a different day.

00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:31.639
You know, like maybe you do mornings or you do afternoons or you do evenings or whatever it is.

00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:33.199
So I think you could actually do both.

00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:45.719
I definitely think that if you can know information prior to learning information, it'll be much easier to digest the information and to get the intricate parts of the information.

00:40:45.719 --> 00:41:02.360
So if you're not focused on learning, like I was, what a ruminant is, and you already know what a ruminant is, now you can focus on the next part of the information, then you're going to be much further along, and it's much easier to digest the information.

00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:05.840
- And it's easier to apply things you learn to your job or vice versa.

00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:06.679
- Yes.

00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:11.599
- And you're like, oh, that makes sense as to what, and it like it all, like just, it's a huge puzzle piece together. - Yes.

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:12.679
- And you're like, wow.

00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:17.400
- I still don't know how I made it through vet school, never having worked in a small animal practice.

00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:19.199
- Where do you work?

00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:21.239
- I worked, what did I do?

00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:22.079
- Zoo.

00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:23.079
- Hello, everyone. - I worked as a zoo.

00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:25.400
- You did the zoo before you went for small animal, right?

00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:26.920
- And in vet school, we didn't work.

00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:32.840
We were so, we were in school the whole day, even the summer we worked, but I worked basketball camps in the summer.

00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:35.719
And then I never worked in a small animal practice.

00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:41.480
And it would have been a lot easier to learn the information had I done that.

00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:46.639
- Yeah, it's easy to read a textbook and take tests, but like applying it in the real world is very different.

00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:48.559
It is like a whole different ball game.

00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:54.760
Yeah, I, well, and when I was in school, I mean, I wasn't a vet student, I was a vet tech student.

00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:59.000
Unfortunately, because I, like I said, previously I went to IBC, which was very fast paced.

00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:01.280
It was, it was pretty much like a high school schedule.

00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:09.480
And so I was at school all day, and then when I would get done with school, I wouldn't, some of my classes ran till 4 4 30.

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:11.679
It was 30 to 4 5 minutes away from the clinic.

00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:16.480
So by the time I got there was 5 15, they're not gonna have me work 45 minutes'cause the clinic was at 6.

00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:20.159
So what I did as I worked at a boarding facility, that's still animal experience.

00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:21.000
- Yeah, animal experience.

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:24.760
- I mean, it's not, you're not learning like the knowledge, like you wouldn't have vet clinic, but there's that too.

00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:31.000
- Yeah, if the vet clinic, if their hours aren't flexible, or like, I don't know, I've always worked in animal stuff.

00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.360
So for sure.

00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:34.960
But that was cool too, getting that kind of experience.

00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.320
- Yeah, I'm super cool.

00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:38.440
That was a great question Abby.

00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:39.280
- Yeah, for sure.

00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:40.599
- Hooray fighting a lot.

00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:42.280
- Of course, whatever is best for yourself.

00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:45.000
But that's exciting starting school in the fall.

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:46.119
- Yes.

00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:46.960
- Congratulations.

00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:48.159
- Yep.

00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:49.159
That's gonna be very exciting.

00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:50.639
It's gonna go by fast.

00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:51.480
What did you say?

00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:52.320
- What's their mascot, you know?

00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.320
- Fighting a line eye.

00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:54.159
- Huh?

00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:55.440
- Fighting a line eye.

00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:56.679
- Line eye?

00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:57.679
- Fighting a line eye.

00:42:57.679 --> 00:42:58.679
- A line eye.

00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:00.840
- A line eye.

00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:02.280
- I need to see a line eye.

00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:04.280
- Fighting a line eye.

00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:06.039
- Harrison, I don't have my phone.

00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:07.679
- Finding, fighting.

00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:08.519
- Fighting.

00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:09.360
- Fighting.

00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:11.960
- Fighting a line eye.

00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:14.119
It's like, they're an Indian, right?

00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:16.239
- Fighting a line eye, or an Indian mascot?

00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:19.639
- I got it.

00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:20.480
- You got it?

00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:21.320
- I got it.

00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:22.159
- So it was a picture.

00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:23.599
- Can we put it up on the screen please?

00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:25.960
- It would be so nice if we could just like pop it up there.

00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:29.559
You could actually probably screen your--- Well, this one says the bird.

00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.320
- Is this fighting a line eye?

00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:33.159
- Let's see.

00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:34.159
- Let's say university, Illinois.

00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:35.000

My mom's from Illinois.

00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:51.400
We're gonna have to know.

00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.280
- Can you comment a picture of what your mascot is that your future vet will be?

00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:57.840

- Okay, think yeah.

00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:03.000
Then go fight.

- Go fighting a line eye.

00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:05.920
I don't know their song.

00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:07.119
I don't know that.

00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:07.960
