Any SDNers willing to open a livestream window in the background of whatever you're doing and pretend you're watching me and @motheatenlysis graduate to bolster numbers so that future classes don't have to have this battle? It'll be on a Saturday morning.

I can definitely try! It’s such BS… they aren’t live streaming white coat either. Somehow we were given yet another reason which was that they don’t have the tech in the new venue to do it… but somehow they’re (allegedly) recording the ceremony. I’m no mathemagician, but if you’re able to record something, how can you not livestream it? 👀

I was lucky enough to be "present" at your clinical thesis/doctoral defense that was livestreamed when you were still in PhD land - it was amazing!

I would love to be "present" at your upcoming DVM graduation!

I'm sure many other people would like to celebrate this super-happy occasion with you, including your SDN friends!

Dear vetprep,
Your daily question has been the same thing for the last 3 days. Please give me something new please.

This town is full of dumped/ at large animals, and animal control refuses to intervene. Every time I or someone I know calls they respond “the shelter is full, so you’ll have to figure it out.” (Exact words). Even when the animal(s) are dodging cars or aggressively charging people. I don’t understand. I worked at a county shelter! I can only take in so many animals and treat them myself. I don’t know how this will ever change.

Our county shelter is required to take in all stray dogs, but they also can’t operate over capacity. So when they reach capacity, they have to decide which shelter resident gets euthanized so the new stray can complete their mandatory stray hold of 3 days. It really sucks to work in an overcrowded shelter, and I bet yours is doing their best with what they’ve got.

It does suck, and I’ve been there! I just don’t understand how aggressive dogs are being left to roam (they didn’t even come!) it’s frustrating all around I’m sure.

Caught the dog, called the microchip company, just to find out the dog was indeed dumped :(

Love when o are frustrated because their pet isn't sick enough yet. Older p has come in on and off for lethargy. Inital set of labs had mild hyperglobulinemia but that was it. Came back in for difficulty getting up that's what o thought so started carprofen, p def has oa. Comes back in today after being very frustrated about my care for p and talking to one of our techs. labs today show hypercalcemia and azotemia. rads are pretty boring. IM SORRY I DONT HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL AND CANT MAGICALLY MAKE THINGS APPEAR. I'm glad I found something finally, but tbh its probably going to be cancer so yay. I just hate people some times. Tomorrow I get to deal with them AND the people I get to tell I'm no longer going to see them if they are continuing to refuse to amp their dogs broken leg. #fun :D

People who sell rabbits for $300+ because they are “trained” are ridiculous. The only training this rabbit has is the ability to be picked up and litter box training. So is my rabbit that I got for $30 off of Facebook.

Networking shelter animals on social media, and have people approach me saying these:

"I'm moving/allergic, can you or your shelter take my cat/dog?"
"I'm looking for a puppy/kitten that's [a specific color/breed]" and insisting on the age of the animal they want

Last night I got a message about someone wanting to abandon a perfectly healthy and friendly bengal cat that they've had for 8 years because they're moving internationally. Owner "doesn't want to bring him to the shelter because I care about him and want him to end up in a good family." I swear my eyes rolled so far into the back of my head that they were fusing into my brain.

I completely felt this. My wtf of the week: o trying to surrender a 17 year old dog with dementia and “doesn’t believe in medication or euthanasia” but the dog is “making her anxious and miserable” so she was trying to dump it off on someone else… Just always remember you’re saving lives and I appreciate you.

These are the people where I ask if they take Tylenol/ibuprofen for a bad back to make my point 😡 I'm shocked I haven't gotten a negative review for these interactions
