Yes, I named this account after my dog
Male cats are predominantly left handed.
I’m just as surprised as you are.

To 4th year vet students who just got their NAVLE scores (national medical board exams):
If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. My vet school DEAN didn’t pass on her first try. You will still be a doctor, you can still become an internist or surgeon or equine vet or DEAN.

When I said “I could really use some precedented times” back in 2020, watching our government repeat the events leading up to WWII isn’t what I meant.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy TikTok is back up.

But remember that time back in social studies class when your teacher talked about the dangers of propaganda posters in WWII?

Favorite presenting complaint I’ve ever seen: “Patient ate Taco Bell on Saturday, has had diarrhea ever since.”

Things I didn’t think I’d ever have to say out loud as a veterinarian:
1) If your name isn’t on the pill bottle, don’t take that medication
2) If YOUR name IS on the pill bottle DONT give it to your dog
3) If your dog’s names on the pill bottle, for the love of god please don’t take that medication!

Shocking things I learned as a Veterinarian: Cats have leg whiskers. LEG WHISKERS. Go check your cat I’m not lying.

Pet owner dad jokes my nurses have heard me say a thousand times: “Oh my gosh! Fluffy is PERFECT and that’s my official diagnosis!” Gets ‘em every time.

Corgis are just fluffy chihuahuas. There I said it.
