 09:36:55 #Vettechnician| Plus the other reason why I didn't want to be a vet, is because I pulled out $4500 in loans for my degree, and it was 3-years(a year of prerequisites) vs $100,000+ in loans. I am also almost 30, so I want to start having a family, so I didn't want to be in school for 8+ years and have kids, I know it can be done, I just didn't want it |
09:35:59 | It depends on where you live, for example in WA the Rabies Vaccination is given at 12 weeks old and there is no need for a booster of that vaccination. So def check your state/Country laws and requirements for it |
09:34:20 Ally 💜| Okay cool ^.^ I was curious since my puppy needs her rabies she isnt old enough yet though |
09:33:24 Fawn| Rabies vac is part of the last set of vaccines for one year so typically around 4 months old |
09:33:13 #Vettechnician| 16-weeks for the first dose, then in 2-weeks(or 3) they get the other |
09:32:27 Ally 💜| How old does a puppy need to be to get the rabies vaccine? |
09:32:03 | Ah i see, thats intresting. |
09:31:16 #Vettechnician| Where I live, I cannot give rabies |
09:30:36 Hummer| @Helix, I probably would have looked into that career more, but where I live they only make around $17/hour. |
09:30:17 | Helix, you dont give rabies vax? Im not even a tech yet, just a pet nurse and ive given plenty of rabies vaccinations under the supervision of the licensed vet in the room lol |
09:29:55 #Vettechnician| A vet tech is basically everything, in a human hospital, but in one person |
09:29:09 Ally 💜| I think the hardest thing right now is finding a good vet. Majority of them are super busy and cant take appointments for months on end. Boomer went to a low cost clinic because it would have been months for them to see him if we booked with a vet clinic |
09:28:57 #Vettechnician| But someone told me about vet tech 10 years ago, and I changed my path. As a vet tech, you do everything the vet does BUT 4 things: perform surgeries, prescribe meds, diagnose animals, and perform rabies vaccinations. OTHER than that,, vet techs DO it all. For a 2 year degree, you run the labs, the exams, monitor anesthesia, fill meds, etc |
09:27:27 Hummer| @Helix, what made you decide to become a vet tech instead? |
09:26:36 #Vettechnician| I wanted to become a veterinarian |
09:26:08 Hummer| What I find ironic is if there is a shortage of vets, why are so many vets discouraging young people from becoming a vet? That happened to me. Multiple vets told me don't do it and ultimately made me give up pursuing that career. |
09:24:47 Hummer| @Ally, that's so sad. I'm sorry. I would be feeling pretty bitter if that happened to me. =( |
09:24:12 Ally 💜| We lost a dog because no emergency vets would take her :/ we had to wait until the morning and take her to the only appointment we could get and she had passed that night |
09:22:59 #Vettechnician| They turned down a dog who had gotten into a dog fight, it's ear handing from it's head. and told the owner to go to the emergency center. Plus the doctors had went to lunch so we couldn't do anything as a vet tech but give them vet wrap cause to stitch, I think legally I need a veterinarian present, but not sure on that one |

>!< Dixie >!< - She glanced at the foxes arriving near her and tucked her tail underneath her in submission, she didn't wanna come off as a rude fox. She perked her ears as once spoke to her, "Nice to meet you as well", she said to the she fox but kept her tail underneath her rump. - >!< Hawthorne >!< - He noticed the nervousness on Dixie's face, therefore he trotted over to give her comfort, he nudged her side and sat beside her. "I'm Hawthorne, this is Dixie and the one behind us is Kaiya", he told the she fox with a small grin. - >!< Kaiya >!< - Her white coat shimmered in the sunlight as Hawthorne mentioned her name, she dunked out of the shadows and made herself more visible, her blue eyes pierceing to look at the she fox who had spoken to her friends. |

Smokey saw more foxes and perked her ears up. She jogged over interested by the foxes. |

>!< Dixie >!< - She perked her ears as she sat beside Hawthorne and infront of Kaiya, her white coat shimmering in the sunlight of where she sat. Gazing into the distance, she noticed more foxes. - >!< Hawthorne >!< - His dark black coat glazed in the sunlight, his eyes watching in a protective stance over both Dixie and Kaiya, his eyes nerver leaving the two females. - >!< Kaiya >!< - She sat behind Hawthorne and Dixie, to nervous to make her apperence known, even though she was breathtaking, she never really enjoyed showing herself to other foxes that weren't her two friends. |
