![](./images/menu2/treesspring.jpg) 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 |
09:21:58 Hummer @Helix, vets around here won't do that even if you are a client. Thankfully I found a vet who was willing to help my dog when he had an emergency and I quickly switched to them as my permanent vet. That was after calling 15 other vets though, no joke. |
09:19:11 #Vettechnician The vets I interned for, only take emergencies if you were their client. If you weren't their client, you had to go to the emergency center which was a half an hour drive, but there was no guarantee they'd take the animals, if they are short staffed they won't take on more then they can handle |
09:17:11 Hummer Also, stupid that I live in a big city, but no vets take emergencies. Nearest emergency vet is an hour away. |
09:14:15 #Vettechnician Problem is, I live in a small town. There are 2 rescues here in town, and the other rescue can't seem to keep anyone to help them(they have been in trouble NUMEROUS times for using vet techs as veterinarians). I wouldn't work for them even if it was the last job in town. |
09:11:39 Hummer I wish more vets around here worked with shelters. I think it is almost an obligation that every vet should do. |

Hook looks like a nice match. He's TB though, so might be on the expensive side. Edited at June 29, 2024 06:13 PM by Eyrie of the Stars

I definately second Hook. Him + sven would be a great match. I believe he costs 175k for a straw.
