 09:40:00 Hummer| @Helix, I get that. I grew up with a single Mom too which ingrained in me the need to be able to get a job to support myself. |
09:38:41 #Vettechnician| My mom was a single mom of 2 going to school and working full time, yes I am married, BUT if I am going to have a family, I want to have my priorities straight |
09:38:39 Wander why couldn't you have one more P so I could keep you?

09:37:31 Ally 💜| The shelter said she needed 3 more boosters and a rabies vaccination. Im just looking for a good vet currently |
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 |
