Hey yall, I’m having some trouble deciding what to do with my next summer.
The options currently are really either an internship or research.
My stats currently are:
Vet hrs: 1240 (all in small animal)
Animal hours: too many to count
Research:
25 hrs in diary research
25ish hrs in wildlife research (data analysis)

I’m mostly have difficultly choosing, because I think an internship would be better, but I’d get paid for research and be able to keep my current jobs over next summer if I stayed. I also really love dairy cows, and the next research trial I’d do, would most likely be dairy again. I feel like an internship would diversify my vet hours more, but I liked the independence research gives (and it’s paid).

My animal hours mostly come from dairy and horses.

Hey y’all I need some advice on whether I’m doing the right thing or being selfish. I brought my childhood dog to college, in an attempt to give her a more stable better life. She was previously under the care of my wonderful parents, but wasn’t getting walked, played with, or trained very often. She was SUPER overweight. In my apartment she gets regular training, walks 4x a day, fetch outside 2x a day, and regular play sessions.

The dilemma comes to the fact my roommates got a kitten who is overly curious. My dog doesn’t fixate on them meowing, or sounds from their collars, but this kitten continually gets into her space and overwhelms her. She is never allow with the cat, and has only don’t supervised sessions where she is leashed and ask to lie down while it’s around.

She was previously reactive to people and dogs, but no longer reacts on leash or through windows. She’s met a cat before, on accident, who went after her and scratched up her nose, but she did not retaliate. Of course I understand this doesn’t give any more hope for me as a dog is a dog. I just cannot get her to not fixate on this kitten. Today, my roommates were gone, I searched everywhere for this cat, couldn’t find it, assume they locked it away. I was wrong, she found the cat and of course chased it. Nobody was injured, the cat was horrified. She was easily caught, but I just feel stupid. I’m just confused, because she doesn’t fixate on prey outside, and is easily redirected.

My options currently are:
-Wait another month and return her back to my parents, and hopefully get a studio apartment next year with no cats
-Wait to see if she magically likes the cat
-Keep them separated permanently

I am also asking the vet if we can up her Prozac to a more appropriate dose, but I’m honestly not even sure if that would help.

Hello!
I work at a veterinary clinic and was able to keep an eye from an enucleation with permission from all parties involved. The eye was kept in a veterinary specimen jar with 10% formalin, while I was gone for 2 weeks. I know traditionally you are meant to inject the eye with formalin, but I am wary about handling formalin. My question is, can I leave the eye in its current solution, or does it have to be injected?
If I have to inject it, do I just poke behind the eye, and will the fact it’s sat for 2 weeks be an issue?

I’ve been trying to draft some kind of personal statement for the next cycle round, but I honestly have no clue what to write about. I’ve worked at the same rural small animal GP. I don’t know what to write, because the clinic is a wreck. Everyone is at eachother throat, management sucks, everyone’s burnt out. I feel like I can’t use this experience without seeming like I hate the field.
I feel like nothing I write will stand out, and it’ll be the cliche “I love helping people” or something.
