I have had friends work for vets that are unethical and will decide how much to charge you based on whatever stupid reason, or just play Solitaire and do as little work as possible. I don't know how those people exist are hopefully now that we're in the social media / Yelp era they get called out.

One of the more frustrating things I can't figure out how to help with is getting people low cost veterinary care. The local vets often object to animal shelters offering low-cost services to the public other than s/n, shots & microchips. A shelter I worked at did have a public clinic at one of our facilities but then people were like "I don't wanna drive to that neighborhood" :facepalm: so I dunno. Anybody do low-cost services in your community?

My partner is a veteranarian and she works really hard. I love her.

That's my vet story.

She's not a fan of these forums but she used to be all about VIMS back when she was in general practice.

What's VIMS?

BTW did we finally permaban the people with the DVAngel names or whatever? I haven't posted in PI in 10 years because of worthless people like them. They chased away a lot of good posters.

Light-hearted question. I used to use a Bordatella vaccine that smelled like banana. That was a long time ago though. Anybody ever use that & taste it? :P

You might be thinking of dewormer? Pyrantel pamoate is often banana flavored.

Oh yeah! What was I thinking. It's been more than a decade since I had that job.

I had a dog with a squamous cell carcinoma in her nose, and it was able to be removed, with the help of an MRI, though she lost part of her jaw, and her nose, so she was a very funny looking girl.

Later, when she had a brain tumor, I refused chemo, because the prognosis still wasn't great, and she would have to stay all day 3x a week at some hospital which would really freak her out.
