Do you buy your pet’s veterinarian a Christmas gift?

By Rick, August 19, 2010 3:28 am

My cat has been through a lot this year–two different surgeries, asthma flare-ups, etc. I was thinking of getting the vets and vet techs who cared for him a gift–maybe buying a few pounds of bakery cookies and writing a nice card. On the other hand, I feel they’ve been well-compensated for their work. (Well the vets at least; the vet techs make pennies.) What would you do?

What is it Like to Become an Exotic Pet Vet

By Rick, July 12, 2010 3:23 am

If you are a practicing local veterinarian, you might want to consider taking in exotic pets as patients too. Regular pets like dogs and cats maybe a common thing for you, but are you ready to take on the challenge of being an exotic pet veterinarian?

Since you are in this field for quite sometime you might think of becoming one. Being an exotic pet veterinarian has a lot of advantages. And here are just some of them.

1. You will have a broader range of clients. Imagine more people consulting you for all their pets, no matter what kind it is. That also means you will be able to earn more by being able to expand your clinic or office.

2. You will become more famous. There are just a few exotic pet veterinarians in your area, for sure. A regular veterinarian may be one too many, but an exotic veterinarian isn’t. You may even have customers coming from other states, just to consult you regarding their pets.

3. You will widen your knowledge about animals. Being confined to dogs, cats, and other regular pets could be less challenging after being in the field for too long. Maybe it’s time to take your expertise to another level and take on skunks, turtles, and snakes as patients.

4. You will be able to help the environment. Being a veterinarian of exotic pets would enable you to help injured and very sick animals out of danger. You can lengthen their lives and add to the preservation of their species in the process.

5. You will be able to inform other people. As you attend to sick exotic pets, you can enlighten its owners as to the proper care these types of animals need. And you will also be able to give them tips to prevent the same illness from happening again.

6. You can use your knowledge and expertise in reaching out to more people. Once you have became an exotic pet veterinarian and have done well in it, you will be able to use all the things you have learned in making informed decisions people wanting to get exotic pets. You can join an advocate protecting exotic animals or other similar organizations according to your personal beliefs and principles.

Being an exotic pet veterinarian could mean lots of things to learn and lots of information to digest, even if you are a practicing veterinarian already. You might even go back to school again for that purpose alone. But think of the things it can give you. Being an exotic pet vet can become really fulfilling so just go for it.

Does the way the veterinarian restrains my pet during surgery hurt him?

By Rick, May 12, 2010 2:51 am

I’ve seen pictures on the web showing the animal upside down on their backs with their legs pulled in all four directions and I’m afraid it’s going to hurt my cat as much as the spay surgery. Is there something I can tell the doctor so he treats her better during surgery?
