Next up: wildlife kept as pets 😰

@_nomadic_soul It’s also in an incubator? This is AI

I can always tell how my empathy/emotional exhaustion is doing based on whether I cry at things like this. The story of grizzly #399 has made me TEARY today.

[National Museum of Wildlife Art @WildlifeArtJH]

Today our community mourns the loss of wildlife icon, the Queen of the Tetons, grizzly #399.

In the winter of 2021/2022 we exhibited "While They’re Sleeping: A Story of Bears" with compelling images from wildlife photographer and conservationist Thomas G. Mangelsen.

Please stop throwing antibiotics & antihelminthics at your horses all willy nilly. Things are becoming resistant to the things we have faster than we’re able to find new ones and that’s a big reason why.

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

Voted today!

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

The dogs went as mascots for a work event today, and both did FANTASTIC. But man, are they wiped!

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

I’m not actually convinced I’ve ever been happier than this moment

I must be using my stethoscope wrong - is that what they’re teaching at the vet school these days?

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

@TheHussyHorse Serama? I love mine!

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

@mgundarso I handed the figurines off to get put on the cake and came out to this - not EXACTLY what I meant

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

Well, we did it. Such a fun, exhausting weekend!

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

@DrDCowVet So I THOUGHT I saw something that someone bought it but now I can’t find it. Was that you?

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

It’s interesting - as stressed out as I was leading up to the wedding, as soon as our first guest arrived, I CHILLED.

Groomsman dropped out? Fine. Big ole cold sore? Fine. Anxious extended family? Not my deal!

Let’s GOOOOO

Why does your indoor cat need a rabies vaccine? Why do I vaccinate pet goats and pigs for rabies too? Because like kids, they may not show signs they were bitten. And can expose humans as well! Rabies is not worth the risk.

[Oregon Veterinary Medical Association @oregonvma]

Sadly, a child in Ontario, Canada who woke up with a bat in their room has died of rabies. The child's parents saw no signs of scratches or bites and believed the child did not need rabies prophylaxis. 1/2 https://t.co/JRBhuwYRc2

Three weeks ago, in my pre-wedding panic, I tore up our front porch. I called it nesting, and everyone thought I was crazy.

Today, I finished putting it back together. I’m still a little crazy, I’ll admit, but I got it done!

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

@bielleogy I have experienced this too - the last couple of weeks I have just been on a hair trigger - waffling between anger and tears. Even when the wedding stuff is under control

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

I’ve had a headache for like 3 weeks now. Phone has entered do not disturb mode now. I will see things when I see them. Hope everything happens!

[me, DVM @txdvm1]

Wedding stuff is finalized. Nothing is unhandled. Why am I so stressed?
