Suicide In the Veterinary Field
September is Suicide Awareness Month and, though it often brings to mind teenagers who feel like they have no other choice, the truth is that it is out there. Many people think about committing suicide, while several go through with it. It doesn't matter their age, sex, or career.

During summer and into autumn, helped by humid and warm weather, flea eggs are hatching constantly and faster than ever. More eggs hatching means more fleas, and more fleas means more eggs to hatch!

Be kind to your veterinary staff
Tonight, I’m working one of my two swing/overnight shifts a week. I’m doing what I love. I’m a veterinary technician at an emergency hospital, and helping animals is my passion in life. This job is one of the most fulfilling jobs I can do, and I fully intend to continue taking care of animals in some aspect for the rest of my life.

Jazz the Rocker Cat
I have lived with cats most of my life. I have sought out cats and cats have found me. I have never had more than two at a time, except once when I had four. Usually I only have one. I like cats.

All For One
Wyatt Martin, poster boy for a generic, unassuming 38-year-old white male. At a meager 5’9”, 167 pounds, widow’s peak beginning its formation on his forehead, it was like he was spit out of an assembly line, forever doomed to be ordinary. The kind of person most people wouldn’t look at twice, but that never bothered Wyatt since he wasn’t a people person. Immediately after high school he attended a university to be a veterinarian and after graduation and earning his license, he went on to study all forms of exotic animals, traveling to other countries for the betterment of his knowledge. Animals, after all, were the deepest of his passions and the reason he wanted to be a veterinarian. No animal left behind, because to Wyatt, every single one was priceless.

Pawprints
Fur. Feathers. Scales. Paws. Beaks. Claws. In the past 6 years of which I have been a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have experienced such a large number of the aforementioned types of animals I've lost count. All have crossed my path due to differing circumstances, whether it be their unfortunate ill health or their exciting first chapter with a new family. But each one was special.

Veterinary Staff
All my life, my jobs have been considered essential. I've worked in horse barns, at dog kennels, and at veterinary clinics. Even in snow storms with a Ford Fiesta, I made the trek to work to take care of the animals. Never in a million years did I expect essential to include working during a global pandemic.

I love my job
Currently, I work as a full time veterinary surgical technician. I'm not licensed, I didn't go to a special school or go through a special program. I didn't even have a lot of experience or training in the field when I was hired. I was trained solely at the clinic I work at. I have put in a lot of hours, including unpaid hours at home, learning skills to make me a good technician, and let me tell you, I am a DAMN good veterinary technician.
