Hi all,

I’m a seasoned veterinary assistant with ER/Specialty practices. My own 13.5 y/o fs dog had a mass suddenly appear on 8/30 that appeared cystic and popped. I was initially concerned it was a foxtail. It then grew a second mass over the site we probed, which has since been confirmed to be a viral papilloma. We did a cytology that came back as sebaceous tissue, and then a set of biopsies with a surgeon. Rads confirmed no bone involvement, but mass shows a mineralized core.

The surgeon does not feel confident that we can get clean margins given she is a 2.6 kg dog and the location. She has a history of suspect ibd that is managed with prednisone and metronidazole.

Hi all, New tele tech here. 3rd semester nursing student, took a certificate course at my local JC in 2023. I also have 10 years experience working in a specialty veterinary hospital where I have monitored telemetry on pets.

I just started a job within the month working at a smaller (human) hospital. On average I’m monitoring 8-11 patients on tele and 2-3 on sats, as well as backup for the ICU (average 3-6 on tele). I am the only tech on for the day.

On top of this, they have me as the sole unit secretary, managing patient discharges/admits in the EMR/call light system, answering call lights, printing out packets and organizing discharges and admits, answering the main phone line for the

Hi all, I am a vet assistant. I am fostering with the intention on owning a 12 year old yorkie/maltese mix. I need some assistance/guidance with re-conditioning her to tolerate grooming.

A little background: She was brought into my clinic in borderline sepsis due to a necrotic limb that required amputation secondary to matting and neglect. The worst I’ve seen in my over decade in the field. We filed a report with animal control and she is in protective custody while court proceedings are ongoing.

I’ve had her for around a year now and it has become harder to groom her at home, and for our groomer to handle her. While she was recovering from her amputation, she would tolerate brushing. O

Hey all!

I ordered makeup from Colourpop that United States Postal Service marked "delivered to your mailbox" on March 28th. I promptly contacted USPS and after some back and forth, they acknowledged that they must have put my package in the wrong p.o box and were unable to retrieve it. I tried to get in contact with my neighbors to no avail.

I contacted Colourpop and did not receive a response within 2 business days, so I opened a dispute with PayPal. I also opened a "lost mail" claim with usps. For the last week, the only response Colourpop will give me is variations of the following:

Your general location:

I have been subletting to my roommate for about 6 months now, and I would say things have been tolerable for the most part. Her boyfriend is not technically a roommate, but spends the night 6/7 days a week. He also relies on her for transportation in the morning to work, so he is always around.

Lately, they have been fighting more and more. The last physical altercation between them that I witnessed was probably about 2-3 months ago, and she gave me her word that it would not happen again in the house again.

Last week, her boyfriend told me that a fight over her being late to work turned physical when he tried to leave the (parked) vehicle and walk to work. She charged at him and attempt
