Dr. T

Sweaty, double-chinned, and blood-soaked down to my underwear but positively ecstatic because I got a nasty uterine prolapse replaced!! More than proved myself to another one of our longtime beef clients who usually requests the senior, male vets 🎉

@txdvm1 We only have one size float and one size speculum because that stuff is EXPENSIVE and we can't justify it. Worked totally fine in this mouth

@DrT_DVM Do you use a regular float on the minis? I am debating a mini head for my terafloat and mini speculum but hard to fork out the cash.

Did I have to just about lay on the floor and twist my head around like an owl to get the mini donkey's teeth floated? Yes. But did I get the poor old girl in more comfortable shape by the time I was done? Absolutely also yes! Gotta love those tiny critters 🫏

Best excuse to miss a meeting ever

@JPerlis Love love love the alliteration

@DrT_DVM I already have a food name cat - Ramen but you have convinced me. Her new name will be Gouda Gary.

Met a cat named Cheddar Bob and I am OBSESSED I think all cats should have a cheese first name and human middle name.

@DrDCowVet This is for some goat kids I didn't even consider the human implications lol

@DrT_DVM The new Covid cure?!

A vet's contribution to the barbecue 😂 gotta make yourself useful if you drive past the office on your way over

@dotdotdoht Ugh that's awful

Why is today the day of dogs that've been coughing for a month but have totally normal X-rays and bloodwork... Owners swear it's not the wildfire smoke but idk what else it is 🤷‍♀️

@theirnewstart This is why I'm so glad I left Amish country, where they sometimes kept popping out foals through November

@DeckCatRescue Yeah, the quills had been in for about 36hrs before we were called so plenty of time for inflammation to get going.

Today's fun: horse vs. porcupine

@KatpEvans @txdvm1 Came here to say exactly this!

@txdvm1 Great work! Now please can you DM me the lottery numbers!??? (Or have you just gone and bought your own tickets?)

Apparently two months ago I gave the new owners of a rescue pig a suspected due date on the piglets I saw on brief ultrasound based solely on vibes and bravado, and they called me today to tell me she went into labor smack dab on the day I made up. #vettwitter

@jmcartdvm @cornellvet Congrats!!

Honored and excited to lead this amazing group of people @cornellvet!

When I saw the appointment booked for "grass stuck up nose" I thought it was a dog with a grass awn but nope, this dumb cat somehow managed to suck this whole blade of grass way up in there. Quick and easy fix!

@lil_kdoo11 We had a case like this when I was in school - dog presented for extreme neck pain and inability to turn its head. Turned out it kebab'd itself straight down the esophagus.

Spayed 3 barn cats today and 2 of them were pregnant... Tis the season!!

A big factor in changing jobs was that I wanted to do more dairy work - so far so good on that front! In my first week here I cut an RDA (with minimal checks/reassurance from my boss) plus tackled a uterine torsion on my first night on call. Feels good to be back in it 🐮

Stuffed my pocket full of biscuits before appointments this morning and the last dog I saw found them IMMEDIATELY and now I have a very damp, drooly pocketful of biscuits 👅

@KuragariNoKaze I did plenty at my last job working with our commercial dog breeders but these were ALL beloved pets so it was wayyyyyy different

I did 6 euthanasias and a blocked cat today - I'm tired. Thankfully the one new puppy appointment was super fluffy and a good break in the middle of the crying owners.
