Anyone brave enough to take chocolate away from the staff room? 😂 Any small change would YOU actually try in your practice? 🩺💭

We all know the vet practice survival kit: emergency chocolate + yet another coffee just to make it through the afternoon 😅 It gives a quick boost… but let's be honest, it's not exactly fuelling our long-term wellness. Time for some sneaky upgrades?

Just seen a poster like that in the staff room and I though I will contribute 😂

Not banning the junk food treat days…but raising awareness of better options for us at the end of a long shift 😊

A mindful colouring book or mini zen garden on the table for skillful hands Gentle "please take phone calls outside" vibe in the staff room

Other tiny swaps that add up: Swap the shouty radio for lo-fi café beats or chill playlists (we already play calming music for the cats so maybe for us too?)🎶🤔

A couple of hardy, low-maintenance plants in the staff room (real ones, not plastic!) can literally help reduce stress. Bonus: they look nice and might even survive chaotic coffee spills 🌿

Idea that probably won't make me popular 😂 What if we turned "Stand-up Day" into a real thing in the staff room? Plug in the TV / USB / YouTube → 10–15 min of stand-up comedy during a quiet moment. A proper belly laugh drops cortisol faster than you can say "ehh next consult".

Wow, finally voice of reason and respect!

I just had a client for 1st vaccinations with... 12 years old dogs (2 of them!). Never vaccinated, no flea and worming treatment, not spayed... When I said she needs to come for 2nd vaccs, the owner replied "She's tough" 😂 Still need one more, even the tough ones 😉😁

@vetcpd Maybe comprehensive course on mast cell tumour?

Lymphoma is the most common malignancy in cats and a very frequent diagnosis. It has a range of presentations that poses a diagnostic and treatment dilemma to the clinician. buff.ly/3LQ7H8P

I had 33 appointments yesterday. A lot or not enough? 😉

@ViVetUK @AHInnovation Interesting. What was it really about?

Please guys can you NOT advise the clients to count drops when they apply ear meds? It means they will not do it correctly and just drip from a distance, meaning poor penetration into the ear canal.
