I wish people would understand that medicine isn’t magic. You don’t know how many times people ask if I can just “give him a shot” to make their animal better. Sometimes the treatment is that simple, and that’s great! But if we offer a certain approach with various diagnostics, you can be pretty sure the answer is no. And also, even if we do everything right, sometimes we can’t save animals. I wish we could, I really do. But people seem to have this idea in their head that once they get their pets to us, the work is done.

Another thing is I wish people would understand is how important preventative care is, especially for exotics. So many of our patients only come in for vaccines (cats, dogs, ferrets, pet pigs) or when they’re sick. Especially exotics. Yes you will have to pay a yearly or bi-yearly exam fee but if we can catch problems earlier (AKA the point of preventative med) you will save money in the long run and your animal will likely live longer. Dogs we at least tend to see yearly because we have to write a prescription for heartworm meds (which requires a current exam) but other animals we may only see when they’re legitimately on their death bed.

I wrote a little blerb about preventative care for exotics here.

I wish people would realize that it is literally illegal to prescribe medication of any kind without having seen the patient in the past year. I’m not trying to get your money - I literally can’t give you any medications if you don’t bring the pet in for an exam.

I wish people would not give whatever drug they have laying around at home before coming to see me. I’ve had people giving Bactrim (trimethoprim/sulfa) for their dog’s urinary tract infection, eye drops that they were given by their own doctor for weeping eyes, and Aleve for pain relief. So in those instances, I can’t perform an accurate urine culture to treat the UTI, the dog’s autoimmune dry-eye went for longer without treatment so it got an ulcer, and the dog on Aleve died in the owner’s arms from liver toxicity. A call to the vet is free, so don’t make any treatment decisions without one!

please don’t ever give any human medication to your animal without a vet prescribing it. 

i absolutely feel very bad when i end up having to treat for acetaminophen toxicity instead of treating whatever made a cat sick.

A/N: Because I’m lazy, I’m copy-and-pasting an old answer (with updated avatars) which more-or-less still holds up but will do a part 2 tomorrow with other bots

Ring Man: Gotta be techno, electronica, house, hip hop, synth-pop, and punk rock—whatever’s in and cool to dance to!

Magnet Man: Yeah.

Ring Man: But out here we only get country and western stations—which is cool I guess if you like that sort of thing…

Magnet Man: Yeah…

Ring Man: But none of the other robots around here really listen to music. A bunch of lame-os. I’ve been trying to get Gyro Man, Gemini Man, and Spark Man give a Cold Steel a concert in the badlands.

Gemini Man: For the last time, Cold Steel broke up. STOP ASKING.

Ring Man: C’mon, it’d be fun! I know the music sucked but people seemed to like it, and we could all hang out, meet some chicks, get some numbers…

Gemini Man: Yeah, pass, I have like zero interest in all of those things.

Spark Man: What’s the point of getting someone’s number? Skull Fortress has no phones, or, is like not hooked up for phone service.

Ring Man: Yeah, well, whatever!

Gyro Man: Also, our fangirls are super cool and all, but one day they’re asking you for autographs, the next day they’re flipping them on the street for $20.

Spark Man: Or they were actually undercover cops all along just trying to bust Wily.

Gyro Man: Besides, I like music—like psychedelic rock and yodeling…and Bright Man knows all the jingles from all of the chewing gum commercials, which is far out…and I think Guts Man likes the country stations.

Spark Man: I like them too!

Gemini Man: Oh my god, SHUT UP.

Julie: It’s real as she is totally okay with her life with him as long as she can use him. But it’s not real love from her side like most people would define it on standard couples.

Gail: I think it has to be real for Carrie. It is her life now. Carrie has never been into conventional relationships. Her conversation with Jenna on the rooftop is very telling. As they are discussing how can you be sure something is real - Carrie says “You can’t. Not completely anyway.” and she is turned on by it. Something lights up in her. Claire Danes plays that scene so well. That’s who Carrie is and always has been. Wasn’t it Carrie the one who said the best lies are made up of 95% truth? That is what her new life is. 95% her truth. They are in love and .... happy. What a twist!

Sara: Yes, it’s real. What Gail said. Also: 

alchemiter && adobe creative suite 4 && glassesYou got the REALITYBREAKER GLASSESThese glasses allow you to change and warp reality to your liking. There are two issues with these though: This item costs 10000000 zillium, -413413413 artifact grist as well as a few other grist types, and the program (assuming you can afford it) is rediculously complex and hard to use. You probably need some kind of class to learn how to use it properly, or you could always muddle around and learn it manualy. Which is really why these things are called what they are. You might delete a planet or two, who knows? We recommend you learn that undo button FIRST
