Most animal drugs: you must use this within 6 minutes and it must be stored between 61 and 63 degrees Fahrenheit.
Every farmer I know - this bottle of ivermectin has been in my family since 1924. We store it under the trailer.
ok this did more for me than an entire year of pharmacology
Like i just saw a colleague from my year telling a vet student to "just accept that vet is your life now."
NO.
That is so unhealthy. No wonder we come out and hardly survive 2-3 years (let's be honest some employers don't really help with this).
We get this deluded thought that we have to live and breathe vet school to survive. But you don't! If you live and breathe vet school you will fail.
Not academically, but mentally, emotionally, and physically you will fail. You'll lose social groups, you'll lose fitness, you'll lose health.
Don't put your body and mind through hell for a piece of paper.
👆this 100%
i just want to say this is 1) excellent and 2) not uncommon…i work at a vet clinic and some of the names are so fuckin weird but i love it???? clients will be like “we call her stevie. it’s short for death metal steve” or “this is turkey but his LEGAL name is scarecrow jones” thank u
I had to write up federal papers for a herd of cattle that included all official and unofficial identification tags. When I asked the farm name of one of the old beef cows with a low udder, the owner paused and said “Uh, we call her Tits. Because of her big..” Me, trying to figure out what goes on the federal form: “Uh, ok but what’s on her farm tag?” Owner:“Uh… well…” Then he showed me her ear tag with no name, just a hand drawn pair of human mammary glands. “W” with two dots. We just used her official RFID number.

Just got an alert that rabbit hemorrhagic fever is now in the US, especially in the South west states (Arizona, texas, Colorado, new mexico) and northern mexico. It will likely spread to california soon. The vaccine is being imported from spain, expected to arrive in the month. Please keep an eye on your buns and make contact with your vets.
here’s the article, for people who want to read up more on it. Please be aware that there’s a picture of a dead rabbit with a bloody nose right at the top. Like as soon as you open the article, you WILL see it.
RHDV2 has been found in several dead wild rabbits in these areas. This is extremely worrying, because, while it had affected domestic rabbits in the states before, it was always extremely localized and didn’t affect the wild population. Now it is, so there’s a risk it could become endemic to the areas.
RHDV2 is spread through contact with infected rabbits or infected materials (food, water, nesting material, etc); there’s even evidence that it can be spread by biting insects. A small viral load can result in infection. It’s very deadly. The RHDV2 variety is less deadly than RHDV1, but that’s not saying much. Your best hope is to catch it early:
“The time from infection to first signs of disease may be up to nine days. Affected rabbits may develop a fever and die within 36 hours. Infected rabbits may appear dull and be reluctant to eat; have congested membranes around the eyes; show signs of nervousness, incoordination or excitement; and/or make paddling movements. They may have trouble breathing. Upon death, they may have a blood-stained, frothy nasal discharge.”
Thankfully, there are vaccines, but they aren’t approved for commercial use in the US or Canada. Veterinarians can apply for special permissions from the USDA in the US (I’m unsure what agencies you’d have to apply to in Canada or Mexico).
Ok as someone who knows Much More about dog behavior than me can you help explain why this sounds very wrong? In a fb training group a mod was stating your dog should be at a solid heel every second its on a leash, no matter if it's a casual walk or hike or w/e. It was a dumb and arbitrary conversation but in her words "why should my dog NEED to explore? all their focus should be on me" and that just feels so very?? Wrong and borderline inhumane to not let a dog explore ever? But I cant word why
people like that mod are control freaks. it's seriously narcissistic - I would love to see her try to justify that stringent controllingness when gazillions of trainers give their dogs more freedom and independence and enjoy an increased degree of cooperation as a result.
the ENTIRE reason I walk Happy is to allow her to sniff, lol... if she is shorted a walk I can spy differences in her behavior, and if she goes without any walks for a day or two the differences are even more pronounced. I saw somewhere or another that sniffing actually lowers cortisol levels in dogs. while I haven't researched that further, I totally believe it, based on how much more likely Happy is to boil over into this:
...complete with teeth gnashing and angry noises, when she has been shorted her sniffs.
preventing dogs from engaging in their primary sense (olfaction) is equivalent to blindfolding a human on walks and deeming that adequate stimulation, as far as I am concerned. except more disturbing because dogs do not have the choice to go for a walk in their preferred way on their own time. they are totally dependent upon us. and like I said above, there is really no benefit to bullying your dog into ignoring their surroundings in favor of concentrating on us 24/7. preventing dogs from processing their environment can lead to a HOST of behavioral issues, also, but that is a larger training topic. what kind of relationship with your dog do you have if you can't trust them to do anything but stare at your face?? I agree, it is inhumane.

Having seen some births now i can say that dog birth is amazing cos they just slip n slide out one after the other like a little conveyor belt. And theyre so little and unformed. And then UNGULATE BIRTHS ... are amazing for the opposite reason which is that 10mins after being born they are filing their taxes. Unless they are goats, in which case they are committing tax fraud instead
Goats are what is called a precocial species, which means that shortly after birth they are able to do many thimgs on their own, such as standing, walking, eating, and embezzlement
I saw your response on cow slaughter and I wanted to know if you know how cows are treated through their life before they are killed? I always heard it is in humane(most from v*gens)
Native beef calves (~75%) are raised until weaning by their mothers out on pasture. They then may be sold to a backgrounder (spending more time growing on pasture) or they might be sold to a feedlot. If they’re grass-finished they’re probably kept on pasture and they skip the feedlot. Feedlots tend to remind me of free stall dairies; they have a bad rap but having been on many I think it’s undeserved - the animals seem pretty content and comfortable to me, and the food they eat is a cow’s favorite meal. They stay at the feedlot until they’re at market weight, then they’re sold to processors around 16-18 months - beef calves go younger than dairy calves.
20% of beef is from dairy steers - these are the sons of dairy cows. They’re raised just like dairy heifers, on bottles, nurse cows, or however else. They may also be backgrounded on pasture, or they’ll go to a feedlot. They take longer to finish than beef cattle and will probably be ready around 18-24, longer if they’re grass fed. Again I don’t think either grass or grain fed is better for welfare necessarily; both can be comfortable.
I’m personally quite confident that beef is raised humanely, at least in the US
