Atlas here had a run in with a bee Did you know pets have allergic and hypersensitivity reactions too? Common symptoms include swelling to the affected area (usually around the face as our pets like to sniff to investigate), as well as rashes and hives. In some cases, pets can develop an anaphylactic reaction, which becomes life threatening. Little Atlas here developed a swollen muzzle, and loved the attention at North Lakes today .

I wholeheartedly adore my job, but the fact is, burnout is cited as one of the most commonly faced dilemmas in vet med. I truly wish all days were this Instagrammable and glamorous. In actuality, 1 in 6 veterinarians have considered suicide. NOT OKAY. Those of us in this field are likely to become stressed and overwhelmed owing to the volume and nature of the job. It often feels like the world is on our shoulders—no time to rest, eat, or use the bathroom, constantly ringing phones, very ill pets, very demanding and high-strung owners, and what seems like little appreciation and support from others. We often are forced to cancel personal life plans to care for a sick animal, thus leading to resentment of those things we once cared for so highly. The lines of work–life balance are often blurred, and the stress from the workday is often taken home with us, ultimately leading to an overtired, overworked, and seemingly unvalued vet professional.
There is no question whether depression is on the rise in vet med. Depression knows no limits, and we all must take care of ourselves and one another. The field of veterinary medicine can only be as great as the people in it.
Self-help tips for combating depression:

REACH OUT. There is a tendency to isolate yourself during difficult times. Reaching out is not a sign of weakness. In fact, many of those in vet med likely have felt similarly at one point or another. You are not alone on this journey. EXERCISE FIGHTS DEPRESSION. Aim for at least 30 minutes daily, whether it’s a HIIT class, yoga, or a walk with your pup. PICK UP A NEW HOBBY, (or binge watch a new Netflix series). GET ON A SLEEP SCHEDULE. Avoid increased stimulation (TV, computer, cellphone, etc.) for at least one hour before bedtime. GET SOME SUNLIGHT. Take a brief stroll outside during a break. RELAXATION. Yoga, meditation, deep breathing, a hot bath, or a massage can be beneficial. EAT BETTER. Don’t skip meals. Aim for a snack every 3-4 hours. Minimize sugar intake to decrease a crash in mood and energy.

What is Abnormal Skin Shedding?
All reptiles shed their skin. The medical term for shedding is ecdysis, but it’s commonly called sloughing or molting.
Healthy adult snakes shed their skin on a regular basis, generally about once a month but this varies depending on the breed. Younger snakes shed more often due to a higher growth rate, while older snakes shed less frequently.
Shedding is vital to a snake’s health, growth, and life expectancy. Shedding also removes parasites.
A healthy snake will slough its skin in one piece, including the eye caps; a new layer of skin grows beneath the old. Abnormal skin shedding in snakes is not a disease itself, but rather a sign of malnutrition, poor husbandry or an underlying medical condition.
If your snake exhibits abnormal shedding, visit your local veterinarian for a consult.
