“Be a vet,” they said. “You get to play with puppies and kittens all day.” . . . 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. It’s #mentalhealthawarenessmonth, yo. ✌

Atividade ocupacional física para uma melhor qualidade de vida dos nossos animais. ♥️. Essas atividades são importantes para promover o bem estar físico e mental dos animais silvestres em zoos. #diariodeumveterinario #medveterinariabr #espacoselvagem #bigcat #onçapintada #gramadors #gramadozoo #zoo #faunabrasileira #instavet #vetlife

So, you think you want to be a zoo vet? Well, you are in for a rough journey. People will constantly put you down and tell you that your dreams are unachievable. Well I am here to say that they are only unachievable if you quit. • We never know what is going to happen in this life. Money is a made-up concept that governs many of our decisions. However, financial security is important for many of us and with the growing debt to income ratio among veterinarians, money and lifestyle have to come into consideration. • Maybe you are one of the fortunate who have not accrued student debt. Or maybe you will graduate with over $300,000 in student loans. We have to think about these things when deciding what career path to choose. • I once spoke with a veterinarian at the Georgia Aquarium who told me she had not even put a dent in her student loans. This is a scary concept for many of us out there. So, if you want to work in exotic animal medicine or zoo medicine, I do encourage you to think realistically about how you are going to financially support yourself and have the lifestyle you want. • It is not impossible to pay off loans on an exotic animal veterinarian salary; however, like most things it requires sacrifice and diligence. It might require working in a private practice that sees mostly dogs and cats with exotics on the side for a few years. You might consider pursing a residency in a specialty like Ophthalmology or Nutrition where you can consult with zoos and aquaria. • The thing is, if you are really good at something, you will get paid to do it. Stay motivated and keep following your heart. It will lead you where you are supposed to be, and it is possible it might not look the way you expected it to. Let go of the expectations and live in the in between. Life is happening now. Do what makes your heart happy. • “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist • How are you pursuing your dreams?

How to communicate to patients. Get on their level, speak in their language. The universal let’s play stance is a good place to start. ”Maia” is a pro! . . . . #vet #vetlife #veterinarian #fearfree #vizslapuppy #vizlasofinstagram #dr #drrosshenderson #partialtovizsla

This is great ! ever since late 80’s, vet dentists have used braces and other orthodontic appliances to treat different dental conditions ‍⚕️ ‍⚕️. Few of the conditions where braces are used in dogs could be: a situation of an overbite, when the lower jaw is shorter than the top, and the upper canines point out rather than down⬇️ . Linguoversion ↪️ - where the when the teeth are pushed back towards the tongue. In this position, the teeth may rub against the roof of the dog’s mouth Braces can also be used when a part of the jaw was removed for cancer treatment. . . .
