From the blissfully smooth to the guilt-inducing no-money client, I fluctuate between joy and stress throughout my day. One hair-pulling situation involves the disabled pet owner of two small fluffy dogs who routinely appoints her caregiver the task of bringing the aging beasts to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s internship season which always makes me wonder: Is life after an internship so radically different from spending your first year in private practice? I decided to forgo an internship, mostly for financial and marital reasons. Kudos to my husband who tolerated my indebtedness for four years of vet school. This year&#8217;s new veterinary graduates [...]]]></description>

At least that&#8217;s my experience with my chronic snotting, snuffling, sneezing, snorking cat. Winston has successfully plastered my walls with copious amounts of mucous with a holding power rivaling the largest tube of gorilla glue. If you have one of [...]]]></description>

Mrs. Notesta brought her young cats to our clinic years ago, well before I worked there. At the time, she declined Felv/FIV testing saying, in what typically amounts to a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recent comments on my posts have touched on one of the most pervasive yet least talked about subjects in veterinary medicine: Burnout. There were no courses in vet school on how to deal with this topic. I suppose we are expected to suck it up and deal with it. That doesn&#8217;t sit well with me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Veterinary Medicine magazine article provides some good insights on approaches to puppy socialization. From the article&#8230; The American Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) recently released a position paper outlining the importance of early puppy socialization, preferably before the puppy reaches 12 to 16 weeks old.

		<description><![CDATA[Changing ideas on work and life have been festering in the veterinary field for years. The now female dominated profession (80% of new graduates are women) has swung the pendulum back in the direction of family oriented work schedules.
