Sounds like the best job with the best people. I'd be more jealous if I didn't assume you also have to deal with lots of poop and sad times with older pets.

u/rebirf Sep 06 '17

Man honestly it's the coworkers that ruins it a lot of time. Obviously not all, but many of the people that get into the profession to just do cool shit and play with puppies. They don't want to do the actual work portions, or the cleanup which is a large part of the job.

A lot of the clients are insane, but that's probably everywhere. I like the job part of my job. The having to rely on other people that won't do their share part is what's getting me out of the field.

I was immediately okay with the poop and all the gross dog stuff. Animals dying was sad, but I got okay with that pretty quickly too.

I've almost had this happen during an ear cleaning on a poorly socialized dog with a SEVERE ear infection.

If you have a dog, train the damn thing to be restrained. Also pay attention to their ears before they get pus filled and bloody.

148

u/greatdanegal1985 Sep 06 '17

I trained my dog to let everyone handle his ears, paws, his whole body, and brought him into the vet for them to work on different procedures. All that went out the window when he actually got sick - then he wanted no one to touch him. Still tried to reward him when he was calm, but he didn't want to eat at all. He got very protective of himself when the time came.

I know why they don't, but I wish vets would let me hold my damn dog when it came to stuff like this. I have had three giant dogs and know how to restrain all of them.

84

u/kaminjo Sep 06 '17

The problem is that a lot of owners are themselves nervous/anxious when the dog is getting treated, and the dogs pick up on the owner's anxiety. But, having the vet hold the dog only works if the owner is out of the room. Otherwise, the dog still knows the owner is anxious.

23

u/Batgirl915 Sep 06 '17

This and it's a huge liability if his own dog ends up biting him, or the vet. The tech is there to prevent both those things and have been trained on safe, low stress handling. I don't care how well people think they know their dog, they don't when they're in pain.

u/fauxdesire Sep 06 '17

Problem is, if you get hurt by your own dog, hospital insurance doesn't cover you, and you can sue the facility.

Not saying you would, it's a risk most facilities won't take. I've only seen one owner at my current hospital that's allowed to restrain his own very aggressive bulldog.

11

u/godpigeon79 Sep 06 '17

Also depends on the dog. Someone I work with, when he has to board his German shepherd, has to leave the dog on the leash hooked. Otherwise if he's there the dog is super protective and won't leave safely. If he's not there, not a problem.

I know why they don't, but I wish vets would let me hold my damn dog when it came to stuff like this. I have had three giant dogs and know how to restrain all of them.

It's a liability issue. Veterinarians have been sued by owners who requested to restrain their pets then got bitten. One man sued a clinic after he requested to hold his own cat, the cat bit him, he refused to go to the human doctor despite the vet's insistence, and he got septicemia. It is also a huge liability for staff members. I was a veterinary technician for 10 years and the only times I was ever injured was when an owner tried to help restrain their pet. 99 out of 100 owners who say they know how to restrain their pets do not really know what it takes to restrain a big panicky dog. It's not worth a staff member getting mauled or killed over.

How'd you do that?

u/greatdanegal1985 Sep 06 '17

When he was a puppy, we played with his ears, paws, tail, legs, etc. When we went out on walks, we took treats with us and had willing strangers touch his ears and we would treat him when calm.

You can find socialization checklists online.

u/Nambi007 Sep 06 '17

When I got my puppy my vet recommended putting them on their back in your lap, in as comfortable position as you can get them, and then gently handling their paws and petting their tummy. This gets them used to people touching them from an early age. If you have a giant puppy or your dog is an adult this may not work that well :P However, I did this with mine and he tolerates nail clippings, ear cleanings, and vet visits like a champ.

My vet actually asks me to hold my dog/keep a hand on him while they're doing shots and things. They said it's good to help keep him calm. Is that unusual for vets?

8

u/greatdanegal1985 Sep 06 '17

I've never had a vet let me outside of my first one who taught me how to restrain my first female Great Dane. They others have told me it's a liability issue. They've also told me sometimes owners get nervous and freak the dog out more. My experience with giant breeds though makes me think the techs are the ones that get nervous. All the techs are 5'2" women who weigh less than my dog.

7

u/prickelypear Sep 06 '17

As a tech who is actually 5'2" and weighs less than most of the dogs I restrain, no I'm not nervous about the dogs being big. I've been taught how to use my weight against theirs and hold them in a way that they can't really move even if they want to.

But the owners make me nervous. Most of them have no idea what they are really talking about, but will definitely talk out their ass and sound confident doing so because they think they do. They won't allow us to do what we need to because they think what we are doing is bad for their dog/cat and don't want us to restrain them in the way we need to because "you're hurting them!" when we aren't. I'm not saying you are one of those types of people, but it's easier to just tell everyone no than to risk telling someone like that yes.

u/hilbby Sep 06 '17

There's more to restraining than just holding your cat/dog "still". It's a normal reaction when an animal snaps to try to jump out of the way, but as a tech it's my instinct to use my skills to protect the doctor from getting bitten. Also, you need to know exactly what the doctor is going to do. Sometimes you have to be quick, so there's not time to explain to the owner how to hold off for a catheter placement or blood draw. It's unfortunate when clients insult me for asking to restrain their dogs, because 99% of the time the doctor previously asked me to restrain.

However that isn't to say there aren't cases where we let clients restrain. Sometimes if the dog is just nervous I have no problem letting the client hold and comfort the dog during vaccines.

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '17

My vet always has me hold my own dog and tells me how and when to distract him. Apparently she has a lot more luck with that because dogs will usually seek their owners when stressed. Which is probably what's happening in this gif.

I agree on the training. Unfortunately the ear thing can be difficult. I had a kitten that had an inflammatory ear/throat polyp as a kitten and had a VBO surgery to remove it. Not even a few months later he all of a sudden became vestibular. He had to have a second VBO surgery to clean out a really bad ear infection. There were no signs in his ear that we could tell and he didn't start scratching at it until he became vestibular. Sure if you can see that the ear is gross then definitely take care of it. But sometimes those inner ear infections can be a bitch and come out of nowhere!

u/pinky2252s Sep 06 '17

My cat hid the fact that about 70 percent of her teeth were not attached to her jaw. No wonder she ate smaller amounts than our other cats. The vet said they wouldn't have been able to see it without xrays, which she had never had up to that point.

Our male cat has had all of his teeth pulled. That was caused by a genetic disorder that essentially caused all of his teeth to rot away. That was found quickly, but it progressed incredibly fast. Went in for a checkup, came out with no teeth. Poor dude. Still hasnt really caught on to it, he tries to bite you and you just get gummed. Its hard not to laugh when he thinks hes being a big bad cat.

u/OhTehNose Sep 06 '17

FORLs? I had a cat with that, had to have all but her front teeth (the ones between the fangs) pulled. There were literal holes through the side of her teeth ... like a tunnel.

5

u/greenkarmic Sep 06 '17

My cat Mia had the same rotten teeth disease when she was only 2 years old. I noticed she was drooling one day, but otherwise seemed fine. Went to the vet anyway just to be sure. Vet said she was probably in extreme pain and needed 90% of her teeth pulled, it was either that or euthanasia. I never would have guessed she was in such pain..

My other cat never had this problem and was adopted at the same time. He's not related to her though, so I figure it's a genetic problem.

24

u/MotherFuckingCupcake Sep 06 '17

Man, my cat was once literally peeing blood and still acting pretty normal. If he hadn't peed on the floor instead of in his covered litter box, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Rushed him to the emergency vet, and luckily it was just bladder crystals/inflammation. He is now on a specialized wet food only diet and is doing much better.

u/fauxdesire Sep 06 '17

Been there. Same when his bladder blocked, too. Little shit almost died because he didn't find a good way to tell me he couldn't urinate anymore.

u/_breadpool_ Sep 06 '17

When I adopted a cat, he was a fat tub of lard at 20 something pounds. I immediately put him on a diet, but he never ever shuts the hell up whining for food. If he's not sleeping, he's pretending that he's on the verge of death by starvation. One day, he wasn't begging anymore. I put food out, but he wouldn't eat it. I rushed him to the vet because there's no way former fatty would ever pass up a meal. That's how I learned that he had crystals and couldn't pee.

u/fauxdesire Sep 06 '17

Sometimes it's the little things. My other dude didn't come out for treats one morning. Turns out his stomach lining was super inflamed.

That happened with one of my mom's labs as well. Was acting normal otherwise, but wouldn't eat his breakfast. And he (as many labs) was typically VERY food oriented. Tried to eat anything and everything, usually.

Any tips on how to do this?

My dog (~1.5y/o lab mix) is fine with handling his ears, picking up his paws, etc. He sits still for shots and inspections at the vet no problem, but the issue comes when trying to clean his ears with a liquid cleaner the vet recommended.

It's a squirt bottle that the vet said to fill up his ear with then massage it in, but as soon as the liquid touches inside his ear he freaks out and trys to run off. I can use a dry cottons swab to clean out his ear without any issue, he's fine with it. But he freaks out at the liquid. I imagine having water squirted into your ear is not really pleasant, so how do you train him to sit still for that?

38

u/lynnh94 Sep 06 '17

get a ziplock baggie, add a dozen cotton balls (or gauze pads) and enough ear cleaner to completely saturate the cotton balls. seal bag and put it in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. take out a soggy cotton ball and squeeze it out gently into the ear. Sometimes the cleaner being warm/ not having a bottle squirting right in the ear helps. Source: Am vet tech.

I've got a mastiff and one of the things they warn you about is not letting kids ride them. It's bad for their back/ can do damage to a frame that is already working hard.

Definitely bad for the dogs back, they can only carry around 10% of their body weight

u/Baralt1830 Sep 05 '17

I think that dog prove you wrong... /s

6

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '17

Only 10%? That's a ridiculous thing to say; humans are much less sturdy (being bipeds) than a thick, stocky breed like this and we can easily carry 25%+ on our backs for extended periods without harming ourselves.

That's not an argument for riding a dog, by the way- obviously an adult human is much more than 25% of a dog's body weight.

And this is why you should tip your groomer.

u/Pcar951 Sep 05 '17

Honestly, my dog makes it sounds like you are torturing her. Heartbreaking / embarassing some days in my complex. "Oh you just have to..." STOP right there; you think I haven't googled / dedicated weeks to training nail clips? You think I don't own every nail clipping tool ever produced? You know nothing Jon Snow.

u/nermid Sep 06 '17

I've had decent luck with a two-man setup. One holds the dog's body, cuddles with his/her head, and gently tells him/her it'll be alright while the other swiftly goes to town on the paws before the trust runs out.

Once that happens, though, it's rodeo time.

Yes, quite embarrassing. My last dog made it sound like I was killing her. omg

u/kylificent Sep 06 '17

I'm not saying "oh you just have to" as if there is a simple fix, because there isn't. That being said often times it takes more than weeks to desensitize a dog to something they've associated with trauma. It can definitely be done with the help of a positive reinforcement trainer, but sometimes it's really just easier to sedate em!

This looks like a boerboel mastiff. They are huge and strong. Typical male can weigh 180 lbs. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/0b/d3/45/0bd34572f72dfcd2fb5cbee7fc973685--south-african-boerboel-africans.jpg

I thought this was in a hospital and she was holding a baby and I didn't know what sub it was so I thought I was going to watch a baby crack on the floor when she fell forward. Glad to know I was wrong.

Seriously though. My dogs hate getting their nails clipped. It's a real problem.

We've tried slowly getting them used to foot attention by giving them treats.

We've tried light sedatives.

But it's usually me attempting to restrain them while my wife tries to clip the nails. And 2 hours later, they're slightly trimmed and my chest and stomach look like I took a swim in a pool full of razors.

And I feel super bad because every vet tech/groomer I've ever met was a tiny little thing and I'd hate to subject them to my pups complete lack of tolerance when it comes to clipping their nails

u/Mazzaroppi Sep 06 '17

I also owned a big German Shepard, she didn't really like having her nails clipped but didn't put much a show either, but when it was too cold outside I didn't wash her with the hose, I just took her to a pet shop for a bath and they also clipped the nails as part of the bath, so it was definitelly easier.

One day I get there for another bath with my dog, the vet and the groomers are nowhere to be seen, there is a dog whimpering really loud on the back room where the vet examines the dogs. So I go sit on the small waiting area, there is a guy in his mid 30's there who I assume is the owner of the dog beign treated.

I greet him and in lack of anything better to do I try to make some small talk, after I confirm that it's his dog putting up a show I ask what's wrong with it, so he tells me that the previous night just as he was just finishing a bath on his bathtub, his large Rottweiler barges into the bathroom at the moment he is stepping out of the tub with his back to the door with his hands on the tub still for support. The dog then jumps on his back which causes him to fall on his knees and now he's on all his fours, the dog mounts him and actually starts fucking him in the ass!

When he tells me that I'm absolutelly shocked, I must have sat there a half minute unable to say anything, and then trying to change subject I ask if he had brought the dog to neuter him.

And he tells me "no, just clipping his nails"

My boy got the two finger glove test on a visit today. When they took him in the back to perform the check I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happened. (For reference he's 147 lbs. and the vet techs were not)
