Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2004My confession
hey everyone, I don't think I've really told everyone what I do besides being a student. I'm in school to be a Licensed Veterinary Technician. So, in a sense, I'm currently working with and going to school to help TED. :) hehehehehehe I currently work at the Agoura Animal Clinic in Agoura Hills, CA. We see lots of small animals, including exotics. I have TONS of stories to share, if people will please forgive me for being in cohorts with the evil vet. :) I'm not an expert, but I can definitely sympathize with everyone's trips to the vet. It's interesting for me since I'm a pet owner and I can see both sides from the owner and of the doctor/technician. So keep an eye out for my stories, like I said, I have a lot.

In all of my experiences with vets and techs, I respect techs in every case I've been involved in, even when I've had problems with the vets. I adore the techs at the vets office where mine go now; actually, I adore the vet there, too.

I have no problem with vets or techs - where I take Persia they just adore her and treat her like the little queen she knows she is. Funny, every vet I've ever had has looked like some sort of celebrity. When my dog Sampson was alive his vet looked like actress Geena Davis. Tall and willowy and with a mass of long red curls. Persia's first vet looked like actor Rob Lowe. He left that practice and the vet she sees now looks and talks just like Judge Larry Joe from one that court show. Hmmm.

Everywhere I go, I see someone who reminds me of someone else. Then there are times I see someone I think I know, but realize that person is long departed. >I'd love to read them!

In many cases, the tech can help you as much as the vet. Sherry > hey everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Kristi Congratulations on picking a wonderful career!

You are one of the evil ones! ;o) No but seriously, you have my admiration. As much as I love cats, I don't think I could do what you do, so kudos to you. I'm looking forward to your stories.

I guess the connection wouldn't have been obvious to anyone but me - chlorhexidine is a disinfectant solution I got from TED. I thought someone who works for a vet might have experience with stains from this stuff, but maybe Kristi's not as big a klutz as I am. :-D ------ Krista > Errmm, do you know how to get a blue chlorhexidine stain out of a > formerly white tennis shoe?

That's interesting, because chlorohexidine isn't supposed to stain. That's why it's used as opposed to bleach or Povidone (Iodine based) It comes in pink too. Hmmmmmmmmmm.... Can't exactly answer that immediately, but I will ask my supervisor about it. Was it an undiluted solution? Cause that stuff is pretty blue, and we normally dilute it. How blue is the stain? And how did it get on your counter and you're shoe? :) Kristi > > Errmm, do you know how to get a blue chlorhexidine stain out of a > > formerly white tennis shoe? And off my kitchen counter? (Bleach does [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Kristi The stain on my shoe is pretty blue - it was undiluted solution that dripped while I was pouring it. It was diluted when it got on my counter - what's there is a ring from setting down the little bowl it was in. But what was a blue ring is now a brown ring - apparently the stuff doesn't mix well with bleach. After seeing that, I haven't tried to get it out of my shoe yet, since I didn't know what to use. But it's hardly a big deal - please don't worry about finding this out; I'd just thought you might know. My old canvas tennis shoes can just have a blue spot forever after. ;-) I had it in my house because TED gave me a bottle of the stuff to soak my finger after Mikey bit clear through my nail at TED's office. It seems to have worked, too - no infection and the swelling and most of the soreness are gone! ------ Krista > I had it in my house because TED gave me a bottle of the stuff to soak > my finger after Mikey bit clear through my nail at TED's office. It > seems to have worked, too - no infection and the swelling and most of > the soreness are gone! Owwwwwwww!! My finger hurts just thinking about that. Chlorhex is good for cleaning tissue. We use it to prep the skin for surgeries. If its undiluted then yeah, good luck getting it out of your shoe. But the counter stain sucks, so I'll ask about that. :) Kristi Lots of purrs and best wishes for your poor finger, SignaturePolonca & Soncek <snip>> I had it in my house because TED gave me a bottle of the stuff to soak > my finger after Mikey bit clear through my nail at TED's office.

Annie Feel free to share! I especially love vet stories - used to work for one years ago. Loved the job, but the pay was not paying the bills. But I was only a receptionist, no training (other than human - medical assistant). But the experiences I'll never forget - do you see exotics or just stick w/house pets? I can tell you about Lucy Goosy, the peacock - snakes, another vet had a pet mountain lion. Saw some interesting things. So please, share the stories!! > hey everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Kristi |
