[quote=Anonymous]Vet of 17 years here. Emergency clinics would be less slammed if people could keep their puppies out of their medicine and inappropriate foods. Also pick your socks and underwear off the floor and get a heavy trash can with a lid. Don't leave sanitary products in the bathroom trashcan. Foreign body surgeries take a long time.

Basically, lots of stuff seen in the ER is preventable. Spread the word.

There isn't a shortage of vets per se there is an extremely high demand for services. It goes beyond just the Covid puppies. (Loads of them are getting returned to the shelters now anyway.)  People are just very keen right now on treating their pets. I guess they were just ignoring things before and hoping for the best IDK.

As far as if they will be able to staff up soon-- not sure if that's going to happen. The word is getting out of how stressful the profession is. And the demanding, entitled, unappreciative clients are getting more common and vocal. And the pay isn't going up proportionately while vet school tuition is. (Yes yes I know if I really loved animals I would do it for free blah blah blah)[/quote]
