Happy Vet Tech Week !!! To the techs and nurses who make my feed smarter and funnier!

Favorite VetMed creators, specialty edition. Sharing practical advice I use every day in general practice. That’s the whole criteria.

Practical, specific, and I’m better at my job for following them. So you should too! 😊

The tools that actually made me better clinically, none of which are AI 😊

Consistency builds confidence. Paired with a discharge discussion from the veterinary nurse, these templates mean every patient goes home with their own dental information, every time. Add the dental chart and photos and you’ve told that client exactly what happened in their pet’s mouth, not just that a procedure happened. That’s what sets them up for success now and long term.

Disease summaries, client handouts, and specialist consultants you can actually reach. The message boards get the attention, but the reference library is what I’m in most days, and it’s all searchable by species and condition.

Covers what’s normal tonight and what isn’t, which is the call you’re trying to prevent at 11pm. Everything your client needs to know for monitoring post op anesthesia in your patient + additional templates for incisions or bandages.

Doses I could recite, double checked anyway. The interaction checker catches things I wasn’t thinking about, and the client drug handouts cover the side effect conversation in writing, which if you’re in New York is also your Buoy’s law compliance.

Diabetes appointments are complicated. Not just for us, but for the clients too. This helps make sure they leave with the important take homes including dose changes, monitoring, and when to follow up.

Peer-reviewed, practical, and short enough to finish between appointments.

It’s a ruff life.

Daydreaming about being on The Veterinary Roundtable game show after their live podcast recording at WVC Nashville!

You know the appointment. Everything medically right, and they still walked out unhappy.

That gap has a name and a definition. Clinical empathy is understanding what someone is going through, showing them you understand, and meaning to help. It’s been measured in clinicians since 2001, which surprises people, because most of us got handed the word and never the parts.

Three parts, and they come apart. That’s the piece worth sitting with. You can be genuinely good at reading a room and still never say the sentence that tells the person in front of you that you read it. Most of us do the first part silently and then go straight to the plan. What the client hears is a competent doctor talking about doses. They don’t hear the middle one, because the middle one only counts out loud.

Saying it out loud doesn’t rescue a hard room. Plenty of rooms are hard for reasons that have nothing to do with you, and no sentence is going to fix a family that isn’t ready or a diagnosis that isn’t fair. What it does is give you something specific to reach for on the days when “care more” is useless advice, because you are already caring as hard as you can.

Less than two weeks out from WVC Nashville and I’m doing the thing I always do, picking a few booths before I get in.

Here’s one of mine. Roo.vet is at booth #1337, Aug 16–18 at Music City Center.

If you’re a vet or a tech who’s been quietly curious about what relief actually looks like day to day, come have a chat!

I’ll be at the booth Monday 8/17 around 10am if you want to find me.
