- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I was taking care of a diabetic cat that didn't look very well when the owner left. The cat was not eating well and you really shouldn't give insulin to a cat that is not eating. I couldn't give it its insulin a few times since it didn't eat. I finally went to the vet to get some A/D, which is a very rich in nutrient type of can food that a vet would feed to a very sick animal or one that was not eating. THis type of food is great but its something you use when all else fails and you are somewaht at the end of the line of resources to use. I couldn't get hold of the women that owned the cat to explain the problem that I was having. Since I get a lot of phone numbers from people before they leave, I happened to get a hold of her Father, who agreed to pay for blood work for the cat. We found out it was way off of the amount of insulin it was getting and started it on the right dose, the cat started eating and was much fatter and healthier by the time the women returned. She and her dad were so thankful and it was very rewarding to have helped that situation.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
That with so much experience in the veterinarian business, I have a lot of knowledge about what can be done in certain situations, such as an animal that starts drinking and urinating a lot. How to care for older pets and make their life easier. What to do when your vet can't find the solution to a problem. One big fact that a lot of people don't know is the worst thing you can do to a pet is board them at a veterinarian clinic!
