What it’s like to be a vet tech in 14 tweets
It's a job like no other
1) 5-hour shift? 8-hour shift? Same difference.
My 5 hour shift turned into an 8 hr shift in the blink of an eye, that’s how Veterinary Emergency medicine works. #exhausted #vettechlife

4) Just say “you should see the other guy.”
Between the scratch on my arm and the bruises on my leg, you’d think I got in a fight or something. #oops #vettechlife

11) Clients are weird.
Me: “Had he had any vomiting or diarrhea?”
Client: “No. He likes wheat thins though.”
