When will people stop asking, "What's the worst thing you've ever seen?" Whether or not the vet (doctor, nurse, firefighter...) answers your question or not, you've just made them re-live a traumatic experience. I'm sorry you get that question too, Doc.
We have Trupanion and, on the whole, we've been very happy with them. The one fly in the ointment was one of our little dogs had a congenital cataract (our "regular" vet found it when he was only 10 weeks old) and Trupanion wouldn't pay any of our bills associated with that. Otherwise, they've been great. As four our little cataract boy, the veterinary ophthalmologist also identified that he had a detached retina. He was not a candidate for retinal reattachment (since no one knows how long it had been detached), and thus, not a candidate for cataract surgery. So he gets drops in his right eye twice daily to prevent pressure from building up, and, yes, he is blind in that eye (which slows him down not one iota).
Your first dog was gorgeous! Love black and white mixes:) Sorry for what you had to see, within the "worst"- I cannot fantom how one can handle those situations. Happy for you having an indeed gorgeous woman on your side, and are those puppies within the family since day one of the marriage?:) Cheers, and thank you foe letting us know a bit more about yourself. And probs for Tom, for being so patient with your not remembering things in rwal life as well;)😂
I would love to have pet insurance, but since all my pets come inside to live with me because of illness or injuries sustained outside, it's pretty unlikely the insurance companies are going to line up to cover them. Pretty much the first thing I have to do is spend a ton of money on them to keep them among the living. But good for anyone that can get it!
I Got cat insurance for my cat as soon i adopted her as a kitten bc i know how good it Can be. I hope you Can atleast get alittle bit for them so its not a huge toll on your finacials
@@Moon_x_sun Probably not going to happen, but that's nice of you. I've managed so far. I hope your cat lives a long, healthy life and you never need to make a huge claim.
My first cat, Seishiro (affectionately dubbed Lemon Cat by one of his vets) had multiple health problems through out his life. When he passed PetSecure showed me a statement that they had paid me over $13,000 in coverage. The only issue I have with them is that they list spay and neutering as elective surgery and will not cover any complications resulting from it.
Thank you! I'm sure you are awesome in person! You sure are on here! Love ya! (Not the kind of love your wife has to worry about. That's all on her! Love ya!)
We went with Pumpkin because that was recommended by our kitten's vet. It probably varies from one vet's office to the next. I love that someone named that cat Biscotti. Too cute.
Thank you for taking the time to answer questions. I enjoy your channel and hope you keep posting. As an aside, you have gorgeous eyebrows! You probably could care less about them, while I am obsessed with eyebrows in general. Of course, mine are wimpy and sparse, ugh. Thanks for helping our furry loved ones.
Okay I have another one for you, how do you make time for your mental health while juggling being a vet? I'm sure it can be really hard to see some of these pets not getting treated properly, dying, and people bringing in their pets to be euthanized for no good reason.
As a veterinary professional, (ER and general practice technician), you actually learn pretty early on to compartmentalize your feelings in dealing with trauma. We do all get cases that hit us hard at times, but working in the field you need (for your own mental health), learn compassion with professional distance from it. You break down real quick if you let your emotions get involved. We also lean on each other, have solid doses of dark humor, occasional breakdowns, and find the enjoyment of the healthy animals we see and celebrate the happiness when an animal gets to go home with their family.
Interesting. You're different with regards to my first cat's vet (had her until she passed from kidney failure). I'd say I last saw him about 10 years ago before we moved. One of his favorite aspects of veterinary medicine was "cash, check or charge". Not sure if he did or didn't accept veterinary insurance.
Thank you for the warning on the last question. I did stop the video for myself. I have an extreme empathetic response to information about harm to furbabies or scalebabies (though I do have ophidiophobia) which exacerbates both my anxiety and depression.
Could you do a follow-up video on the syncope events? I have a senior maltese (roughly 14-16 years old) who seems to be steadily progressing in what sounds like it could be this symptom. Her blood work and annual visit were fine in March. She just started having these episodes out of the blue about 3 weeks ago. It started with what I thought was the heat triggering it. As long as she didn't go outside until the sun was going down, she was fine. Then, this past weekend, it started happening inside at 66 degrees. Then she had another episode tonight accompanied with what could be comprable to sounding like an asthma attack and an off balance gait. As soon as I pick her up and soothe her for about a minute, she snaps out of it. I'd just like more information about it, not advice. I'm monitoring her very closely and trying to document what I can until I get her to her vet. At her age, I'm sure there isn't a lot that can be done other than keeping her comfortable. Also, could this symptom be associated with heart failure or a brain tumor?
(Spoilers ahead if you are too sensitive for question 7, then don't read this comment) May I ask, why that snowplow related situation happened? I mean why bring a dead animal to a vet? Should be clear that the dog wouldn't survive such horrible injuries even after surgeries and cpr and stuff...
@@lisap2405 people will bring deceased animals to veterinary clinics to deal with the remains (I.e. cremation). That dog in particular was brought in by someone who did not own the pet, they found it. They brought it in to see if we could scan the microchip and find the owner to let them know, which we did.

my answer is always "I don't really want to talk about that one, and you probably don't really want to know"
Yeah. Don't ask military people that question either. Best to ask for their funniest or most memorable experiences.
Can confirm, thanks for pointing this out.
Yeah, don’t ask people about trauma or their sex lives
Probably best that the snowplow one didn’t suffer

I use Pumpkin for my cats because one of my cats is 15 and Trupanion wouldn't take him

I can't get over how cute that puppy was your wife was holding! Such a little doll!
Perfect answers!
5/7, perfect score.

As someone who knows about human health insurance, it’s a really nice thing to go with the insurance the provider really likes.
