Vet Med Music Videos: They’re a thing.

by

We’re currently celebrating #HappinessWeek on all the Dr. Andy Roark sites. Our team was in need of a smile or two, and figured you could use some as well! Today, we’re sharing some of our favorite music videos that have come out of the Vet Med community. Yes, this is a thing, and we’re here for it.

Who knew heartworm prevention could be so…FUN?

Written, directed, and even performed by Brynn of Brynn Zittle Cinema, this video might actually make you wish heartworm prevention came in human form.

The (vet student) struggle is real.

This is one of our favorites from Trusten of DrMoore.StudentVet. I mean, who HASN’T been up at 2am the night before a test stress-eating cheez-its to Adele?

If you’ve never worn an e-collar in a field and sang about it, well…then you’re not in this music video.

Kelsey Beth Carpenter brings us an ode to all the non-compliant post-surgical pet owners out there. Are we allowed to embed this video into all discharge instructions? Asking for a friend.

We hope these made you laugh, smile, smirk, or whatever it is you do when you’re entertained. Check out more fantastic content from these Vet Med creators in the links above!

More Elves on Vet Clinic Shelves!

by

It’s an epidemic no one’s talking about. But it’s time to expose the reality of what Vet Clinics across the continent are experiencing. We’re beginning to suspect the infiltration of Veterinary Hospitals is only Phase 3 in their plan to take over the world. Some have even begun to acclimate by posing as employees! Below, we expose more of the elves caught on Vet Clinic shelves!

It seems cats aren’t all that fond of Elves on Shelves. We’re not entirely sure why…

Even elves – or Elvis peppermintus familiaris – need dental care, too. Especially with their well-balanced diet of sugar and more sugar.

A prime example of an Elf trying to “blend in” and “look helpful”. Really he was prank calling pizza stores and giving them the name “Pepe Roni”.

Something looks suspicious in this elf’s belly. May want to refer to a specialist for this one.

Again, don’t be fooled. This elf appears to be doing something productive. Really, he lost a mini marshmallow and is determined to find it.

We highly recommend using a rabies pole when capturing elves. They are unpredictable and fear free handling has not proven successful.

Even elves get neutered if they hang around the hospital too long. Let that be a warning to the rest of you!

Typical. Owner drops a pet off with a special diet but doesn’t provide it! Ugh!

Like we said, cats and elves just don’t seem to mix. Sissy, the clinic cat, has made her demands clear.

Never seen that kind of urinary crystal before…?

QUIZ: If You Were a Dog, What Would You Eat?

by

Every day 3 trillion dogs (estimation) are hospitalized for the ingestion of different toxins. Sometimes it’s food items, like chocolate, which we can’t really blame them for (hashtag SAME). Other times it’s assorted objects, like diapers and rocks, which maybe aren’t quite as relatable. Depending on what your dog eats, it could warrant anything from a disappointed glare all the way to an extended ICU stay! So, let’s get down off our human high-horses and really think about this for a second: If you were a dog, what would YOU eat?

Sit down, put your feet up, and take this quiz to figure out which acute medical diagnosis best describes the kind of day you’ve had today! And then come back tomorrow and try it again. You know…if you’re not too busy with the ice cream…

The wave of back-to-school pics have hit, and you thought you were safe. HOLD IT RIGHT THERE. “Summer” might be coming to an end, but those summer emergencies aren’t going anywhere soon.

If you work in Vet Med, you know summer tends to be one of the busiest seasons of the year. Why? Because when you combine heat, outdoor activities, and water sports, you can end up with all types of trouble. So today, we’re asking an important question:

Which summer emergency best describes you?
