equine vet things

sans–seraph:

getyourveton:

– that sharp little head lift that’s either a standalone “i don’t like what you’re doing” or a forewarning for absolute and utter carnage

– steel toe boots

– young horses that have never been handled before that need extensive handling at the clinic 🙂

– moody mares, chestnut mare, beware is also totally A Real Thing

– when the headcollar is about 10 times too big and you have to lead the stallion on that special, specific head collar

– arm deep in bowels during colic surgery

– explaining nosebleeds to owners

– trying to get that fine line between too tight and too loose bandaging

– there is no way you get an IV catheter without getting some part of you covered in blood

Everyone I’ve ever known would have a conniption about steel toe boots around horses. Why is vet med different? (No, for reals. I kinda wanna go into equine work…) 

to be fair, as a vet tech they freaked out about ti too.

Its uh… its not gonna chop toes off so idk why everyone still thinks it will.
