I can always tell how my empathy/emotional exhaustion is doing based on whether I cry at things like this. The story of grizzly #399 has made me TEARY today.
Today our community mourns the loss of wildlife icon, the Queen of the Tetons, grizzly #399. In the winter of 2021/2022 we exhibited "While They’re Sleeping: A Story of Bears" with compelling images from wildlife photographer and conservationist Thomas G. Mangelsen.

Please stop throwing antibiotics & antihelminthics at your horses all willy nilly. Things are becoming resistant to the things we have faster than we’re able to find new ones and that’s a big reason why.

The dogs went as mascots for a work event today, and both did FANTASTIC. But man, are they wiped!

I must be using my stethoscope wrong - is that what they’re teaching at the vet school these days?

Why does your indoor cat need a rabies vaccine? Why do I vaccinate pet goats and pigs for rabies too? Because like kids, they may not show signs they were bitten. And can expose humans as well! Rabies is not worth the risk.
Sadly, a child in Ontario, Canada who woke up with a bat in their room has died of rabies. The child's parents saw no signs of scratches or bites and believed the child did not need rabies prophylaxis. 1/2 cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/…

It’s interesting - as stressed out as I was leading up to the wedding, as soon as our first guest arrived, I CHILLED. Groomsman dropped out? Fine. Big ole cold sore? Fine. Anxious extended family? Not my deal! Let’s GOOOOO

Three weeks ago, in my pre-wedding panic, I tore up our front porch. I called it nesting, and everyone thought I was crazy. Today, I finished putting it back together. I’m still a little crazy, I’ll admit, but I got it done!

Wedding stuff is finalized. Nothing is unhandled. Why am I so stressed?

I’ve had a headache for like 3 weeks now. Phone has entered do not disturb mode now. I will see things when I see them. Hope everything happens!

If you ask me, I’ll tell you I’m not stressed out about my wedding in two weeks. That said, my phone has been on do not disturb for 72 hours and my GI system would tell you something is not quite right.

See, I know this can’t be real because that cat would have SHREDDED the tattooist - that’s an insecure hold without any pain control in a cat with honestly sensitive skin. Ain’t no way. Someone would have been bit.

I have the coolest job in the world - how mind blowing is it that vets can anesthetize BEES?!
HONEYBEE ANESTHESIA. In a collaborative research project between #NCStateVetMed & @NaturalSciences, experts in anesthesia, insects & bee-keeping came together to test novel ways of anesthetizing bees - a huge leap for honeybee medicine & #OneHealth. MORE: go.ncsu.edu/bee-med
