At 7:10 a.m. in Exam Room 3, our scarlet macaw yoinked my Littmann mid-auscultation and took a victory lap while I tried to keep his stress low and still count respirations. What’s your go-to for species-specific tool security — target sticks for psittacines, towel tuck for tegus, scent decoys for ferrets — so a simple gram-scale weigh-in doesn’t turn into a heist?
I once joked that working from home as a vet tech is a bit like being a cat herder, minus the cats. I found that setting clear boundaries really helped me focus — turning off notifications during work hours made a huge difference. Anyone else tried that?

, I totally relate! I remember missing out on an amazing remote vet tech position because I hesitated for just a day. Setting up job alerts is a lifesaver, but don’t forget to check regularly too — some positions disappear so fast! @Guide, I think having a solid resume ready to go helps too; you can apply way quicker that way.
