The #VA, serving some of America’s most vulnerable citizens, is set to lose 83K WKRs.

Morale is plummeting inside the VA as 10s of 1000s of WKRs prepare for deep staffing cuts, raising alarms among staffers, vets & advocates *fear the reductions would severely damage care & benefits for Ms of the US' former service members.

Ugly, ugly stuff. They're collapsing the Department of Veterans Affairs and the largest integrated healthcare system in America.

Such a delight this TV series. We highly recommend it. It's all about animals and it's absolutely marvelous! #vets #cats #dogs #cows #horses #sheep #animals #JamesHerriot #tv #pope

Arc Academy wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped defeat fascism and protect democracy. I had three grandfathers who fought in World War II—one of whom did not make it home. I am deeply grateful for their courage and sacrifice.

Well, well, well, finally the Competition & Markets Authority has woken up to the conduct in the veterinary market, looking at overcharging & upselling to distressed pet owners as potential issue around market manipulation & a lack of transparency on fees.

I've said before that the veterinary market looks a lot like one model for how a privatised health services mind end up, and the domination of big chains with performance (sales) targets is just the tip of the iceberg.

ā€œIn 2013, only 10% of vet practices in the UK were owned by large corporate groups. Now that figure stands at 60%. Bills for pet owners have risen as corporate ownership has increased - by more than 60% between 2015 and 2023, figures from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) show. This is almost double the rate of inflation or the increase in vet salaries over that time.ā€ For ā€˜large corporate groups’ read rip off merchants. #Vets #Capitalism

Cefofecin, ist das ein Reserveantibiotikum? Ich wohne in unmittelbarer Umgebung einer Tierklinik, vorteilhaft mit niereninsuffizienter Katze, die häufig Zystidis hat und das natürlich meistens am Wochenende. In der Klinik bekommt sie immer Amoxiklav, das sie aber in oraler Gabe nicht verträgt. Wir müssen dann alle 2 Tage zur Injektion für 10 Tage. Meine Haustierärztin gibt ein 2-Wochen-Depot Cefofecin, was natürlich deutlich angenehmer (und günstiger) ist. Ist das von der
