Sjoe, respect! I was shocked to hear this statistic. I'm sure this made a difference in some vets life and also created awareness in the eyes of your clients. Great video

Hey Dee. Nice to see you on this channel as well :). Jah it is quite a sad statistic and something that is not talked about nearly enough.

[@DanTheVeterinarian]

Hey Dogtor Pete! Thanks for the video! The first couple years being a veterinarian are pretty crazy.

Its currently Christmas here in New Zealand and most vets are closed. Last night my dog had a seizure for the first time while he was sleeping. He's only 7 years old. Now he is a chihuahua but has never had issues before. He's rather healthy. He ended up having two more later in the night, with none lasted even a minute. I just need some advice, hes drinking water and eating a bit, seeming to not be having too many issues other than hes a little confused still. Its really hard at the moment because I just got released from the hospital myself and this happened on my first night back. Could you give me some advice how to help him during it? I watched your other videos and Id appreciate the help. Either way thank you for making your videos they've helped me understand more about how to help my little buddy.
