    I want to thank you so much for this video!! I came across it because I really struggled calculating take home medications. I just graduated from my vet tech program and now i'm studying for my VTNE in august. I wanted to find a video that can calmy explain drug calculations. I'm so glad yours was the first pick. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content! as another POC in the veterinary field, THANK YOU!!

    Thank you! Gosh I have been a vet tech ( not licensed) for over 20 years on and off. I took a 8 year break and literally forgot how to calculate drugs! When I went back into the field I have so much experience, but all these younger girls with ego, RVTS , just prayed on me. Because I could not calculate drugs I was not allowed to intubate, place IV, just all the things I am good at and love about the job. They stripped me of my confidence… so thank you for your video, yes of course this makes sense. Mg/kg easy, liquids, iv sedation I just completely forgot. And the funny part is is not only will the techs not be kind and help you, but neither will the vets! So thank you!

    Thank you for this Video! My wife currently finishing up Pharm class for for Associates for Vet Tech, and she wants to go back to become a Vet because all the vet's she's worked with said that should become one. I'm better at math than she is, so I was trying to find a video to explain it to me, because I'm not in class with her to see what she's learning, but Math comes relatively easy for me, so just having some who could explain it like yourself has been a huge help and I'll send her this video and I can help her fulfill her dreams. I have been supporting her in every aspect of her dreams to become a Veterinarian. Thank you so much for this!

    As a CVT for a loooong time, I really appreciate this! I've worked mostly in clinics where the doctors did all of the calculations and it's been ages since I've had to do it myself, and now that I'm at a new clinic the CVT's are responsible for a lot of them and WHEW....I needed a refresher. Thank you!
