Dear Friend,

If you want your ferret to be happy and safe and live double the average ferret lifespan —

If you don’t have a clue what to do to when your ferret bites people or goes to the bathroom outside the litter box (even though they’re supposed to be trained) —

If you’d like your ferret to be overjoyed and greet you when you get home from work —

— then this could be the most exciting letter you’ll ever read about ferrets. Here’s why…

My Amazingly Simple, Step-By-Step Ferret Manual Is Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen

Learn everything you need to know to have a long life with a well-behaved ferret who’s pleasant to be around and feels affection toward you.

You see, I’ve been a small animal trainer and breeder for a few decades now, and the techniques I’ve developed have become something of a legend among ferret fanciers.

And recently I finished packaging up my secrets into a guide I call Find Out About Ferrets: The Complete Guide To Turning Your Ferret Into The Happiest, Best-Behaved, and Healthiest Pet In The World!

I wrote it in plain, conversational English that’s easy to follow — even if you’ve never owned a ferret before and don’t know the first thing about them (other than you might want one).

As a complete system, this guide will reveal to you everything you want to know about ferrets. That’s why…

You’ll Discover Secrets In My Guide That Will Change Your Ferret In A Big, Big Way

Lizzie, a recent client, called me in tears. After only 2 short months, she was about to take Janie, her adorable albino ferret, back to the shelter. Her call to me was a last resort (as they always are in my small animal consulting practice).

At first Lizzie had a great life with Janie but by the end she was afraid all those horrible things she’d heard about ferrets were coming true.

You see, Janie made her apartment stink–not only did Janie himself smell worse than a skunk, but it seemed like she pooped everywhere except her litter box.

On top of that, she would always chase people’s feet, trying to nip them. Lizzie’s friends stopped coming to visit for fear of being attacked!

But the final straw came when Janie chewed through an electrical cord. “I feel like a bad ferret mom,” Janie told me, “and I’m ready to give up.”

Do These “Downsides” Of Owning A Ferret Sound Familiar?

If you’re like many ferret owners, you’re looking for (immediate) answers that are hard to find since most of the complete pet care guides deal only with dogs or cats.

Maybe you too are frustrated by a ferret who smells bad, poops and pees all over the place, and gets aggressive and bites you and your houseguests…

Or you don’t know the health problems you should be aware of, or what to do in an emergency…

Or you’re not sure if you’re feeding him the right foods, how to “ferret-proof” your house, or whether you’re giving him a good life in his cage…

You are not alone.

So I told Lizzie my guide would her teach everything she wanted to know about making her ferret into the perfect companion for life.

She said she was skeptical, because she’d already done a lot of Internet research and found conflicting information and lots of sites that didn’t answer her questions.

So I Told Her To Pick Just One Secret From My Guide And See What Happens.

Lizzie figured she had nothing to lose so she zoomed to page 35. It revealed the number one reason ferrets smell and how you can fix it in five minutes flat (and no, it has nothing to do with “descenting” surgery or giving your ferret a bath).

She didn’t think it could be that easy, but before she knew it the lingering odor in the apartment was gone!

Her husband Rudy was so thrilled he turned right to chapter 11 on training your ferret and teaching him manners. There he discovered the 7 silent techniques that “magnetically” make your ferret want to obey your every command. (Page 91)

Frankly these techniques didn’t work overnight… they took a day and a half.

Since then, Janie’s stopped nipping (which was a huge relief for their toes!) — thanks to their discovery of how to prevent your ferret from biting you using these guaranteed methods proven to work. (Page 104)

And they’ve never had a problem ever again.

These days their friends have no trouble visiting us. And Lizzie and Rudy enjoy how nice Janie is… and you should see how impressed they are when we have Janie do the neat tricks they learned in my guide.

I’ll show you how it can be so easy to care for ferrets in a minute, but first…

The Secrets Of Having A Cuddly, Playful, Well-Behaved And Long-Lived Ferret… Without Having To Spend A Lot Of Cash… And Without Having To Do Much Work!

Rather than having to go through a struggle or have to hire a high-priced consultant, you can simply read what’s in my guide and immediately discover all the advanced secrets contained within…

Some people call it the lazy person’s way to easy ferret care. It’ll save you so much time and worry (not to mention money) that you can start enjoying your ferret right away with zero worries.

Here’s a quick look at just a few of the valuable techniques I’ll share with you:

End poop problems for good. Did you know you accidentally kill the instinct your ferret naturally feels for using the litter box? (99% of ferret parents do it — here’s how to reverse it in under 7 seconds flat). (Page 101.)

How to make sure your ferret will never nip you again. I’ve developed a breakthrough anti-nip technology called TED — and it’s so simple and fun, even your child could do it. (Page 103)

The 7 secrets to making the relationship between your child and ferret a good one. (Page 62)

The “magic trick” of bonding you can start using with your ferret as soon as today that will make your ferret “cuddlier than a teddy bear!” (Page 100)

Did 2 pet ferrets all of a sudden become 13? You’ll discover everything you need to know about breeding ferrets. I lead you step by step through everything from mating… to caring for the pregnant jill (female ferret)… to caring for the kits (babies)… to placing the kits in loving homes once they’re ready. (Chapter 13)

Plus… Learn Exactly What To Feed Your Ferret So He’ll Double His Lifespan.

There’s a powerful new diet developed by biologists that can take the average ferret lifespan of 7 years and increase it to 12 to 15 years.

The best part is that this miraculous diet uses food you can get from your local grocery store. (Page 66.)

Look, it’s very important that you feed your ferret the right foods. This subject can be frustrating (it certainly is for everyone who comes to me), because everyone gives conflicting advice. But your fuzzy’s diet is colossally important — feed your ferret the wrong thing and he can become obese… or even get cancer.

That’s why I provide a complete Ferret Cuisine Guide (see Chapter 7) that will reveal everything you need to know — and then tells you what exactly to do. It’s like having your own ferret expert right there at your beck and call.

You’ll learn about FFAT, which will solve all your diet questions. What is FFAT? It is the 4 unbreakable rules of what you must look for in food labels. You’ll find out what I’m talking about on page 64.

No matter what you want to know about your furball’s diet, you’ll get expert help with:

Which foods to avoid because your ferret can’t digest them. (Page 64)

Whether a high quality kitten food is truly OK for your fuzzball. (Page 65)

Which foods to avoid because your ferret can’t digest them. (Page 64)

The truth about ferret supplements and hairball remedies. (Page 72)

Treats your ferret likes… and that are good for him. (Page 69)

Is it okay to feed your little guy fruit or not? You’ll find out the truth. (Page 70)

That’s Just The Beginning. You’ll Also Discover…

Whether it’s true that ferrets are better off not kept in cages. (Page 47)

An 8-point checklist that will tip you off about whether a ferret breeder is humane and cares about raising healthy ferrets or a crook who’s just in it for the money. (This subject is highly controversial and is definitely not for everyone. Please do not get my guide if you’re offended by some truly raw straight talk about your fellow human beings.) (Page 38)

The 7 crucial rules to rate a ferret’s health before taking him home. Get any of these wrong and it can cause you a ton of heartache… and high vet bills… later on. (Page 29)

How to stop your ferret from using the bathroom in his food bowl ever again.

Which reminds me…

Did You Know There’s An Easy Way To Reduce The Amount Of Cleaning Around The Litter Box And Food Dish By 70% To 80%?

Ferrets can be party animals who love to fling around food and litter like they’re confetti. So you don’t have to be a math whiz to know that keeping the mess to a minimum means you do much less work!

I’ll give you the step by step instructions… as well as showing you places you can get the items you need easily and cheaply (and no, it’s not from the local pet store)… on page 45.

You know, after all that Lizzie and Rudy learned, I teased Rudy that he used to not even like ferrets. But today he and Janie are like soul mates.

And she’s so clean now.

When Janie has to go potty, she goes in the litter box every time. Lizzie and Rudy used to have to clean up a mess every day no matter what they tried, but now that’s in the past.

I’ll Also Let You In On Secrets Like…

My 3-step socialization technology that allows you to introduce your ferret to dogs and cats. (Page 59)

True or false: the cage you have now is too small. (How much space does a ferret really need not only for survival… but to be happy?) (Page 46)

A 1-minute chore most ferret owners neglect, causing their ferret to swallow harmful bacteria. (Page 70)

If your fuzzy has been using his litter box consistently for awhile but then suddenly stops, here’s what to do. (Page 102)

Regular bathing as long as it’s done correctly can reduce the odor by over 90%. Check out page 76 for my simple 8-step bathing system.

Two foolproof fixes to keep food messes to a minimum. Your job will be much easier when your ferret no longer tips over his bowl. (Page 71)

How to take your ferret for a walk without him escaping. (Page 53)

6-step checklist of things you can do before purchasing your ferret from a pet store to ensure you’re buying a well-socialized pet that’s not mistreated. (Page 36)

3 little but powerful actions you can do daily which prevent tremendous odor problems later. (Page 81)

Can a ferret live outside? (Page 46)

The best kind of cage you can make (or buy) for the ferret who’s good at escaping. (Page 47)

A 7-point checklist to make sure the ferret you’re getting doesn’t have hidden medical problems that will cause you agony later on. (Page 29)

Here’s an inexpensive source of ferrets I guarantee you haven’t thought of. You can even get a free cage, bowls, litter box and toys this way. (Page 39)

The 5 questions you must ask when picking out a cage. Get any of these wrong and your ferret will be too crammed in with not enough space… or bored with not enough to do… or even strangle himself. (Page 46)

The potential life threatening illnesses you must be aware of… in order to prevent. (Chapter 11)

How to ferret proof your house using these 9 success strategies, so that you’ll keep your little guy stay safe as he explores. Of course ferrets don’t live forever, but there’s nothing sadder than hearing your kids cry as you bury their ferret who chewed through wires and got electrocuted — and it was all your fault. I will show you how to prevent this from happening. (Page 51)

Where never to put your fuzzy’s cage. (Page 45)

What to do if your ferret starts to sneeze. (Page 119)

How to introduce ferrets to each other… without them harming or killing each other. (Page 55)

How to maintain harmony between your ferret and other small pets like cats, gerbils, pet rats, and hamsters. (Page 58)

What questions you need to ask your vet to find out if they can care for your ferret. (Page 108)

Don’t Just Take My Word For It… Look At What Other Readers Have Said…

“I owe my ferret Furball’s life and my eternal gratitude to Colin Patterson for his Find Out About Ferrets guide. When Furball stopped eating for a week and became listless, I became hysterical as he kept losing weight. I cried over what could possibly be wrong with my little guy as he seemed to be slowly dying.

Then I came across Colin’s guide during a web search, got it instantly and began poring through it to see if I could find out what was wrong.

It turns out that Furball’s symptoms indicated he’d swallowed something he shouldn’t have. Intestinal blockages are common for ferrets, since they have a bad habit of putting everything they can into their mouths, and Fuzzball loves to tear apart my socks and EAT them. The solution according to Colin is a type of laxative for ferrets. A visit to the vet confirmed that Colin was right. Now Furball is completely well again, and I feel so much better!

Needless to say, I feel Find Out About Ferrets is a must read for all ferret owners.”

– Addie Van Zwoll Kalamazoo, Michigan

“Hi Colin,

As a confused first-time ferret mama, your instructions were brand new to me, so I learned a lot. Now Slinky has stopped biting me. If it were not for your help, this ferret would have been back to the shelter.”

– Lisa Molyneux Montgomery, Alabama

“Colin,

I found your book full of terrific information that was helpful for me as a new ferret owner. Your book was comprehensive, well written and organized for easy reading. I’m a big animal lover and know quite a bit about many animals, however your book would be valuable for a first time ferret owner or someone who already has a ferret amd is looking for additional information on their care and behavior. Thanks for writing the book!”

– Gwen Edmunds Albuquerque, NM

How Much?

Well, let’s start with this: how much would you pay to have a joyful and wonderful life with your (soon-to-be) well-behaved ferret?

How much would it be worth to you to make his life as good as it can be because you’ll know how to take care of him?

How much would it be worth to be able to extend the lifespan of your ferret by 5 years or more, since you’ll know what to feed him, what to do in an emergency, and how to keep him safe in your house?

Well?

If you’re like most ferret lovers, the answer is probably “a lot.”

Would it be worth $500 to know that overnight you can have your ferret stop all nipping and biting… no longer smelling bad or pooping outside the litter box… living in the most comfortable ferret house… and eating the healthiest, most delicious diet possible… to live as long as they can?

Of course you know that I’m about to tell you it doesn’t cost $500. That’s not what I’m asking you.

I’m asking you: if I could show you how to have a ferret that’s happy, healthy, well-behaved, and gives you tons of affection… would that be worth $500?

You and I are ferret lovers; we both know the answer is, “OF COURSE!”

So when I tell you that I’m only going to charge you a modest investment of just $27 for my guide — and that you can be reading it 2 minutes from right now (even if it’s 1 AM!) — you’re going to just go ahead and order, right?

I know when you get my ferret guide, you’ll be just as happy as the customers above who wrote me. If not, I want you to ask me for your money back.

That’s right…

I am keeping the price below the optimal price point, as a temporary marketing test.

Once this special trial period is over, the offer of this groundbreaking material at such a low price will simply vanish. I’m sure you can understand.

20 Questions with Dr Ferox #9

Here we go again vetlings. It’s been a busy week.

Anonymous asked: Do you have a list of breeds that have been asked of you but you have not yet replied to? It might be useful because tumblr eats things

No I don’t have a published list of unanswered breed requests. It would be a pain to keep up to date, and there are 27 breeds waiting at the moment so I’m not desperate to expand that list.

I haven’t made a list of breeds that I have answered either, for much the same reason.

@ridragon asked: can people get cherry eye or is it just a dog and cat thing?

Humans can prolapse their tear glands, though it doesn’t seem to be all that common.

Anonymous said: I noticed you talked about what could cause a cat to be fat but you didn't mention them getting fatter after being fixed? Our vet told us it was just hormones when she sorta "blew up" (got really fat) after we got her fixed and she's still fat to this day (its been like 6 years) she's not obese though.

‘Being desexed’ on its own doesn’t cause weight gain. It does reduce the resting energy requirements of a dog or cat by approximately 10%, so if an animal is gaining weight after desexing it is because they are continuing to be fed too much.

As many animals are desexed around 6 months of age when their growth slows down, many people simply don’t adjust the way they feed their pets and choose to blame surgery instead. I can assure you remaining entire doesn’t protect pets form obesity.

@amber-cara asked: do you have the same problems with tick-borne diseases as the US does? Like Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Tularemia, etc

They are not something I worry about, and have to look these diseases up every time they’re discussed, because they’re just not relevant to me in practice. There a few tick borne diseases up north, but that’s a continent away from me. It’s the paralysis I have to worry about down here.

Anonymous said: hey! so my family has a cat we got as a rescue, a sort of... strangely shaped kitten too young to be away from its mother. two years later i'm awake at 4:30am and stumbled across your blog, so i came to ask about him. basically he's got what i believe our vet said was a detached sternum? sometimes when you pick him up you can feel a little nub of bone sticking out. i'm wondering if you know anything about this & the health impacts it might have on him?

I’m not clear exactly what you mean by a detached sternum. If you mean a prominent xyphoid process then it’s unlikely to impact their life. However there are other conditions which reduce the volume of the thorax (flat chested kittens, pectus excavatum) that will severely impact their life.

Anonymous asked: Hi, love your blog! Is it common in older cats (10+ years) to lose their fur? I can't tell if my cat is tearing her own fur out or if it's just falling out. Her mother had the same issue, though not as bad. I'm a college student and work part time, so I don't have a lot of money. If the fur issue isn't related to age, then I'll work to get some money for a vet visit. But I'd like to know if it's that serious beforehand. Please don't think I'm a bad pet owner, I'm just broke.

Unfortunately I can’t tell what’s going on over the internet, but it’s not normal for cats to just lose their fur. The first thing I’d do though is make sure your cat has adequate flea control.

Anonymous asked: I wanted to be a vet tech but I had to put off my education for several years because of debilitating health issues. I'm in my mid twenties now but still hopeful I can pursue this someday and learning all that I can on my own. But I've always wondered, do vets even want techs who had to delay their formal education for so long?

I don’t see why we’d care terribly much as long as your knowledge is current. It’s more of a concern on a resume if there’s a long period of time with no activity, because that can suggest somebody that’s had trouble as a strong of workplaces and doesn’t want to list them. If there’s a good reason (i.e. not problems at work) it’s not that big a deal how long it took you to train.

Anonymous said: Hi! I can't believe I found an aussie vet blog! Sorry if this has already been asked but, what advice would you give to a young person considering studying to become a vet nurse?

If you’re only considering study at this tie, go get work experience. Go see what it’s like. Talk to nurses, especially the older nurses. Talk about wages and earning potential, even if you don’t want to at this stage because that’s the main reason people stop being vet nurses.

But other than that I have no experience myself being a vet nurse, so I say go talk to some.

Anonymous asked: Are there any good topical pain relief sprays for animals, for after they've had a wound professionally treated, so that they can be in less pain while they heal?

Not really, I think there’s only one on the market, and that’s for sheep. Topical treatments only penetrate a few millimeters through the skin anyway, so our patients are generally better off with systemic pain relief (tablets injection).

Anonymous said: my mother keeps saying it's not worth to take my rat to the vet if they can't cure his mycoplasma :/ We already went once and got a round of Baytril for two weeks but it's back again and I just don't know what to do :( She says it's impossible to live if antibiotics because it will cause kidney failure ???

We can’t cure diabetes either but recommend these patients come in for treatment.

We can’t sure arthritis but still prescribe treatment because it improves their lives.

Something is going to be the cause of death for your rat in the future, whether that’s respiratory disease now or kidney failure in the future. Every treatment we utilize has side effects, but we use the because we judge that action worthwhile. Personally it sounds like your mother just doesn’t want to spend money on a rat.

Anonymous said: I've heard some people say that the adhesive used with some plastic cat claw caps can be toxic if ingested and that there is a risk of kitties accidentally eating one and getting sick. Do you know anything about this?

To my knowledge the soft paws adhesive is safe. The caps are so small they’re unlikely to cause an obstruction, but might be a little uncomfortable if pooped out.

These concerns would still not be a valid reason for considering surgical declawing of a cat.

Anonymous said: As my cat has aged he's not been playing as much. He doesn't have any weight problems and he still plays and jogs around some but he doesn't chase toys he used to love as much as he did before and he doesn't play for as long. He's a neutered indoor cat and we have a somewhat small apartment so I'm a bit concerned about him putting on weight as he continues to age. Is there anything I should be doing to make sure he gets enough exercise?

If you cat is not currently gaining weight they he’s probably getting enough exercise for his food intake, and if his weight is stable I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You can’t force a cat to exercise like you would a dog. I would be more interested in why he doesn’t want to play as much, and would wonder about arthritis.

Anonymous said: Hello! First, I wanted to thank you for doing the Rhodesian Ridgeback post! I really enjoyed all of the info, and I think it's great to know about the breed before you adopt. So I was wondering if it's common for dogs to be allergic to a lot of things (mine is basically allergic to everything) or if that's just depending on the dog (like some humans have allergies and some don't). Thank you! Also, how was your day? I hope it wasn't too stressful or anything.

Once a dog (or cat, or human) has one allergy it’s common for them to develop multiple allergies over time. Also if one animal has an allergy, their relatives are more likely to have allergies, though not necessarily to the same things.

Work has been busy and hectic, but home life is not too bad.

@a-floral-ghost asked: Hi there. I'm not sure if this is something you can legally give advice about, but my dog has bad knees and is on cosequin for it, which completely manages his pain but he's dependent on taking them every day to stay free of pain. Surgery would fix his problem and remove the need for medication, but is much more expensive. I've heard cosequin can cause harmful side effects if taken for too long and that worries me, but the surgery will be hard to afford. Do you have any advice?

If we’re both talking about cosequin the joint supplement which is mostly glucosamine and chondriotin, then it’s pretty low risk of side effects, even if taken for years. Dogs do need to stay on it every day to benefit from it, but the risk of side effects is very low. Low enough for it to be an over the counter medication and not prescription.

Anonymous said: My dog, a shih tzu/Russell terrier mix, has a really prominent underbite. Is this going to hurt him in any way? Should I be doing anything extra for him? Thanks so much <3

Depends how severe it is. There may be minimal difference in a mild case, but dogs sometimes have trouble chewing things like bones and may be more prone to dental disease. If you can brush his teeth that would be gold standard.

@orangecinnamonrooibos asked: Weird cat nipple ask - My male tabby has 3 extra nipples (confirmed by at least 2 vets). He has an extra on his belly near his normal ones, one on the front of his shoulder closer to his neck and one on the back of his neck. With each new or emergency vet I take him to I point them out - one even refused to believe me and ended up shaving the one on his neck to double check (yeup it's still a nipple). Is it really that uncommon?

It’s very uncommon to find extra nipples outside of where the mammary chain usually runs (chest to groin). The one on the back of the neck is especially unusual.

@clowderofcloudies aksed: Would you rather spend a year in a space station or a year in a deep sea submarine? (Assuming that both options have equal area and window space)

Depends on where I get to look at more organisms I haven’t encountered before. I get bored easily.

But why not a deep sea submarine in space?

@rabid-dragoness asked: Into any comic book heroes or stories? Marvel or DC? (Or something else??)

While I enjoy them in principle I’m not really into either at the moment. I have been a long term fan of the webcomics Order of the Stick and I’m hooked on Erfworld at the moment.

@ sketchywyvern said: Trash Bag is beautiful and I love him.

Trash Bag is a small menace and he knows what the internet thinks of him.

@ firebird766-blog said: Trash Bag is adorable. Does he scream at you if you don't feed him promptly enough in the morning?

Not yet, thank goodness. He has tiny little question mews but has not learned to scream like Wonka, who is deaf.

As soon as he learns to cry for food he’s not getting breakfast any more, and will go down to one feed a day. Crying for food two hours before it’s due is not welcome at 5am, from anybody.

Healing Diabetes In Animals, We Help Heal People

Healing Diabetes In Animals, We Help Heal People. Daniela Trnka had been living with exemplar 1 diabetes for almost 20 years when she noticed telltale signs of the sickness in her Siberian Husky, Cooper. He was thirsty, urinating often and at times, lethargic. So she took out her blood sugar examination kit, opened a disrespectful lancet and took a trickle of his blood. Cooper's blood glucose levels were too high click. A veterinarian confirmed it: Cooper had diabetes. Now, the two are coping with the fit together. Trnka monitors Cooper's blood sugar levels and gives him insulin injections. Caring for her pet, Trnka says, has helped her meet better distinction to her own health. "Every time I think to check his sugar, I'm checking mine men ne apnh phuddi jeth jee k nam kar di. I consider I'm more on top of managing my diabetes since I started taking vigilance of him". Trnka recently participated in a new Canadian study focused on pets with diabetes, which found that caring for a afflicted pet may improve the pet owner's health as well. Lead investigate author Melanie Rock, an investigator at the Population Health Intervention Research Center, and a comrade interviewed 16 pet owners as well as veterinarians, a mental health counselor and a pharmacist about what it takes to upon care of dogs and cats with the disease dengudu. About 1 in 500 dogs and 1 in 250 cats in developed nations are treated for diabetes, according to curriculum vitae information in the study in the May 17 consummation of Anthrozoos. Some participants said they had learned so much about the condition they felt better equipped to apply oneself to care of a person with diabetes should they need to. Others, like Trnka, became more diligent about exercising diurnal for their pets' sake. "On a cold, windy day, my dog gets me facing in the fresh air because I know the exercise is good for him. And that's moral for me too," she told the researchers. So "What we observed was that people take the care of their pet very seriously, and in doing so, they bedim the lines between their own health and their pets' health. Being responsible for a dog may get kin up and out of the house on a rainy day". In addition, many pet owners get a crash execution in diabetes, a disease linked to obesity, heart disease, kidney problems and a host of other ills. Those lessons may have formidable implications for people. "Taking care of a diabetic pet may mean adhering to a allot of injections and meals, or perhaps going for more walks to keep a diabetic dog healthy. Previous into or has shown those types of routines and the opportunity for physical activity can be very important for people, amazingly as they age". Studies stretching back three decades suggest that owning or interacting with companion animals can be good for trim by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, decreasing stress and improving cardiovascular function. Other investigate shows the company of pets can ease loneliness, anxiety and maybe even depression. And the two-way healthiness benefits of pet ownership even extend to feathered friends. One 2005 observe cited by the researchers found some parrot owners giving up smoking so they didn't harm their pets with secondhand smoke, while a 2003 writing-room found that owners began eating more fruits and vegetables, initially purchased for their parrots. "Until now, we haven't looked at the relationship between veterinary care and people's own health. Pets are such influential parts of people's lives. We need to find ways to leverage that as a cultural tendency for the sake of public health. Vets are playing a significant role in diabetes education". Trnka, an investor relations and corporate communications consultant, was a freshman in college when she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, in which the invulnerable group destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. "At the time, I didn't even be versed what diabetes was". She learned to test her blood sugar, pore over her food intake and give herself insulin injections. Eventually, she started using an insulin pump, which delivers insulin throughout the heyday through a tiny catheter. Taking care of Cooper hasn't been easy. Even before the Husky was diagnosed with diabetes, he'd had seven knee surgeries and couldn't frequent on his hind legs, so Trnka had to wagon him around in a wheelchair. "Everyone has challenges in life. My friend said, 'Maybe he has diabetes to alleviate you carry your burden.' if he's there to make me think, 'life is not so bad, let's just get on it with it,' then it's working. He has such a thorough temperament. He makes ladies and gentlemen smile supplement. I look at him and I can't complain that I have this condition".

I don’t usually do stuff like this- no, I never do stuff like this. I’m not the kind of person that opens up about mental health or serious issues and puts it out there for the world to see. Are my feet hurting from standing at a cash register all day? Yes, I’ll whine to every person I see about how much that bothers me. Did I get a flat tire? Sure, I’ll complain to everyone I know. Did something seriously emotional or hurtful happen?

We’re not talking about it. End of conversation, you’ll never know.

But today I just want to say a little something about this because I know so many other people who have to go through this too; about how easy it is NOT TO BE A DICK TO PEOPLE.

When you work in retail or food and bev, shit happens. Things go wrong, shipments are late, power goes down, blah blah blah. There are a million little things that can go wrong that will make you angry, and so many people for some reason take their anger at these little whims of the universe out on whoever happens to be standing right in front of them. As if it’s personally our fault.

I work at a movie theater. So you can bet everything that can go wrong will go wrong; with the food, with the movies, with the ticket sales.

Today I drove on icy roads to go to work because I volunteered to take my friend’s shift at work. He said he wanted the day off to spend it with his mother for her birthday. I get there and I’m thrown on a drawer in concessions, during an unexpected rush, and told “CO2 pipe is busted, we can’t sell sodas or icees. Just apologize, give them free water, and move on.”

Most people, in spite of being bummed out, were pretty chill about it. Then this one older couple comes up- guy with a head as bald as a glitter ball, wife all pinch-faced and portly. I try to explain about the sodas. They seemed cool, at first, but then long story short, it’s like a switch flipped and everything went to hell. This guy starts yelling at me, telling me I provide terrible service, go get a manager, he wants to bring drinks in, and he doesn’t want to talk to me any longer because he wants me to make his damn hot dog- even though there is a fucking cook whose job is literally to make the hot dog for me. His wife starts laughing, as if this is supposed to be funny.

I didn’t fire back at him. Not once. I got a manager- made sure to get the one that takes zero shit. He bitched the guy out. The guy apparently apologized to my manager, shook his hand, and then asked him to apologize to me for him. They waited for him to get his hot dog before bringing me back out on the line.

Here’s the thing. I didn’t have to be at work that morning. I didn’t have to be there. My aunt, who is in the late stages of Parkinson’s and dementia, and no longer recognizes any of her family members, fell down a flight of stairs that morning and dashed the back of her head against the floor. She was in the hospital getting stitches to try and fix it up. My cat- my baby boy, the one I picked out in sixth grade, the one I named and raised- has been sick for a couple of weeks. He can’t keep any food down, and we couldn’t take him to the vet because we had a snowstorm and all the roads were closed, and the vet’s office wouldn’t open up for another five days. All the emergency clinics for pets were closed. My cat has slowly been starving to death for five days. I’m sitting here, at home, helpless, having to watch my cat die. We’re taking him to the vet tomorrow, and probably going to have to put him down. He’s only ten years old. He’s only ten years old and he’s dying and it’s not fair. All this was happening that morning. And the worst part is, the guy whose shift I took showed up anyways, without telling me. I didn’t need to be there.

And here I am getting screamed at over sodas. As if there aren’t worse things that can happen to you than not being able to buy your extra large cup of diabetes and heart disease, obesity on the side.

I tried to stay at work after that, but I kept crying in front of customers. It freaked me out. I NEVER cry. I’m pretty sure it isn’t in my genetic code.

I drove home, tried to tell my mom what happened, and suddenly I couldn’t breathe. I was on the floor with a paper bag desperately trying to get air in because I was hyperventilating. I was having a panic attack. My first one ever.

Im not an emotional person. I never thought I’d have anxiety, or stress, or any of it. But I did today, and it won’t stop, and I’m scared to hell of it.

So what I want to know is this; when the hell did it become acceptable for you to treat someone like shit just because they are wearing a uniform or standing on the opposite side of a counter? Why the fuck is there a mentality that if someone is selling something that YOU WANT TO BUY, that no one forced you into getting, you are able to talk to them like they are complete garbage? Why do people turn into fucking monsters the second something goes wrong and take it out on the people trying to help them? Why the fuck is it mentally acceptable for you to blame the person making $7.25 an hour who clocked in five minutes ago for a problem that has nothing to do with them, especially when they are being polite and trying to help you? Because I guarantee you, if I had been just another person standing in that lobby, that jackass would have acted like a fucking angel.

Of course, there are some people that are shit to everyone. But there are also people that get treated like shit more than everyone else. Most of us work in retail.

My point is this, I guess; it is so easy NOT TO BE A DICK TO PEOPLE. It’s so easy not to blame the little guy for some accident than no one has any control over. And while you are bitching about your soda, that person you’re bitching to probably has real problems in their life that actually matter. Like dying relatives. And after you’ve caused a long-coming, slowly building anxiety disorder to manifest in someone with your bullshit excuse for manners, your apology doesn’t mean jack shit, especially when you didn’t even have the balls to say it to my face. You’re apology isn’t going to help me breathe again.
