Pentobarbital not only can cause serious illness and/or death; it can also cause relay toxicosis. There is no reversal for this drug, and swift and aggressive intervention (sometimes including ventilation) must be utilized to survive pentobarbital toxicity.

Throwing a free advertising bone to VECCS, I shared my templates here. They did not make an "I'm attending" this year (again) but people asked me about my Canva templates, so I added them here. ✅Feel free to use but please tag me if you do use them. ❌ Please don't remove my logo from the corner

A pink cloud gradient background with green text in the sky that says "iveccs 2026 Savannah" with a sweetbay magnolia near the bottom of the S, and a second semi-lucent flower in the background amongst the clouds. The mid-ground has large green leafy trees. The foreground has a golden semi-lucent text box that reads "I'm attending!" and at the bottom a green semi-lucent text box that reads Savannah Convention Center September 14-17, 2026.

IVECCS 2026 Walkout Info 👇🏻 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟱𝘁𝗵 Savannah Convention Center, Chatham B room The event starts at 4:45PM ET. We will walk out at 4:50PM ET. #IVECCS #Veterinarian #VetMed #Veterinary #VeterinaryMedicine

Why walk out?
The keynote speaker for the 2026 International Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Symposium (IVECCS) is Dr. Betsy Grunch, best known under her moniker LadySpineDoc online. Dr. Grunch's online history includes repeatedly documented unethical behavior, promoting unregulated products to consumers, and practices that can put consumers at risk; if she was a veterinarian, her conduct would be a violation of the Principles of Veterinary Medical Ethics. In response to complaints, IVECCS representatives have cited contractual obligations and limitations as to what they can act on at this time. If they want/have to give her a platform, walking out communicates that was the wrong choice.

No child should face a courtroom alone- in a language they may not speak, against a trained gov't attorney, w/ no one to explain what is happening.

🚨URGENT CALL TO ACTION! 🚨Every child deserves someone in their corner. The Trump administration has withheld $65 million owed to children's lawyers, and their contract expires July 31, 2026. Tens of thousands of children will be left to face immigration court alone (1/2)

(5/5) Privilege has many forms, but one is the ability to hurt ppl around you while simultaneously thinking you're the victim. This is an opportunity to use your privilege for good. May this uncomfortable moment in time contribute to a new evolution of being The Honest Vet.

(4/5) Bigotry isn't openly saying slurs or the KKK or Blackface only... It's the microaggressions, the greenlighting content that's hurtful, the jokes that aren't funny, and the centering of your own feelings as a white woman when someone says "hey this is hurting people".

110

Dr. Kate Alucard, DVM, MPH @kalucard.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

(3/5) You wanna know what 'hurts people's feelings'? Racism, which kills people every day. White people, you and I, are inherently racist, even if our only manifestations of that are unconscious or implicit biases. It's not enough to not be "not racist". You need to be anti-racist.

Dr. Kate Alucard, DVM, MPH @kalucard.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

(2/5) No one can keep a platform and influence without accountability. Hundreds of thousands of people look up to you, and you have in a sense betrayed them. You value honesty and transparency - this is exactly that. You may have your feelings hurt by this, but I challenge you to think why that is.

(1/5) Sylvalyn (thehonestvet) - this is for you. We may have gone to the same school, sat in the same rooms at one point, but we grew up to be different people. You grew to be a publicly lauded beacon of influence in this community unaware or uncaring of the harm you cause.

I think I'm hilarious btw. This is one of my special skills also (meme-ification of my presentations which in turn, increases engagement with sometimes more complicated topics).

A presentation title page cropped with the title "liver, liver, liver - a cross-disciplinary cat case of a ductal plate malformation"; to the right is a popular lizard meme screenshot in reference to a video where the lizard continues to hit a button that says "lizard" over and over again.

Since the whole US Gov't is now on BlueSky posting propaganda, we have to learn about the Hatch Act here too. I don't think talking about this is going to stop these agencies, but I want you ALL to be aware how people in positions of power can try to control you by feeding you manipulative info.
