Being a veterinarian is about compassion and dedication, it is way beyond profit.It is in helping these gentle creatures that cannot help themselves that only vets can understand their illness. Dealing with bad apples is worse than euthanasia. So please be kind and grateful ❤️

What Has Happened to the Vets From the Other Side of the Globe?

By Dr. Geoff Carullo, DVM, Fel., PCCP, Dip., PCVSCA

Every week, somewhere in the world, another veterinarian shares a post that breaks the silence. The same tone, the same pain, only the names and places change.

Whether in the Philippines, the United States, the UK, or Australia — the words echo: “I did everything right. Why do I still feel like I failed?”

It’s not just about medicine anymore. It’s about the growing weight of expectations, the shrinking space for trust, and the constant fear that empathy might one day cost you your license.

In many countries, vets are facing the same storm — board complaints, social media attacks, emotional blackmail from clients, and relentless guilt from outcomes beyond their control. They are healers, yet they are the ones quietly breaking inside. They are trained to treat illness, yet the system often leaves them sick with anxiety.

The digital age has connected us all — but it has also amplified anger. One angry review can overshadow a hundred grateful clients. One complaint can erase years of dedication. One misunderstanding can destroy a reputation.

But what’s happening isn’t just to veterinarians. It’s a reflection of what’s happening to humanity — a loss of patience, of empathy, of grace. People are hurting, and in their grief, they look for someone to blame. And the vet, the one who stands between life and death, becomes the easiest target.

Across the globe, vets cry the same tears — the silent ones behind closed clinic doors. They keep showing up, because there’s still a puppy to save, a kitten to comfort, a life that needs one more chance.
We must remember: veterinarians are not just professionals. They are protectors of hope. And right now, the world needs to protect them back.

“Arte lang?” — Why Heart Evangelista’s Tick Story Isn’t Just Drama
By Dr. Geoff Carullo, DVM, FPCCP, DPCVSCA

And what many netizens dismiss as “kaartehan” is often the exact scenario that walks into our clinics daily. Parasites don’t only cause “itch.” They trigger inflammatory biology. Ticks and fleas aren’t simply crawling insects.

"Ang sakit Mo Magsalita: But Please, Don’t Generalize Veterinarians”
By Dr. Geoff Carullo, DVM, FPCCP, DPCVSCA
Lately, may kumalat na post online:

“Mataas daw suicidal rate ng veterinarian maybe dahil pumapatay kayo ng pets, namemera lang… kaya deserve niyo yan.”

Masakit.

Hindi lang dahil binabato ito sa amin bilang propesyon. Masakit dahil may mga taong naniniwala na tama ito.

And the sad truth is this:

Words like these hurt more than people realize — and sometimes, they destroy people silently.

A comment circulating online struck a nerve:

“Ganyan sila ka mukhang pera at walang puso sa animal… Sana kaya nag-vet ang mga vet ay dahil may compassion sila lalo na sa rescue or biktima ng cruelty.”

It’s painful to read.
Not because veterinarians are perfect.
But because this statement reflects a deep misunderstanding of how compassion actually works in real life veterinary practice.

Let’s talk about this honestly, without anger.
