Question by Anonymous: I just found out I’m pregnant, but I work at an animal hospital?
I just found out I’m pregnant (possible 5-8 weeks now, unsure of actual conception date and yet to see a gynecologist) with my boyfriend’s baby (we’ve been together for almost seven years). I work in an animal hospital and come in contact with a lot of dog and cats. I know about toxoplasmosis with cats. I ALWAYS wash my hands before and after handle each animal really well. Should I quit my job now to protect my baby or can I hold it off for another month or so? I can’t afford to quit as of now or at least until I start to really show, just mostly due to my student loans and my car loan to pay off and living and pet expenses. I’d hate to depend on someone else (aka my boyfriend to be burdened with my loans).

I also assist in minor surgical procedures, where I’m the anesthetic technician. Will that cause any harmful affected or damage to my baby?

Please let me know of any other risks I’m taking by remaining to work at an animal hospital during my first pregnancy.

P.S. I have three (a nine year old and two eleven year olds) senior dogs at home too, I know they are perfectly healthy other than one of then having hip dysplasia (he’s on medication for that) and one with cancer, and the last one just a little arthritis, but no risk of any of them them passing any zoonotic disease to me as they do not come in contact with any other animal (wild or other people’s pets).

Thanks so much in advance!
Also, I have been taking a lot of x-rays of animals the past three weeks, but we wear lead body covers and thyroid covers as well as gloves. Will this still harm the baby?

i worked at one when i was pregnant the 3rd time. you cant assist with surgeries and you cant help taking xrays. you have to let the vet know that you are pregnant…when i told them i had to become a kennel cleaner and receptionist. oh it sucked.

Thinking about getting a dog? Consider adopting a homeless puppy from the Bonaire Animal Shelter. We have bouncy puppies, cute mature dogs, almost purebred pooches, lovable senior dogs, or a one-of-a-kind real Bonairian superdogs. The Animal Shelter on Bonaire has the best selection of dogs on the island. The dogs are all healthy and very well behaved. We will even help you with spaying and neutering. Bonaire Animal Shelter is a refuge for dogs and cats that can no longer be cared for by their owners, have been abandoned, or were born in the wild and brought to us by concerned citizens and tourists.
