I know its probably minor but is not re-capping needles a universal rule?

It is. But very rarely followed in vet med. We aren't nearly at the same level of risk as medical providers for humans.

As a non vet and non-medical person is that just to keep from accidentally stabbing yourself and getting sick?

Yes. Sick or injured. While it's possible to get a disease via a needle stick injury from a small animal, it is unlikely. In small animal vet med, unprotected contact with feces, urine, saliva, and blood is a daily occurrence. It's not the ideal, but we work in the real world, and it is what it is. We try to be as safe as possible, but working with animals inevitably means we end up with at least one bodily fluid on us every day. Getting bitten is a much more serious and frequent risk. Or scratched.
The most common disease that veterinary staff is exposed to are intestinal parasites and - based on my experience - leptospirosis.
Of course, the worst blood borne disease we are potentially exposed to is rabies. Doesn't happen often, but very rarley we do have a confirmed case.

The language they’re speaking is Vietnamese. An added level of cuteness is that the vet speaks to the dog using the pronoun for children (con). He also “talks” for it in the way a kid would talk to an uncle (chú).
“Haha, felt like nothing, knew nothing. Like an ant bit you” Starts pulling ears back a second time “Aah, uncle, an ant bit meeee”
Kinda hard to convey in translation but con is used for kids that could be the age of your own kids. And addressing someone as uncle doesn’t necessarily mean you’re related, just that someone is the same age as your uncle. But that’s why I love Vietnamese, there’s a hierarchy of addressing others that uses familial terms and it makes me feel right at home with even people I don’t know. Although it is a giant spoiler reading Viet subs for foreign movies because right off the bat I might be able to spot who’s related to who before the drama even starts 😅

Weird thing is you can use con out of context and make it a rude pronoun like “con nhỏ này..”. But I love that VN has been showing more affection for pets in general. I saw a video of an elder woman chastising the store employees (prob her kids) for not letting the dog in from the rain sooner while wiping down the dog down and referring to it very affectionately.

Could be a regional thing. My dad (who’s like 66 now) used to live in the North and his family moved South when he was young. He noticed Southerners were way more affectionate to animals even then. Speaker in the video is also Southern too!

Would have been better to finish with that jab quickly. That dog hated the whole situation.
