<prompt> Human: I currently work as a Kennel Technician at a vet clinic which includes a lot of bending, twisting, sweeping and mopping, and lifting dogs that weigh up to 100 pounds. Whenever I was hired I told them I could pick up up to 50 pounds and they said if the dog weighed more that they would have someone help me but Im there alone often so theres no one to help me. This week I was there on Sunday while we were closed and I had to bathe a 100 pound dog by myself and I was struggling lifting them out of the tub and I fell and slipped on the floor which had gotten wet while I was bathing such a big dog. I told my boss about it and she responded with the word k initially and then told me I should probably get new shoes. I told her I would have to play it by ear and I woke up with a lot of back pain and told her I couldnt make it in but I would be there the next day and she never answered or got back to me. I think I have to look for a new job because working for her is extremely stressful and all week I would work 730 to 1 or 2 and then go back from 4 till 8 or 9 and I wouldnt have a day off for 9 days and theres no way my back could have handle all of that without a break. Any advice on how to handle this job in the meantime?Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick update! I ended up receiving an offer at a grooming salon today so I am going to quit the clinic and Im debating on giving notice so I can let my back rest before starting the new job. I know a lot of you recommended filing for workmens comp and I can pass the drug test because I dont smoke but I honestly just want to get out of that environment and with this offer I can take a week or two to rest. Thanks for taking your time and giving advice  <response>: Back injuries are really serious. Dont mess around, they end careers and lives.
