Say hello to Pepper! This sweet girl underwent a spay and preventative gastropexy surgery, and she’s resting up like a champ. 💖🐶

A gastropexy is a procedure that secures the stomach to the abdominal wall, preventing a life-threatening condition called gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) or “bloat.” GDV occurs when the stomach fills with gas and twists, cutting off blood flow and requiring emergency surgery. Certain breeds, especially large, deep-chested dogs like Great Danes and German Shepherds, are more at risk for this condition.

🩺❤️ We’re wishing you a speedy recovery and plenty of belly rubs ahead. 🐾✨

Last but not least, we are featuring Natalie this week for ! She has been a Registered Veterinary Technician for 6 years and has worked with a variety of animals including birds, reptiles and wildlife! Her special interests include exotic companion animal care, nutrition and performing dental cleanings.

"RVTs have a unique career pathway that is different from the role of the veterinarian. It allows us to perform a variety of roles in the vet clinic. In addition to being a nurse, we are also surgical technicians, anesthesiologists, x-ray technicians, phlebotomists, lab technicians & more! RVTs can advance their careers & acquire a veterinary technician specialty (VTS) in fields such as dentistry, nutrition, behaviour & others. "

This week for RVT month, we are shining the spotlight on Michelle, our lead Registered Veterinary Technician! She has been for 6 years, with a passion and special interest in anesthesia and pain management in pets. 🐶🐱🐰

"Being a Registered Veterinary Technicians is important to me as it recognizes the hard work and dedication to practicing the best standard of medicine. Being an RVT means that you have completed the 2 year college degree as well as passing a national exam. To keep up with registration, we must complete continuing education and stay up to date with the latest studies and information."

October is RVT month, where we celebrate the role Registered Veterinary Technicians play in taking care of your pets! We are highlighting one of our RVTs each week, starting with Lindsay! She was a tech student with us before officially joining the team following graduation from Georgian College.

"One of my favourite parts about being a vet tech is being a part of surgeries and seeing pets' lives improve afterwards. For example, performing dental cleanings and radiographs and hearing that pets are eating better, are more energetic and have an improved lifestyle following the procedure 🦷🪥⭐️❤️"

Oh look, it's dental disease

Oh look, it's dental disease! How often do you lift up your pets' gums to evaluate the health of their gums and teeth? Early dental dental disease can be reversed with diligent at-home care and routine cleaning, but more chronic or severe cases with bone loss may require extraction of the affected teeth. --- #dog #puppy #cat #kitten #periodontaldisease #vetdentistry #petcare #veterinarian #veterinaryhospital #petsoforillia #orillia #simcoecounty
