Toby was in with us for a few days while the Exotics team administered medication.
The whole team fell in love and he enjoyed whistling at us all as we walked past.
Thanks for the great dance, Toby!
I= Injecting a tortoise
May is #VNAM2021 and here at Rutland House and to give you an insite of what the nurses do at the hospital, we are going to do an A-Z of veterinary Nursing.
I = Injections
Medications can be given in a variety of ways and one of those ways is via injections.
Injections can be given many ways and the most frequently done are subcutaneous, under the skin. Intramuscular into the muscle. Or intravenous into a vein.
The nursing team are trained to be able to give injections to many different species via different routes and the medications will work differently depending on how they are given.
If an injection is given intravenously, then it works very quickly as it is in the blood stream right away. If the injection is given subconsciously then it will take longer before it starts to work or will stay in the body for longer as it takes longer to get to the blood stream.

H = Hospital 🏥
The veterinary nurses are the people who looks after the patients when they are admitted to the hospital and are responsible for the daily care that they receive.
The nurses lease with the vets during hospital rounds and will medicate, clean, care for, and to contact the clients to discuss the patients treatment and improvements.
The hospital.is split into separate ward areas with cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and reptiles all kept separate to reduce any stress levels. The hospital has large wards and large kennels that can accommodate the smallest and largest of patients.
