Vet nurse Yolanda's dog Cara came to see vet Cristina recently where she found that Cara had a fractured tooth. Cara needed some extra support while she was under anaesthetic as she has mild kidney disease. Nurses Yo and Lisa assisted Cristina with the procedure with Lisa scaling the teeth and Yolander monitoring the anaesthetic.
The tooth was removed under anaesthetic by Cristina and she is recovering nicely and being a Labrador she was tucking into some food pretty much as soon as she was awake. 😃

Last week Vet Cristina, Nurse Simonne and Kevin went to visit the pupils of Lutton St Nicholas Primary Academy for World veterinary day. The children had a great time meeting Kevin and dressing up as a vet. The children learnt all about what a vet does and what it takes to become a Vet and Nurse. Lets hope we have inspired some vets and nurses of the future.
