This is Carl who came in for a castration recently.
Vets and Nurses place intravenous catheters in patients upon admission and we use red bandage to ensure everyone is aware that one has been placed.
Dogs and cats have intravenous catheters placed into the cephalic vein in the front leg.
With rabbits, we place them in the marginal ear vein in the ear.
It is important that we have intravenous access at all times to deliver medicines and fluids as needed.
We are pleased to say that Carl is fully recovered and back to his usual self ๐ฐ
