🐾 Vet nurse awareness week 2024 🐾

This week we acknowledge and celebrate our Veterinary Nurses. Vet nurses are hard working professionals with a wide range of skills. You usually see our veterinary nurses as a first point of contact at the clinic or answering the phone. Behind the scenes, they are compassionate and skilled professionals who provide vital support to veterinarians and ensure that our beloved pets and animals receive the best care possible.

Vet nurses skills include monitoring anaesthesia, assisting in surgery, administering medication, taking radiographs, placing intravenous catheters, taking blood samples, preforming diagnostic tests, giving advice on health and nutrition & providing comfort and cuddles to your beloved pet while in hospital.

In the perfect words said by the New Zealand Veterinary Nurse association: It’s not just about their technical skills; it’s their unwavering dedication and genuine love for animals that truly set them apart. They work tirelessly, often in demanding and emotionally challenging situations, to ensure that our pets receive the highest level of care and attention.

A HUGE thank you to our amazing nurses at Carevets Johnsonville: Mikaela, Claudia, Jade, Faith, Riley & Melissa. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

🩺 Blood pressure! 🩺

During our pet warrant of fitness checks, our skilled nursing team will take your pet’s blood pressure. There are two ways to do this, we use a combination of a Doppler readings and a oscillometric readings.

Pictured here is Bowie, who is having his blood pressure measured through a oscillometric reading, a Pet Trust monitor. As you can see, he doesn’t even realise it’s happening! Using a pettrust oscillometric reading is noninvasive which means his stress level remains low - therefore his blood pressure is less likely to spike and we will have a more accurate reading! Perfect for cats and dogs who feel stressed out at the vet clinic.

This reading gave us information on Bowie’s diastolic and systolic blood pressure, as well as his heart rate. Luckily for Bowie, his readings were in normal levels and no further investigation was required.

What if Bowie’s level weren’t normal? If blood pressure is too high or too low (hypertension & hypotension), these conditions can be serious if left untreated. Further investigation to see if there was underlying disease elsewhere in the body that was causing these symptoms would be required.

During our WOF check, your pet will receive a nose to tail health check, blood pressure check, dental check, nutrition check, and comprehensive blood tests. Putting all this information together gives us an excellent idea of your pets overall health and well being.

Did you know oral disease has become a top health problem for dogs? 🐶🦷

Here are our top tips for preventing dental problems and keeping your canine’s smile in tip-top form:

✅ A nutritious diet
✅ Chew treats can help remove plaque and provide stimulation for the gums.
❌ Watch out for wood – throwing sticks to dogs or letting your dog pick up a piece of wood can result in splinters and gum damage.
❌ Don’t let your pet chew on hard materials like stones or even some types of bones. They can wear down and even break teeth, damage gums, and lead to infection.

Until the end of August, we're offering FREE dental checks with a nurse at our clinics. Bookings are essential, get in quick! 📅✅

Ugh - That Breath!

Have you ever regretted smooches with your cat or dog? Recoiled at the fish breath? 😵🐟 Many people think it's normal. Well, it's not!

Bad breath in our pets, often called halitosis, is most commonly caused by periodontal disease. This can and should be treated as it will continue to get worse, can lead to other health issues, and most importantly, can be causing your pet pain that you may not be aware of (dental pain can be some of the most uncomfortable, as I'm sure you'll agree).

If you think your pet has bad breath, let's talk about it - we're here to help you help your best bud. 🐶🐱💕

For the rest of August, we're offering FREE dental checks with a nurse at our clinics. Bookings are essential! 📅✅
