October 29th marks National Cat Day! 🐈 🐱 🐈‍⬛

29% of US households have at least one cat!

It’s no surprise that our staff at TMVS fit in that trend! Join us today in celebrating our feline friends!

10/15/2024

The third week of October kicks off National Veterinary Technician Week!

We would like to recognize and celebrate our Licensed Veterinary Technician: Samantha, as well as our Veterinary Assistants: Amber, Kaitlyn & Katie.

Veterinary technicians are educated in the care and handling of animals, the principles of normal and abnormal life processes, and in many laboratory and clinical procedures. In general, veterinary technicians obtain 4 years of post-high school education and have an associate's or bachelor's degree in veterinary technology. They must pass a credentialing examination and keep up-to-date with continuing education to be considered licensed veterinary technicians.

All veterinary technicians work under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. A veterinary technician can do almost all tasks in a veterinary clinic besides diagnosing, prescribing medication, or perform surgery.

In a clinical practice setting veterinary technicians handle many of the same responsibilities that nurses and other professionals perform for physicians—and, like veterinarians, they are trained to work with several species of animals. They are trained to obtain and record patient case histories; collect specimens and perform laboratory procedures; provide specialized nursing care; prepare animals, instruments, and equipment for surgery; assist in diagnostic, medical, and surgical procedures; expose and develop radiographs (X-rays); advise and educate animal owners; supervise and train practice personnel; and perform dental prophylaxes.

Veterinary assistants support veterinarians and/or veterinary technicians in their daily tasks.

We are very thankful to have our support team here at Turtle Mountain Veterinary Service. We couldn’t do it without these girls!

Hello everyone! We would like to make an announcement from the staff at Turtle Mountain Veterinary Service. As you may have heard or seen by now, we have gone down to one doctor at our clinic. Dr. Jill continues to be the sole owner and operator of TMVS.

As we head into fall we enter into one of our busiest seasons of the year with cattle operations. What does this mean going forward?

1. There will be multiple days where Dr. Jill is out on a farm call and not in the clinic for the entire day. We may not be able to see urgent care cases as we could in our previous capacity. We also highly advise calling ahead with questions or prescription requests and allowing yourself 24+ hrs for a response.

2. We have discontinued accepting any new clients. Anyone who has done business with our clinic previously is considered a client. We will continue to see new patients for our active clients; however, if we have never done business with someone we will be referring them to another veterinary clinic.

We understand these new changes may be frustrating, however we continue to strive to provide care and services for our current clientele. Please know that we are doing the best we can to serve our clients’ needs with the staff and resources we have. There will be days that we simply cannot provide care for every need.
As always please be patient and respectful to our staff.

For non-client emergencies or if our doctor is out of office and you have an urgent problem we recommend using vettriage.com/tmvs or contact Red River Emergency Hospital at 701-478-9299 for immediate help.

Thank you all for continuing to support our business through all of our seasons. We are proud to be a part of this community.

🍂 Fall is here! While we welcome the cooler weather and colorful trees there are a few hazards to watch out for.

🍁 Rodenticides and cold weather poisons. The use of rodenticides increase in the fall as rodents seek shelter from the cooler temperatures by attempting to move indoors. Rodenticides are highly toxic to pets and, if ingested, the results could be fatal. If you must use these products, please do so with extreme caution and put them in places inaccessible to your pets.

🍁 Stay up to date on your flea and tick prevention. The cooler temperatures of fall cause fleas and ticks to look for shelter and warmth, which can be your home or your pet. Ticks tend to live under leaf and debris piles as they gear up for hibernation.

🍁 Steer clear of mushrooms. While 99% of mushrooms have little or no toxicity, the 1% that are highly toxic can cause life-threatening problems in pets

We may not be ready to get out our jackets but we can help keep our pets safe as the weather changes! Happy fall y’all!

We would like to announce the departure of our associate veterinarian, Dr. Rachael Odermann.

Dr. Rachael has been a valuable part of our team for the last 4 years. We’re grateful for the service she has provided and share many great memories with her. We would like to wish her a happy farewell and wish her the best for her future endeavors!
