🐱FELINE NEUTER FRENZY🐱

Today our Program was able to neuter, vaccinate, and FIV/FeLV test 18 cats!

This was a group collaboration between first and second year students, instructors, and local veterinarians (Dr. Hendrix and Dr. Glade).

This event not only gives back to our community, but gives the students a real life experience where they can perfect their skills. 👏🏼

Always enjoy helping out at the Brazos Valley Fair and Rodeo🤠

🐎🐎Our students check to ensure all equine contestants have their up to date Coggins paperwork! This is an important test to ensure equines are safe from Equine Infectious Anemia, a potentially fatal disease which is spread by biting insects such as horseflies.🐎🐎

🐾HAPPY VET TECH WEEK🐾

Though our students aren't credentialed, yet. We like to take one day of the week to celebrate the journey they are on..... becoming LVTs.

Today they enjoyed some games, gift bags, and ice cream bar! We hope all the vet techs enjoy their week, and understand how incredibly vital they are to the profession.

We want to give a BIG THANK YOU to a couple of amazing organizations that came out this month to educate our second year students on reptiles.

🐍 HERPShop 🐍

🦎 The Learning Zoo 🦎

The students enjoyed learning about reptiles and what makes them such unique pets! They were able to handle them as well, which always makes for a good photo shoot.

We highly encourage you to visit these places if you have an interest in learning more about exotic pets. They know their stuff!!
