Park in the field if you are stopping by the clinic today! Also, don't forget we are closed tomorrow while the paving for the main entrance is being completed. If you have any questions please let us know!

11/05/2024

We have had an unexpected change in parking tomorrow! The heat is keeping the pavement from drying properly so we are unable to park in any of the parking lots. If you have an appointment or are coming to the clinic tomorrow, you will be directed to park in the field beside the office and walk through the grass to the building. There will be barriers and signs in place to help guide everyone. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please let us know if you have questions or need help coming in. Thank you for your patience!

This week is Veterinary Technician/Nurse Appreciation Week. Our amazing team of veterinary technicians/nurses work so hard every single day to ensure pets are receiving the best possible care.

On a typical day, a veterinary technician/nurse wears many hats, often jumping from one task to the next to ensure proper care for every patient. During your pet’s office visit, a veterinary technician will take a detailed history before the veterinarian enters the room. Then, he or she safely holds your pet during the veterinarian’s assessment, prepares your pet’s medications, and teaches you to administer them at home.

Behind the scenes, a veterinary team is hard at work assisting with laboratory work, X-rays, anesthesia, and surgery. In the hospital’s treatment area, veterinary technicians gather patient samples for lab tests to help diagnose complicated medical conditions. They may draw blood, collect urine, or walk a patient to get f***s for analysis.

Pets needing X-rays are in good hands. Veterinary technicians/nurses measure the body part to be radiographed, properly set the machine, and hold the patient in position to obtain a diagnostic image. Veterinary technicians/nurses maintain most of the hospital equipment, including the X-ray machine, to ensure it’s ready to produce images to aid in a pet’s diagnosis.

When a pet needs anesthesia, a veterinary technician/nurse will place an intravenous (IV) catheter, as well as calculate and administer the correct medications. After the pet is resting comfortably, a veterinary technician will prepare the pet for his surgical procedure by placing an endotracheal (breathing) tube for oxygen and anesthetic gas administration. Throughout surgery, the veterinary technician remains by the pet’s side, monitoring anesthetic depth and vital signs to ensure he remains at a safe anesthetic level. Afterward, they help the patient wake up, keeping them warm and comfortable as they regain consciousness. After surgery, they will clean and sterilize all equipment and instruments so they are ready for the next procedure.

This is just a snapshot of some of a veterinary technician/nurses daily duties that make them invaluable in a well-run veterinary hospital. Veterinary technicians often work long, physically demanding shifts, but they return day after day with a smile, excited to fulfill their passion for helping pets stay healthy.

We are so thankful for our incredible team here at Franklin Veterinary Associates and hope you'll help us celebrate their hard work this week!
