WHAT IS A TECHNICIAN APPOINTMENT?

There are many reasons a pet may come into the hospital that may not require seeing the veterinarian (if the pet is an established patient). Technician appointments are ideal for procedures like nail trims, blood draws, physical exams, a**l sac expression, and other tasks that do not require a veterinarian. This allows the team better utilization of everyone's time and increases patient care. Pet owners can call their veterinary healthcare team to see what type of technician appointments are available for their pet’s needs.

What is a typical day of a veterinary technician?

There is no such thing as a typical day inside a veterinary hospital. The duties of a veterinary technician will also vary. For a technician, the day often begins with patient rounds. The previous clinical shift will present the current cases in the hospital, their diagnosis, treatment plan, and any other pertinent information. After rounds, patients are assessed and evaluated, their vitals recorded and reported to the overseeing veterinarian. After completing patient treatments, it’s time for appointments and surgeries to begin. Developing and implementing anesthetic protocols for surgical cases, performing radiographs (x-rays), delivering chemotherapy, polishing and cleaning teeth, placing intravenous catheters (IVC), client education, filling prescriptions, administering medications, and much more fill the hours between patient rounds, when the next shift arrives, or a new day begins.

Introducing the new cancer screening test for dogs

Cancer is the most common cause of death in dogs over the
age of 2 years in the US.
Up to 50% of all dogs over the age of 10 will develop cancer in their lifetimes.
With approximately 77 million pet dogs in the United States, there are an estimated 6 million pet dogs diagnosed with cancer each year.
Earlier detection of cancer can not only help save lives, it can also improve the quality of life of the dog and more quality time with its owner.
Yet, as of today, unlike the human healthcare world where screening for certain cancers is commonplace (mammogram for breast cancer, colonoscopy for colorectal cancer, HPV for cervical cancer, to name but a few) there are few cancer screening tests
on the veterinary market.
Currently, many dogs are only diagnosed when they are unwell and there is a suspicion of cancer. Even then dogs suspected of having cancer are required to undergo a variety of diagnostic tests
that may be expensive, time consuming and/or painful for the animal.
We hope to change this with the introduction of the Nu.Q™ Vet Cancer Screening Test a simple, low-cost, easy to use screening blood test to be used with the annual wellness check for older
dogs (7 years and older), or for cases where there is a high suspicion of cancer.
It may also be a complementary test for younger dogs at high risk for developing cancer in their lifetimes such as, Golden Retrievers, Boxers, Flat Coated Retrievers, Beagles, Burmese Mountain dogs, Rottweilers, West Highland White Terriers and Shetland Sheepdogs as they age.
The Nu.Q™ Vet Cancer Screening Test has been shown to detect lymphoma and hemangiosarcoma, common cancers which make up approximately one third of canine cancers.
We believe using the Nu.Q™ Vet Cancer Screening Test can help streamline the diagnostic process and shorten the path to diagnosis thereby allowing treatment (be that therapy or surgery)
to be initiated earlier.
The benefit for the veterinarian, the pet owner and the dog is a streamlined diagnostic process: simpler, quicker and less painful diagnosis with the goal of providing quality of life to the pet and more quality time with its owners, as well as providing
valuable additional information to inform the clinical decision-making process

This test is currently going for $65. Call to schedule 517-694-2171
