🙌Happy Vet Tech Week!🙌

Our vet techs are also laboratory technicians, who studiously scour f***l samples in search of parasite ova under the microscope, as pictured here by our best technician, Grizzly.

🌟🐾 Today, for Vet Tech Week, we want to highlight the incredible role of veterinary technicians as anesthesiologists in the world of animal healthcare! 🐶💉

Veterinary technicians are often the unsung heroes behind the scenes during surgeries and procedures requiring anesthesia. Here’s what makes their role so critical:

1. **Pre-Anesthetic Assessment**: Vet techs conduct thorough evaluations to assess a pet’s health, gathering important information about their medical history, current medications, and any potential risks. This ensures that each patient is a suitable candidate for anesthesia.

2. **Anesthesia Planning**: They collaborate with veterinarians to develop a tailored anesthesia plan based on the individual needs of the animal. This involves selecting the appropriate anesthetic drugs and dosages to ensure a safe and effective experience.

3. **Monitoring Vital Signs**: During surgery, vet techs are responsible for continuously monitoring the pet’s vital signs, including heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen levels. Their keen observation skills allow them to respond quickly to any changes, ensuring the pet’s safety throughout the procedure.

4. **Post-Anesthetic Care**: After the surgery is completed, vet techs play a crucial role in recovery. They monitor pets as they wake from anesthesia, providing comfort and care to help them regain their strength safely.

5. **Education and Support**: Vet techs also educate pet owners on pre-and post-operative care, helping them understand what to expect and how to care for their furry friends after anesthesia.

The dedication and expertise of vet techs as anesthesiologists are essential in creating a safe, compassionate environment for our beloved pets. Let’s give a round of applause to these professionals who play a vital role in ensuring the health and well-being of our animals! 👏❤️🐕‍🦺🐱

🌍💉 **Happy World Rabies Day!** 💉🌍

Today, we join the global community to raise awareness about rabies, a preventable yet deadly virus that affects thousands of animals and humans each year. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of vaccinating our pets and spreading knowledge about rabies prevention.

🐾 Here are a few ways you can help combat rabies:
1. Ensure your pets are vaccinated against rabies and keep their vaccinations up to date.
2. Educate yourself and others about the risks of rabies and how it's transmitted.
3. Report any wild animals exhibiting unusual behavior and avoid contact with them.

Together, we can protect our furry friends and communities from rabies. Thank you for being a responsible pet owner and helping us spread awareness!

Good morning! In this video, you’ll be introduced to microfilaria, which is the offspring of heartworms that live in the bloodstream. The first clip in this video was recorded in our own clinic yesterday. Can you find the parasite? Our area is notorious for heartworm disease, and it only takes one bite from a mosquito, even in the cooler months; the importance of year round heartworm preventative cannot be stressed enough.
