I would like to take a moment to Recognize, Emphasize and Celebrate the important and crucial roles Veterinary Technicians (& other supportive staff members) play in caring for your animals and supporting the functions of Live Oak. Thank you Sydney, Jessica, Amy, Sherida, Bre, Sara, CC and Zach. Your commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care is such an integral component of our mission. Thank You!

Thank you for loving patients as you love your own pets – giving them the comfiest bed, making sure they can get to their water dish when they can’t move, and hand feeding them if they’re a little leery about eating after vomiting nine times.

Thank you for making your patients comfortable – injections seem exciting (or at least not so scary) and blood draws turn into cuddles and playtime. You don’t mind too terribly much when a puppy urinates on you or when you have to look through vomit for foreign objects.

Thank you for your anesthesia monitoring, dental cleaning skills and sedation preparedness. You worry about patients that aren’t doing well, you do CPR, and you cry when you lose patients that meant so much to you.

Thank you for taking care of your patient’s people. You celebrate with owners when their pets make strides in the right direction and empathize when they worsen.

Thank you for educating the human family members on preventative health care, diseases, treatments, hospitalization goals and what needs to be done at home for recovery from illness or surgery.

Thank you for knowing every “fur baby” and person by name, giving them updates while juggling between phone calls, emails, walk-ins, “dancing”, emergencies, Otto texts and pending lab results.

Thank you for being skilled, for taking the time to learn how to do difficult and intricate procedures.You are anesthetists, x-ray technicians, dental hygienists and lab technicians. You’ve learned how to troubleshoot the blood analyzer, run advanced tests, and look at cytologies. You know how to do confusing and convoluted medical math. You’ve delivered puppies, performed blood transfusions, and placed urinary catheters.

Thank you for sharing your late-nights, weekends and time-off for Live Oak. You’re thoughtful, selfless, kindhearted and often FUNNY co-workers to share my days with.

Thank you for being veterinary technicians and doing what it takes to help all animals – fuzzy, feathered, hairy, furry, and even fiesty.

Beyond that, thank you for being such kind, compassionate, and wonderful human beings – I could not do this without you.

❤️Dr Jennifer Hendrick & Dr Anne Emerick
