Excessive thirst or urination
Weight loss despite a good appetite
Lethargy or a lack of energy
Cloudy eyes (in some cases)
Prevention & Management Tips:
Regular veterinary check-ups
A balanced diet and consistent feeding schedule
Keeping your pet active and at a healthy weight

In continuation of our celebration of our August Employees of the Month, we want to take a moment to honor Liz. Liz is a valuable member of our Technician Team and is also a Registered Veterinary Technician. This means that she has completed additional education in the veterinary field and passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE). As an RVT, Liz can provide more hands-on assistance to our Veterinarians during procedures. She can also place necessary IV catheters, administer medications under veterinarian approval, draw and analyze lab samples, take radiographs, and provide advice and educate our clients on proper at-home care until a veterinarian can see their pet. One of Liz's main roles at Bishop Ranch is being a part of our Urgent Care team. She helps triage incoming urgent care patients, checks their vitals, collects a history of the presenting issue, and ensures the pet is stable. Being a technician means that Liz has to be prepared for the unexpected, and that is a part of what she enjoys about working at Bishop Ranch. "I look forward to the witching hour with the evening staff where things tend to get a little weird! "
