We are incredibly proud of Nicky McNeely, our Training & Operations Specialist for ER/Referral Services! She recently presented "The Basics of Blood Smears: How to Make and Evaluate Blood Smears" at IVECCS 2024 in St. Louis, Missouri! She absolutely crushed it!

Blood smear evaluation is essential, serving as a quality control measure to validate automated Complete Blood Count results. These results can help identify the specific illness your pet may be facing.

Nicky's passion for sharing knowledge and supporting fellow professionals reflects Vets Pets' commitment to nurturing talent and fostering growth. Her presentation will also be published in the 2024 IVECCS proceedings.

Congrats Nicky!
