Today we also take the time to appreciate our wonderful vets💙 It takes 5 years of study and dedication to become a vet, sounds simple right? When you break down what our amazing vets do, you soon realise they are not just Vets, they are...
🩺 Diagnosticians - Ultrasounds, Limb and Dental Xrays, Blood and Pathology collectors
🩺 Surgeons - Performing soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, dentistry, suturing, and administering anesthesia.
🩺 Emergency and Critical Care providers: Managing acute trauma and urgent care situations.
🩺 Interpreters : Diagnosing illnesses based on physical exams, laboratory tests, and symptoms, especially since animals cannot communicate symptoms.
🩺 Pharmacist: Knowledge of safe drug prescription, dosage calculations, and administration.
🩺 Animal Handling and Welfare: Handling your pets in a safe, fear free manner.
🩺 Mental Health: Supportive of our clients and their pets needs.
🩺Continuous Education: Constant learning to keep up with new techniques, new medications, treatment options.

** Multiply the above for every species of animal! 😱
So when you next think about the care your pet has received, take the time to acknowledge the sheer amount of education, time and dedication, of our vets, that they give to their role. They don't do this job for the money, it is one of the lowest paid industries, they do it for the love of all animals, great and small. ❤️
From all us nurses, we VALUE, LOVE & RESPECT you all 🥰
