LJ is a valued, long-time locum Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) who has been an important part of our Falconridge team for years! ❤️

She is the friendly, knowledgeable voice at the other end of the phone when you receive a follow-up call from us, making sure our patients are doing well and their families have the information they need. We like to call her our Executive Officer of Educated Re-Checks! 📞

LJ is thorough, experienced, and dedicated to making sure no detail gets missed. While she does most of her work remotely, she also steps in at the clinic to keep things running smoothly when our other techs take well-deserved holidays.

During RVT Week/Month, we want to recognize LJ for the important work she does behind the scenes and thank her for being such a reliable, knowledgeable, and appreciated member of our team. We are so grateful to have you in our corner, LJ! 🐾

This is Megan, Director of Complex Wound Management.

Megan is one of our fabulous Registered Veterinary Technologists (RVTs), and she has been part of our team for an incredible 17 years! ❤️

In this photo, Megan is removing sutures from a cat's tail, but that's just a tiny part of her role as an RVT! From cleaning and flushing wounds to applying bandages, Megan is involved in helping our patients heal every step of the way. She especially shines when caring for some of our most challenging cases, including very large wounds that require weeks of dedicated hydrotherapy. Her patience, skill, and commitment help these wounds heal beautifully, often with minimal scarring. That's a lot of time, effort, and TLC!

During RVT Week, we want to give Megan a special shout-out for her dedication to our patients and her passion for helping them heal. Thank you, Megan, for 17 years of hard work, compassion, and going the extra mile for the animals in your care. We appreciate you! 🐾❤️

This is our Head of Intubation, Dakota.

Dakota is a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT), and her role on our team involves all kinds of important skills! One of these is intubation, which allows patients to receive oxygen and anesthetic gas during surgery through a breathing tube, a little like a snorkel. While intubation is easy and routine for our dog and cat patients, rabbits are a different story! Dakota made it her mission to learn this specialized skill, putting in extra time and effort to develop her expertise. Thanks to her dedication, she can now routinely intubate our rabbit patients, providing them with a protected airway and making their procedures safer. 🐰

During RVT Week, we truly appreciate Dakota's initiative, commitment to learning, and passion for improving patient care. Her dedication to going the extra mile makes a real difference to our patients, especially those tiny bunny patients who depend on us to get the little things right! ❤️

This is our Chief of Radiology, Jackie.

She is a Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) and, like all RVTs, she wears many hats, Chief of Radiology being one of them!

Jackie has been an integral part of our team for 16 years, and when it comes to taking great X-rays, she really knows her stuff! Whether it's getting the perfect view of a shoulder or capturing a tiny tooth root, Jackie has the positioning skills and attention to detail to get the job done right. She's also taken the lead in learning and implementing our Hands-Free Radiology program, helping keep both our patients and our team safe.

We are so grateful for Jackie's years of hard work, dedication, and expertise. Thank you for everything you do, Jackie! ❤️

Happy RVT Week! ❤️

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing Registered Veterinary Technologists at Falconridge Animal Hospital. Your knowledge, technical skills, compassion, and dedication make such a difference in the lives of our patients, their families, and our entire team. From the big moments to the countless little things that often go unnoticed, you play an essential role in keeping our hospital running and providing the best possible care.

Thank you for everything you do, every single day. We are so lucky to have you on our team! 🐾

From anaesthesia to dentistry; lab animal research to industry sales; equine to avian and exotics; nutrition to radiology; large animal to shelter medicine—RVTs are formally educated professionals who worked hard to gain their credential and deserve recognition for all they do.

Thanksgiving has arrived, which means one thing for our pets: the annual campaign of table scraps has begun. 😂🦃

While your pet may be very convincing, some Thanksgiving favourites aren't safe for them. Skip the onions, garlic, grapes/raisins, chocolate, bones, and rich or fatty foods, and keep those leftovers where they can't help themselves!

We're thankful for all the pets who keep us smiling and all the families who trust us with their care. 🧡

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us!🍂🐾
