RVTs. Because apparently “good with animals” wasn’t a complicated enough career choice.
One minute they’re monitoring anesthesia on a tiny kitten. The next they’re elbow-deep in something they’d rather not explain at the supper table.
They can calculate drug doses, run lab work, assist in surgery, take X-rays, clean teeth, handle a cranky cow and somehow still find time to convince a 90-pound dog that getting on the scale is, in fact, not a personal attack.
They’ve been peed on, pooped on, kicked at, scratched, drooled on and occasionally thanked with a bite.
And they keep showing up.
Because underneath the questionable smells, mystery stains and dark sense of humour, there’s an incredible amount of knowledge, skill and genuine love for what they do.
October is RVT Month, and we’re tipping our hats to the incredible Registered Veterinary Technologists at Westlock Veterinary Center.
You’re the backbone of a whole lot of what happens around here. And while we may not always know what that stain is on your scrubs, we sure know how lucky we are to have you.
A big shoutout to Akke, Brooke, Alana, Harley, Kirstin, Jocelyn, Sam, Sophia, Kailee, and Jess! ❤️
You do so much behind the scenes to keep our patients cared for and our days running smoothly.
We appreciate everything you do, even when the day turns into a complete(sometimes literal) 💩 show.
Happy RVT Month!
