Did you think we were going to get all the way through Vet Tech Appreciation Week without making a social media post about it??

Our techs are what keep the clinic running! They monitor anesthesia, assist in surgical and dental procedures, take x-rays, perform various forms of lab work, answer obscure animal care questions, and so much more. Most importantly, they are the ones who make sure your pets are loved and comforted during their visit with us.

You may not see their faces at every appointment (or on Facebook... they're camera shy, and really very busy!), but they are always here behind the scenes with something or someone important in their hands.

We love our vet techs very much, and we truly couldn't do it without them.

Everyone please feel free to share your appreciation of Mel, Rachel, Sam, Faith and Rebecca and we'll make sure to pass on the compliments ♥

Have you ever wondered why we strongly recommend dental x-rays for pets?

This is staff cat Peanut! If you look at the photo on the left you can see that one of her teeth looks a little inflammed around the gumline, but appears normal otherwise...right?

Wrong! Looking at her x-ray on the right you can see that the tooth has completely been eaten away under her outer enamel layer. In the teeth next door you can see healthy roots and pulp - it's quite a contrast.

Since Peanut wasn't really showing any signs of dental discomfort, without the x-rays we wouldn't have known that the tooth needed to come out! If the tooth hadn't been removed Peanut would have been at risk for an infection or intense future dental pain.

What was left of this tooth was removed, and Peanut has been recovering well since. Would you have suspected something like that was going on under her tooth without the x-ray?

What better way to celebrate National Pet Bird Day than with a Pretty Bird??

Tiki the macaw couldn't resist showing off her feathers at her most recent check up with us - and we can't help but agree. She's a VERY Pretty Bird😍

❗❗CAUTION - VERY GROSS VIDEO AHEAD❗❗

THIS gross parasite is called a Cuterebra - more commonly known as Botfly Larvae. We don't get to see these guys often (and very rarely in non-wildlife patients), so it was a big surprise when Pumpkin the rabbit came in with this not-so-little passenger!

Cuterebra start their lives as eggs in soil. As they develop into larvae they sense carbon dioxide, hatch, and leave the soil. They then bury themselves into the skin of the nearest host they can find, and grow into THIS monstrosity.

The biggest risk factor for Cuterebra is allowing your pet to sleep outside overnight - this is when the larvae are most active, and sleeping pets may not wake up and realize something is making a home inside of them.

Proper removal is a tricky, delicate, and absolutely disgusting (or captivating, if you're the techs that work here) process; but without it the larvae continue living IN the skin before reaching maturity and bursting back out, leaving the host at risk for major infection.

The good news is that Pumpkin is recovering well from the extraction and her humans are making some changes their outdoor enclosure to ensure this doesn't happen again!

ADOPTABLE AMPHIBIANS!

🐸 Meet Cheeseburger & Lemon Loaf! 🐸

Vet Tech Sam has been fostering these two frogs since they came to us as eeny weeny babies who were underweight and not eating on their own. After a few months of care, they are now eating on their own and are ready for their new forever homes!

🍔CHEESEBURGER (Female | Green)An absolute unit. Cheeseburger has an enthusiastic—maybe too enthusiastic—feeding response. She will happily demolish any nightcrawler or discoid roach offered to her. She's a spicy lady with a lot of opinions and a BIG personality.

🍞 LEMON LOAF (Male | Yellow)A polite little guy. Lemon Loaf prefers roaches over nightcrawlers but will accept either. He has made it his life mission to ensure there is dirt in his water bowl at all times, and he may quietly sing to you at night.

If you are interested in adopting Cheeseburger or Lemon Loaf, please contact Boberta's Dragons Reptile Rescue for more information!
