Today is National Vet Nurse Day in Australia, and although we’re on the other side of the world, we’ll take any excuse to celebrate our amazing veterinary nurses! 💚🫶🏼

Our nurses are the heart of the hospital, caring for your pets from the moment they arrive to the moment they head home. From monitoring anaesthetics and assisting in surgery, to physio, rehabilitation, lab work, medication management, and providing endless TLC (and cuddles!), they do it all.

At our hospital, our nurses:
🐾 Set up theatres and plan the surgical day
🐾 Take and run blood samples
🐾 Monitor patients under anaesthetic
🐾 Recover and comfort patients post-op
🐾 Administer medications and provide nursing care
🐾 Manage stock, lab work, and endless cleaning to keep everything running smoothly.

They’re the multitasking superheroes behind every wagging tail and happy purr. 🦸‍♀️🐶🐱

Please join us in saying a huge THANK YOU to our incredible nursing team. We couldn’t do what we do without you! 💚👏
