May is Veterinary Nurse awareness month.
Veterinary nurses are a vital role in the veterinary practice. As well as the fun parts of cuddling puppies and kittens, thats not where it ends. Theyre anaesthetists, radiologists, consultants, phlebotomists, carers and receptionists.
Their standard day can range from taking bloods and running them in house, giving TLC to inpatients, prepping and recovering patients for surgery, consulting with clients discussing flea products, weight clinics and much more, taking xrays and reporting to vets, nursing sick animals, supporting clients through loss and happiness, making tea for the vets and so much more.
