🐾 Happy Veterinary Nursing Month! 🐾

To celebrate Veterinary Nursing Month, we wanted to shine a light on the many important roles our nurses play every single day.

Across our Bishop’s Stortford branches, we have 23 RVNs and SVNs, each with their own special interests and skills. Together, they create a talented multidisciplinary team dedicated to providing the very best care and support for you and your pets. 💙

✨ Here are just some of the hats our nurses wear:

🩸 Phlebotomists: Our nurses are often the ones placing IV cannulas, administering IV fluids and medications, and taking blood samples for analysis.

🔬 Laboratory Technicians: They run blood and urine tests using our in-house laboratory equipment, preparing results for the vets to review and interpret.

🏥 Inpatient Care: From monitoring vital signs and administering medication to keeping patients comfortable during their stay — and giving plenty of cuddles when home is missed — our nurses are always there.

🩻 X-ray Technicians: Nurses carefully position patients and take diagnostic X-rays to help vets create the best treatment plans.

🩺 Theatre Assistants : They assist vets during sterile procedures, prepare theatres for surgery, and support throughout operations by passing instruments and monitoring patients.

🐶 Nursing Clinics: Our nursing clinics provide a range of support, including weight clinics, nail clips, vaccinations, and happy visits to help pets feel comfortable at the practice.

✨ Laser Therapy: Our nurses are trained in laser therapy, helping to promote healing and recovery for patients with wounds and joint disease.

🦷 Dental Hygienist : Nurses scale and polish your pet’s teeth and complete detailed dental charting under anaesthesia before the vet performs any necessary extractions.

Anaesthetist📊: Nurses help induce and then are responsible for monitoring your pets anaesthetic!

A huge thank you to our amazing nursing team for everything they do 💚

Patient spotlight ✨🌟

Meet the lovely Felix 🐱 – who became a firm team favourite after spending almost a month with us during his recovery.

Following a Bulla Osteotomy procedure to treat recurrent ear infections, Felix faced a lengthy healing journey and stayed in hospital so our team could support him every step of the way. A bulla osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to treat serious disease in the middle ear. The operation involves opening the tympanic bulla (a hollow bone at the base of the skull) so that the vet can remove infected tissue, polyps, or debris that cannot be treated effectively with medication alone.
👂🏻

From our care assistants to our nurses and vets, Felix received lots of love, attention and expert care throughout his stay and while we all adored caring for this handsome boy, we’re so pleased he is now back home with his mum where he belongs 💙

Here is felix now – showing us just how much better he’s feeling having a cuddle with Chloe the Vet at his recheck appointment!

We’re so proud of you, Felix 🐾
