As small animal Veterinary Nurses, we are often asked what we actually do in clinic 🐾
The truth? We do a lot more than people realise.
We monitor your pets during anaesthetics and surgery.
We care for them when they’re hospitalised.
We run blood tests and diagnostics.
We place IV catheters and can administer medications.
We carry out checks on patients pre operatively.
We can carry out dental procedures.
We support in emergencies.
We comfort nervous patients.
We run reception, acting as telephone triage nurses and booking appointments with the vets and for surgeries.
We advocate for their welfare.
And we support you just as much as we support them.
We also run a variety of nurse consults, available most days at varied times to accommodate owners needs.
These appointments give us time to really focus on preventative care and ongoing support.
Our nurse consults include:
• Weight management clinics
• Post-op checks & wound checks
• Suture removals
• Puppy & kitten advice
• Senior pet clinics
• Nail clips
• Dental care advice
• Parasite prevention guidance
• Mobility & arthritis support
They’re such a lovely way to build relationships with both pets and their owners — and to keep your pets happy and healthy long term 🐶🐱
If you’d like to book in for a nurse consult, please call the clinic and our team will be happy to arrange an appointment 📞
