So it's not all about routine scheduled procedures in veterinary practice...
We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight our nursing team, as it's Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, when your pet is admitted for treatment, our nurses do a lot of the inpatient care in collaboration with our vet team. This is generally unseen and so you may not be aware how much they do behind closed doors!
Over the last week or so, we have had some poorly inpatients that required staying with us for treatments to help them feel better. Rocco and Ruby were amongst them 🤎
With the on duty vet coming up with your pets individual patient plan, our nursing team will:
💚 monitor them meticulously throughout their stay, recording it all on their own hospital sheet
💚 place, manage and monitor their intravenous fluid therapy and intravenous catheter
💚 administer drugs prescribed at appropriate timings
💚 generally care for your pet, this includes (but not limited to) taking dogs out for toilet breaks, keeping bedding/litter trays clean, cuddles and attention, grooming, offering food which often involves some encouragement or taking time to hand feed.
Thank you to our nursing team for being our patients advocates, and emotional support friends.
We do hope both Ruby and Rocco are feeling better ☺️
