HAPPY VETERINARY RECEPTIONIST WEEK!

Our receptionists have client interactions for 10 hours a day- that’s hard! We appreciate the day-in and day-out tasks that these ladies provide for our hospital. This includes: answering the phones, scheduling appointments, checking in and out appointments, connecting with clients and their pets, and monitoring a multi-communication platform…. All while trying to prioritize your pet’s needs but also satisfying the many Veterinarian moods of the day 😅 yes, that’s a mouthful. For a clearer picture of what we mean, please watch the video below:

Tech Tuesday #4 is brought to us by our longest standing employee of 14 YEARS, Mandie! 🤯 Most of your pets probably recognize her as the selfless treat-giver and the best hugger! Today, she wants to bring awareness to the potential dangers surrounding common goodies found in Easter baskets:

For many, the Easter Bunny has made its way down the bunny trail leaving our homes with lots of tasty treats! If chocolate was one of those, make sure we keep those baskets up and away from our loved fur babies! Many of our pets like to take part in our Holiday celebrations, however, the ingestion of chocolate can make our pets very sick. Chocolate contains Theobromine and Caffeine which are very toxic to our pets, as they are not able to quickly metabolize these ingredients. When this happens, these substances build up in their bodies causing various signs of toxicity. These signs include: vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst, and restlessness. If left untreated, these affects can become life threatening- moving toward increased heart rates -which can cause irregular heartbeats and increased respiratory rates…Sometimes even tremors and seizures too. The good news is, if you suspect your pet has robbed an Easter basket and has stolen some chocolate, please call our office immediately so we can help! We have ways to treat this so that your pet can feel better quickly and get back home to you and your family! Sadly, we cannot guarantee a lesson will be learned after the experience🤦🏼‍♀️. I hope everyone had a lovely Easter and keep those baskets out of reach!

Tech Tuesday #3 is brought to you by Morgan. She has been with the Chenault family for 8 YEARS as of March!! She has captured the hearts of many clients with her compassionate care- to pets and their owners!

Today, she wants to provide recognition around the chaotic and stressful, yet rewarding job as a Veterinary Technician.

So, What is a Veterinary Technician?

In Virginia, a Licensed Veterinary Technician is very similar to nurses of the human medical world. They go to school, sit for board exams and then apply for their medical license through the state. Those licenses must be upheld through continuing education every year in order to renew it. They learn such a large array of knowledge due to the fact they must learn the information which differs for EACH species they had to study (dog, cat, horse, farm animals, exotics, birds and so many more)!

Veterinaryary Technicians work under the direct supervision of the veterinarians in the practice to perform a plethora of tasks to keep patient care at its best.
These tasks can include, but are not limited to:
- Collecting samples like blood & urine to then perform testing on the samples
- Placing catheters (both the IV and urinary kind)
- Take radiographs
- Can induce & monitor anesthesia
- Surgical assisting
- Dental cleanings & radiographs
- Monitor & care for in hospital patients including administering medications
- Discuss quality of life & help patients cross the Rainbow Bridge when the time comes
And SO much more!!

Without vet techs to support your vets, and vet assistants to support us both, the well oiled machine that is your vet staff could not function as well!

Tech Tuesday #2 comes from our Technician Marie. In just a few short months, Marie will hit her 6 year mark with us! Today, she wants to bring awareness around the importance of Spaying.

To most people, Spaying (& Neutering) is simply to just prevent unwanted litters of puppies/kittens, and to help with some behavioral problems. However, Spaying is much more than that. Intact females are at risk for pyometra and mammory tumors.

Spaying can also prevent other medical problems, one of which occurred in our hospital last week. Meet “Snowy”, a sweet 10 year old Chihuahua that presented with 2 inguinal hernias, measuring the size of a tennis ball (!!) and causing strangulation of her uterus. This resulted in an emergency surgery to save her life. We are proud to say that the surgery was successful! While she still has a bit of healing to do, we cant help but wish that more of our clients knew the benefits of Spaying. Thank you “Snowy” and family for sharing your story with us! 💟

*APRIL/MAY MONTHLY SPECIAL* Receive 50% off a 4dx Heartworm Test when you buy 12 months of Heartgard or Nexgard PLUS preventative! PLUS, an instant rebate applied at checkout!

Chenault’s 5 takeaways for the day:
1. Heartworm disease is almost 100% preventable with monthly heartworm prevention
2. 67% percent of dogs in the United States do not receive even one dose of heartworm preventative in a year.
3. Only 10% of clients actually give it every 30 days.
4. Heartworms are carried by mosquitos
5. Because most people give preventative late, or not at all, ANNUAL heartworm tests are highly recommended.

We want to help you and your pet by offering 50% off the Heartworm test (~$40 value) when you purchase 1 year of preventative. Will you help us defeat the odds for 2025?

We are starting a *New Series* called Tech Tuesdays! Each week, one of our technicians will share something that they are passionate about- it could be funny, educational, a heartwarming story, or a cute pet that has visited us recently. There are no rules! 😜

Alexis, our technician student, is up first. Her 3 year Workiversary is April 4th! Her post comes as a tribute to her beloved Cane Corso, Jazmine:

Cane Corso is pronounced “Cah-ne Corso”, not cane like a candy cane. These Italian Mastiffs historically were bred as war dogs and for herding cattle. They are now becoming a very popular guardian breed due to their stunning look.

Thank you, Alexis, for sharing! She was nothing short of STUNNING 💕

Dogs and cats age much faster than humans, so annual bloodwork gives our doctors the opportunity to screen and catch things before your pet starts showing signs/symptoms.
