How do you diagnose and treat a living being that cannot tell you what’s wrong? Megan and John do it every day for over 500 animals across 150 different species.
From parrots to hellbenders, alligators to cougars, red pandas to giant anteaters – our vet techs have to know how to draw blood, anesthetize, and intubate each of these creatures. They know their diets, their routines, medications, and unique anatomy. They trim beaks, file claws and hooves, pull loose teeth and take care of dozens of other routine procedures. From annual checkups to biopsies and emergency surgery, our vet techs are right there through it all.
Although guests may never see them, our vet techs work tirelessly behind the scenes to provide outstanding care to ensure the health and wellbeing of each of our animals. We truly could not do what we do without them. Thank you to our extremely talented vet techs, Megan and John!
It’s National Vet Tech Appreciation this week, so please send your gratitude Megan and John in the comments below!
