Blood pressure monitoring is an important tool in managing diseases of our pets. It is also necessary for pets who are on medication. Certain prescription medications can cause pet's blood pressure to increase or decrease and routine monitoring as recommended by your veterinarian is vital to the health and safety of your dog or cat. In home blood pressure readings is one of the most common services I am able to provide. It also happens to be one of my FAVORITE things to do! How can one not enjoy their job, when the patient is sleeping and totally relaxed while obtaining readings? Meet Luna and Ralphie! Their blood pressure test was recommended by their primary care veterinarian.

Today was a great day to showcase how lucky I am to be able to provide relaxed diagnostic blood pressure readings (at the request of a veterinarian) for dogs and cats! Meet Ladybug and Tulip, two kitties from different families that are chill at home, but not so much when at the vet! Seeing them this comfortable while obtaining readings is very rewarding and is another reminder of why I continue to be a CVT! Thank you Ladybug and Tulip!

Well...here is sweet Sid...he belongs to a friend of mine and needed a nail trim. I guess he has not had a trim before. He was so good for his first three feet...then I guess he thought he could "hide" from me for the last foot....😆. Well...a large milkbone later...and all of a sudden I wasn't so bad! Thank you Sid and Robert for allowing me to trim them. His nails we're not too bad...and he was a very good boy!

These are the 2 kitties I was trying to show off a few weeks ago. The signal was not great...so I just took a video of the 2, Dusty - black kitty and Maxwell - black and white. I am not the greatest at taking videos...I was clearly having a tough time. 🙄🙄 At least you can see he loves his cookies and is such an amazing cat to medicate. And it was a decent size pill I had to give to him! Thanks kitties for working with me.

I apologize for the last video at least you hopefully got to see Maxwell sitting up. Again, the signal is not great where I am. Everybody have a great evening stay safe out in the storm, and will talk to you soon!

Here is the special orange kitty once again Bertie...this was a couple visits back. She allowed me some belly time...yet another thing kitties don't easily give up! Thanks to Bertie and her parents for entrusting her care to me while away!

One of my many favorite reasons to love Colorado. Its silly, but when the Willow or cottonwood trees shed their "fluffy" white parachutes, it just feels like I'm in a dream. Again, silly, but it's just so pretty and innocent (not sure if you can tell in the picture...but they are flying around). Anyways...hope everyone is enjoying the weather with family, friends and especially our furry family. Time for great walks, hikes and plenty of ball chasing. Keep hydrated and watch the asphalt for high temps...lots of burned paw pads this time of year! Thought I would add we added a member to our furry family. Thank you to the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region for allowing us to adopt him. He was well cared for there and we sure are lucky to have him! Meet Falafel Gregg!

This adorable little thing...and her family were in a car accident and I picked her up to get her to the Animal ER Care, LLC, for some testing and supportive care. Everyone is ok and on their way to mending. They were so smart to keep her in her carrier...and luckily she only had some minimal damage to her eye. It sounds as though everyone was lucky and all of her family sure wanted the best. She seems like one special little min pin! Thoughts to everyone and thank you for entrusting her to me!

Just some light reading with McKall, one of my boarding dogs. She is a couch cuddler, and along with my heating blanket, a great way to spend time studying. Miss you McKall, our house is almost done!!! Then we will have you back and have 40 acres to run around on!

Who let the cat out of the bag??? Or into the bag? This is one of my favorite...who am I kidding, they are all my favorite....cats named Luigi. I get to visit him every week for SQ Fluids to help support his renal disease. He loves this Pampered Chef bag! He finally got into it for me one day, you are awesome Luigi!

HI FB friends, thank you for hanging on while I work through some extra schooling to transition my certification from Arizona to Colorado! It has been a tough year and a half, but I made it and now just have some fun paperwork to compete! Having the support of Apex College of Veterinary Technology, Animal ER Care, and all my family and friends has made this possible! I look forward to being an official Colorado Certified Veterinary Technician very soon.

I just had to share Tootsie again!. She has the best little personality! Who couldn't use an upside down pug face right now??

Then there is this smooshy face! Im a sucker for them. This is Tootsie..and she is a rescue pug that I am privileged to trim nails on every month!! Lucky me! I believe Tootsie does not show my enthusiasm for nail trims. She gets lots of treats to help ease the process and already she is becoming more at ease with them. I just love her! Every time I leave, she even walks me to the door...such a lady!

Found this "little" guy running down Powers and Hwy 24!! Luckily I was able to bribe him away from powers with treats I keep in the jeep and then he finally trusted me enough to hop in the backseat! I'm so happy he was microchipped! I was unable to stay at the clinic to see...but hopefully his microchip was registered so he can be quickly reunited with his family. Helping this guy just makes me think...if your pet is chipped...put a reminder on your phone or calander to check it annually to make sure they have all the correct info. You never know when something might happen and your furry family member sneaks out. He had a collar on, but no tags at all. 😔 Feel free to message, text or call me if you have any questions about microchipping. I'm happy to answer as many questions as possible.
