🐾🎉 As National Veterinary Technician Week comes to a close, we have to give a HUGE shout-out to our honorary veterinary technician… our office manager, ALANA! 🎉🐾
Because let’s be honest, being a veterinary practice manager is basically being a vet tech, therapist, referee, accountant, IT department, customer service representative, professional mind reader, and occasional circus ringmaster all rolled into one.

❤️ Alana, thank you for being our honorary tech, chaos coordinator, problem solver, and the glue that holds this circus together! You may not always be the one holding the animal, but you're helping hold the whole team together, and that deserves just as much recognition.

We appreciate you more than you know! Happy Veterinary Technician Week to our favorite honorary tech! 🐶🐱💉🩺

Being a Vet Tech is so much more than being in the room holding your pet. Obtaining a license requires a minimum of a an associates in Veterinary Technology and sitting for and passing an national exam. Retaining your license requires 12 hours annually of continuing education.
We provide so many services at the clinic where in human medicine would require multiple providers and trips.
Not only are they able to care for multiple species they are complete care takers from the start to the end.

1 week is not enough to thank these ladies for all they do, but can use this week to acknowledge their hard work and dedication to our patients and clients.

🐱⚠️ Cat bite wounds can turn serious, fast. When a bite seals over on the surface, infection can get trapped underneath, forming a painful abscess. 😿🔥 As it builds, you may notice swelling, fever, odor, or draining discharge. Don’t wait it out; abscesses often need veterinary care to heal properly and keep your cat comfortable. 💙

At most clinics, a week doesn't go by without seeing a cat or two in this condition. Cats fight, bite, and get infected. What do you need to know?
