Vet Tech Appreciation Week! This week is meant to specifically honor the vet techs out there who do so much for our field! While we feel it is important to respect that title and license, we are using this week to celebrate our full staff! Whether it's the friendly smile greeting you at the front desk, the assistant helping you in the room and comforting your pet, the kennel assistant keeping everything clean, or the inventory manager making sure we have what we need when we need it, the whole team works together to support our doctors and all of you! Let's hear it for the staff of the Garrett Vet family!

We have been meaning to share this amazing success story for a while! This sweet little ferret came to us a few weeks back after a trauma that no one would expect her to survive. She was stepped on by a horse! Realistically, that is an animal literally almost 100 times her weight. Her owners rushed her in as fast as they could. Our team went to work straight away to assess and stabilize her. Her abdomen was rapidly filling with blood, she was having trouble breathing due to crush injuries in her chest including damaged lungs, several broken ribs, a pneumothorax (air trapped outside the lungs) and bleeding in her chest cavity. We talked about trying to transfer to an exotics or critical care center, but there was too much risk she wouldn’t survive the transport. This little fighter wasn’t ready to give up, so neither were we! We were able to stabilize enough to slow the internal bleeding and try to control her pain. We borrowed a makeshift mini oxygen cage from our friends at Night Owls Wellness and Urgent Care, and kept her as comfortable as we could. We adjusted the plan as needed, and we monitored diligently. She stabilized and started feeling better and better! After a few days in the hospital she was ready to go home and rejoin her friends and family! She’s continued from there to make a wonderful recovery. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to be part of cases like this! Thank you for trusting us with your pets of any species.

We are so proud of our team. Monday we fit in 8 extra emergencies, some of which were walk-ins with no warning, on top of our full schedule. Unfortunately, that meant two employee-owned pets had to take a back seat for their own urgent needs while we worked on everyone else. However, after all of that we still had people getting angry that we couldn't take on more emergencies! I urge all of you to remember that we are not an emergency clinic, and there are emergency options within a 20 minute drive ready and waiting to help. While we do our best to fit in as many as we can, we are limited by the laws of time and space. If we are turning you away, please know it is only because we cannot reasonably be there for you and still take care of our other patients. Getting angry on the phone or trying to use emotional blackmail is not going to change the fact that we only have so many hours in the day, and it isn't fair to the staff member trying to help you. Please remember to be kind. We are here to help, and we want to be able to continue helping as many animals in our community as we can.

When we aren't able to get you in, we encourage you to reach out to Night Owls Wellness + Urgent Care as a trusted urgent care nearby
