🐾💗 HAPPY VET TECH APPRECIATION WEEK! 💗🐾
At True Companion Animal Hospital, we know our veterinary technicians are the HEART of our hospital! 🩺🐶🐱
So, what exactly does a vet tech do? The better question might be… WHAT DON’T THEY DO?! 🤣
💉 Administer medications, vaccines, and treatments
🩸 Draw blood and run laboratory tests
🩻 Take X-rays and assist with ultrasounds
🦷 Perform dental cleanings and take dental X-rays
😷 Monitor anesthesia and assist during surgery
❤️ Provide nursing care to sick and hospitalized patients
🐾 Place IV catheters and administer fluids
🔬 Collect and examine laboratory samples
💊 Calculate medication dosages and prepare prescriptions
🐕 Comfort nervous patients and give LOTS of cuddles
📋 Educate pet parents and answer their questions
🚨 Jump into action during emergencies
💩 Clean up more bodily fluids than anyone should have to!
And somehow, they manage to do ALL of this while getting covered in fur, slobber, scratches, and the occasional mystery substance! 😂
Today we celebrated our AMAZING team in true True Companion fashion! 🎉
🥪 A delicious Jersey Mike’s lunch courtesy of our wonderful Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) rep!
🍪 Sweet treats from Tiff’s Treats, courtesy of Sage Diagnostics!
🏆 And a hilarious game that gave our team a whole new appreciation for why our patients aren’t exactly fans of the dreaded CONE OF SHAME! 🤣
Our kennel tech Brooklynn put those softball skills to WORK and took home the win by landing the most cotton balls in Mhylia’s cone of shame! 🥎🏆 Apparently, we’ve got a sharpshooter on our hands!
We laughed, we celebrated, and we may have gained a little sympathy for our four-legged patients who have to wear those cones! 😂🐾
To our incredible veterinary technicians and kennel team: THANK YOU! Thank you for your hard work, compassion, dedication, and for loving our patients like they’re your own. Our hospital simply couldn’t function without you!
WE LOVE OUR TECHS!! 💗🐾
