Vet ER

London was in hospital with us for a couple days due to bad gastrointestinal upset. She was such a sweetheart! She just needed to pose for a picture with tech Jessi!

This week we are celebrating our tech assistants! It is Veterinary Tech Assistant Appreciation Week, and so of course we have to take this opportunity to recognize this amazing group of people. They are truly the unsung heroes of emergency veterinary medicine. They are involved in all areas of care for our patients, and your furry family members.

- They set up and maintain clean warm accommodations for pets
- They take the extra time to ensure dogs get lots of chances to stretch their legs during bathroom breaks
- They ensure the nervous cats get safe hiding spaces, or have bird TV set up
- They offer comfort to both the patients as well as the clients
- They assist our technologists in many things - taking x-rays, blood sampling, setting up monitoring equipment during procedures, etc
- They clean up (a lot) of messes
- They take the time to hand feed pets who are having a difficult time eating
- They prep for emergency procedures and treatments, making sure we are always ready to go!
- And so much more that we simply don't have the space to list!

And they do everything with compassion, speed, and heart! Vet ER would not function without their tireless support. We appreciate our assistants each and every day! Drop a thank-you in the comments and help us celebrate the amazing humans behind the scrubs!
