A veterinarian is just a doctor that treats furry, cute patients.
Be kind to your veterinary staff
Tonight, I’m working one of my two swing/overnight shifts a week. I’m doing what I love. I’m a veterinary technician at an emergency hospital, and helping animals is my passion in life. This job is one of the most fulfilling jobs I can do, and I fully intend to continue taking care of animals in some aspect for the rest of my life.

I have lived with cats most of my life. I have sought out cats and cats have found me. I have never had more than two at a time, except once when I had four. Usually I only have one. I like cats.

Wyatt Martin, poster boy for a generic, unassuming 38-year-old white male. At a meager 5’9”, 167 pounds, widow’s peak beginning its formation on his forehead, it was like he was spit out of an assembly line, forever doomed to be ordinary. The kind of person most people wouldn’t look at twice, but that never bothered Wyatt since he wasn’t a people person. Immediately after high school he attended a university to be a veterinarian and after graduation and earning his license, he went on to study all forms of exotic animals, traveling to other countries for the betterment of his knowledge. Animals, after all, were the deepest of his passions and the reason he wanted to be a veterinarian. No animal left behind, because to Wyatt, every single one was priceless.

Fur. Feathers. Scales. Paws. Beaks. Claws. In the past 6 years of which I have been a Registered Veterinary Technician, I have experienced such a large number of the aforementioned types of animals I've lost count. All have crossed my path due to differing circumstances, whether it be their unfortunate ill health or their exciting first chapter with a new family. But each one was special.

All my life, my jobs have been considered essential. I've worked in horse barns, at dog kennels, and at veterinary clinics. Even in snow storms with a Ford Fiesta, I made the trek to work to take care of the animals. Never in a million years did I expect essential to include working during a global pandemic.

It is essential to stay on top of your pet's health by getting thorough annual wellness exams and routine vaccinations. A pet wellness exam is key to your pet's good health.

Jennifer SandersPublished 4 years ago in PetlifeI love my job
Currently, I work as a full time veterinary surgical technician. I'm not licensed, I didn't go to a special school or go through a special program. I didn't even have a lot of experience or training in the field when I was hired. I was trained solely at the clinic I work at. I have put in a lot of hours, including unpaid hours at home, learning skills to make me a good technician, and let me tell you, I am a DAMN good veterinary technician.
Hannah YorkPublished 4 years ago in PetlifeHow to Calm a Dog When They're Afraid of Fireworks
The new year's just passed. And it won't be too long before another event in your city will start shooting off fireworks to celebrate. So many dogs are terrified of fireworks. It's not just the small breeds. True, some dogs don't care. But some, like my lovely Labrador puppy, whimper, run, and hide from the sound of firecrackers.

Sunday October 13, 2019 8:05 AM: Looking back on the above picture I remember that night perfectly. The ICU was full and my triage nurse was up to her ears in emergencies. This beautiful Galah parrot was brought into my ER due to a bad wing trim. I was the ICU Nurse and Shift Supervisor that night. The owner did not want to part with her baby and my triage nurse explained to me that the bird was visibly in pain.
Azaris MoralesPublished 5 years ago in PetlifeFive Common Signs That Your Pet Is Sick
First of all, I would like to inform you that most of these symptoms will result in needing immediate attention from a vet. So, rule of thumb, take your pet for regular check ups, keep your vet's phone number on your fridge or in your emergency contacts list.
Autumn BrownPublished 5 years ago in Petlife10 Things All Veterinary Technicians Wish You Wouldn't Do
Most pet owners only see veterinary interactions from one view, the view of the pet owner. I have been a veterinary technician for five years and I have seen veterinary interactions from the view of the tech and the owner. There are several things done by the pet owner that SHOULD be avoided at all costs. These things are not just to benefit the technician and veterinarian, but to allow for the entire visit for the patient, owner, and staff to be smooth and effective.
