Report
The veterinary field is in crisis all across the country. There has been a shortage of qualified veterinary workers for a few years, but the situation is getting worse. Veterinary workers are suffering from long work hours, stress, compassion fatigue and sometimes depression and other mental health issues.
Nurses
Report
Just as in human medicine, the individuals who spend the most time caring for patients are the nurses. Our state-licensed nurses are the back-bone of our medical support staff. All five of them have been practicing at our hospital for at least ten years each.
Our nurses are highly skilled in procedures such as anesthesia induction, anesthesia recovery, oxygen and heat therapy, radiology, splint and bandage application, IV catheterization and cystocentesis.In addition, they provide continual care for our hospitalized patients, including IV fluid administration, drug therapy, wound care, nutrition management, and pain control.
