Technicians
Our Technicians work tirelessly both face-to-face with you and behind the scenes to carry out diagnostic tests and enact treatment plans for your pets. They triage patients, monitor pets under general anesthesia, place IV catheters, splints and bandages. They collect blood, urine, skin and ear samples, and run the various tests with these samples. They have the knowledge to give nutritional and anti-parasitic advice, and they can demonstrate how to clean ears, trim nails and administer medications including subcutaneous fluids. They are multi-tasking professionals!
