Hi bloggers,
I recently have become more interested in blogs and have been keeping up with ER Veterinarians up here and I thought I would start one for technicians or aspiring ones. I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician in Virginia. I currently work at a referral emergency and specialty practice as well as at a zoo very part time. I have years of experience behind me in infectious disease research, academia, private practice as well as zoo and other. I love emergency and feed on the adrenaline that accompanies it. Currently the emergency practice only sees small animals such as Dogs and Cats. We see many great cases from infectious disease to hit by cars, gun shot wounds, and all in the middle. From the most critical patients to the easily managed, they are all special and require a deal of care and commitment from a team. I will likely post about interesting cases, decisions faced as a technician, some of my duties, my challenges faced on a daily basis, and answer any questions aspiring technicians or others may have regarding our field of vet medicine. Enjoy!
