As a registered veterinary technician at Pine Grove, your day will start at 8 a.m. You will support the DVM in surgery, monitoring anesthesia and patient vitals and will be in charge of discharge appointments for your surgical patients at the end of the day. You will speak to the clients about their pets before the doctor goes in to examine them, you will take TPR’s and perform initial assessments. You will perform cytology for itchy, scratchy, weepy skin and ears and will draw blood and give vaccinations. Taking x-rays, performing dentals and providing laser therapy sessions will also be a part of your routine, as well as lots of other fun stuff! Of course, you will spend a fair bit of time talking to clients both on the phone and in person, sharing your wealth of knowledge and helping them to manage their pets’ healthcare. You will use Avimark but don’t worry; if you’re not familiar, we will teach you in no time flat!
