Mentor Meeting

I switched mentors and I am shadowing the vet at Spruce Pet Hospital. I'm learning from both vets, the nurses, and the owner of Spruce Pet. I bring in dogs and/or cats as well as their owners into the rooms and take their information and check the pet's weight then list the reason for their visit. I also take calls and messages as well as file their papers. I clean out the rooms and help the vet with the evaluation of the pet. I help hold the pets and see how the vet takes blood or gives them shots. I also do a lot of the paperwork for the patient that is visiting. I am learning the medication that certain dogs get and how they are treated. I have also seen a dog get an x-ray which was pretty simple. All the dog did was lay down on a table while the lights were off and got his x-ray done. I'm learning various things from all the staff at Spruce Pet and they have really welcomed me to the hospital.
