🐾 Vet techs wear SO many hats! From drawing blood and placing IV catheters to intubating patients, maintaining anesthesia, monitoring blood transfusions, taking X-rays, performing dental cleanings, and managing ventilators, their skills go far beyond what meets the eye.

They’re skilled medical professionals, compassionate caregivers, and essential members of every veterinary team. This week, we’re celebrating all the incredible things vet techs do for our patients every single day! 💙

🔍 WHAT'S YOUR DIAGNOSIS?

Take a look at this Xray. Can you identify the abnormal structure?

The tubular structure above the windpipe (trachea) is the esophagus, or food pipe, and it is significantly dilated. This is not normal!

The endotracheal tube you see in the windpipe is helping protect the airway while this dog is under anesthesia. The enlarged structure above it is the esophagus.

So, what could cause this?

➡️ Megaesophagus is a condition where the esophagus becomes abnormally enlarged and has difficulty moving food and water toward the stomach. In some patients, megaesophagus can be a chronic, debilitating condition that may be permanent. In others, esophageal dilation can be temporary and associated with gastrointestinal disease, such as food bloat or gastric dilation and volvulus (GDV).

When the esophagus isn't functioning properly, food and water may not move normally into the stomach, increasing the risk of regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia, a potentially serious complication.

Did you know there’s a difference between a veterinary technician who is trained on the job and a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT)? 🎓

Licensed technicians complete an accredited veterinary technology program, pass the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE), and meet their state’s credentialing requirements.

Their education prepares them to take on complex responsibilities, from monitoring anesthesia and managing patient care to performing diagnostic procedures and supporting critical patients.

On-the-job training is valuable, and every member of the veterinary team plays an important role. But the education, examination, and credentialing behind a licensed technician deserve recognition, too!

This Vet Tech Week, we’re celebrating the knowledge, skill, and dedication that go into becoming a credentialed veterinary professional. 🩺

Today, tomorrow, and every ordinary day in between. 🐾

Our technicians show up for every patient with the same patience, whether it is a nervous cat, a wiggly puppy, or a senior dog who needs a little extra time. We are so grateful for them this National Veterinary Technician Week and always. 💙

Did you know that October is Black Cat Awareness Month.
Black cats are often linked with bad luck, witches, and calamity. They are often over looked in shelters and often spend more time in a shelter environment before being adopted. This month was started to try and reduce the stigma of black cats and also promote their adoption in shelters. We have several EMEVC family with black cats and find them to be adorable. If you are considering adoption, please consider a black cat this month!
