🐾💙 Vet Tech Week Spotlight: Meet Shelby! 💙🐾

Today we're shining the spotlight on another wonderful member of our Thompsonville Veterinary Clinic family — Shelby! ❤️

Shelby is one of our veterinary assistants, and let me tell you, her skills have been growing by leaps and bounds! It's been so rewarding watching her gain confidence, tackle new challenges, and continue to grow in her role.

Shelby is always willing to jump in, lend a hand, and learn something new. She's not afraid to step outside her comfort zone, and that willingness to learn is exactly what makes a great veterinary assistant! 🐶🐱

Her dedication doesn't stop at the clinic doors, either! Shelby is always willing to pitch in with community events and help represent our little clinic out in the community. 🐾

Now, Shelby may be a little on the quiet side, but don't let that fool you! Behind that quiet personality is a HUGE heart, especially when it comes to caring for our patients. ❤️ Sometimes the biggest hearts belong to those who don't say the most, but show how much they care through their actions.

Shelby, we're so proud of how much you've grown! Thank you for your willingness to learn, your dedication to our patients, and for always being ready to lend a helping hand. We can't wait to see how far you'll go!

🐾💕 Help us show Shelby some love this Vet Tech Week!

🐾 VET SPEAK: TPR 🐾

Ever hear the veterinary team say, “Let’s get a TPR” and wonder what they're talking about? 👀

TPR = Temperature, Pulse & Respiration 🌡️❤️🫁
These are three basic vital signs we check to help us quickly assess how your pet is doing.
🌡️ Temperature – Is it normal, too high, or too low?
❤️ Pulse – How fast and regularly is the heart beating?
🫁 Respiration – How fast and comfortably is your pet breathing?

It's one of the simplest checks we do—but it can tell us a LOT! 🐶🐱
Now you know a little more Vet Speak! 🩺🐾

🐾💙 Happy Veterinary Technician Week! 💙🐾

This week, we're celebrating the incredible veterinary nurses and assistants who give so much of themselves every single day to care for your fur babies! 🐶🐱❤️

What many people don't see is just how physically demanding and emotionally exhausting this profession can be. Our team spends long hours on their feet, comforting scared patients, assisting with surgeries, caring for sick and injured animals, and sometimes holding back their own tears while helping families through difficult moments.

They get covered in fur, slobber, scratches, and occasionally things we'd rather not mention! 😂 But they keep showing up because they genuinely love what they do and care deeply about every animal that comes through our doors. ❤️

Throughout this week, we'll be treating our amazing team to meals, snacks, and little tokens of appreciation to remind them just how much they mean to us!

We also want to give a HUGE thank-you to some of our wonderful sponsors who are helping us celebrate today and keep your fur babies healthy all year!

Royal Canin kicked off our week by providing breakfast for our team this morning! Royal Canin specializes in science-based, tailored nutrition for cats and dogs, including veterinary diets designed to support pets with specific health needs. Thank you for helping us start our celebration with full bellies and happy pets.

💝 And the celebrations won't stop there! We'll be sharing more treats, surprises, and appreciation throughout the week.

🐕 BREED SPOTLIGHT: SHIBA INU 🐕

Small, confident, and packed with personality—the Shiba Inu is one unforgettable little dog! ❤️

From Japan: The Shiba Inu is an ancient Japanese breed originally developed for hunting small game.
🦊 Fox-like looks: Their upright ears, curled tail, and expressive face give them their signature appearance.
😂 Big personality: Shibas are intelligent, independent, loyal, and sometimes hilariously dramatic. Ever heard of the famous “Shiba scream?” If you know, you know!

🩺 Health: Shibas are generally hardy but can be prone to allergies, kneecap problems (patellar luxation), hip issues, and certain eye conditions.

🧼 Fun fact: Shibas are known for being especially clean dogs and often spend time grooming themselves almost like cats!

Independent, adorable, and definitely not short on opinions—the Shiba Inu has a personality all its own. 🐾❤️

Any Shiba families out there? Tell us what you love about your little fox! 🦊🐕

🍰🐾 Happy National Dessert Day! 🐾🍩

Working in vet med is a lot like eating dessert…

Some days are a piece of cake. 🍰
Some days we're in a bit of a jam. 🍓
Sometimes the schedule is completely bananas. 🍌
And by 4:00 PM, we're all wondering if chocolate counts as a coping mechanism. 😂

Our patients have their own opinion on dessert too:
🐶 “I would also like cake.”
🐱 “I knocked it off the counter. Therefore, it's mine.”

Just remember—the human treats are for the humans! Chocolate, xylitol, raisins, and certain other dessert ingredients can be dangerous for pets.

So today, treat yourself to something sweet. You deserve it! ❤️🍪

Our power is back on! Thank you for your patience
