It’s May! Which means it’s Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month (VNAM)

This is a time to spread the word about the important role of the Veterinary Nurse in practice and a time to appreciate the hard work of our RVN’s.
🥳 This year marks 20years of celebrating this in the month of May.

RVN’s provide skilled, supportive care for patients under the veterinary surgeons care.
📌Did you know?
💚In order to become qualified our nurses undertake 2-4 years of training and have to pass written & practical exams as well as clinical assessments.
📌Some of the roles of the RVN are:
💚Monitoring anaesthetics
💚Applying bandages
💚Administering medications & intra venous fluid therapy under the Veterinary Surgeons instruction
💚Carrying out nurse consultations such as weight checks, post op wound checks, nail clips & 2nd vaccinations
💚Preparing patients for surgical procedures
💚Assisting with operations
💚Assisting during emergency procedures
💚Carrying out lab tests such as blood & urine analysis
💚Dispensing medications
And much, much more!

We will share a selection of our nurses with you over the month (those that aren’t camera shy 😊)💚

Tommy the Maine Coon recently visited our Tonbridge branch for his neutering procedure. He weighed in at almost 6kgs 😳 but wasn’t too big for cuddles with Head Vet, Abi & Head Nurse Sophie 🤗🥰

Tubbs is a 9 month old cat owned by one of our auxiliary nurses, Lilly.
A bouquet of flowers were brought into their house and before the owners could dispose of them Tubbs managed to get to the flowers and rubbed against the pollen.

The entire Lilly plant is toxic to cats, even the water in the vase. Just a small amount of pollen licked from the fur can cause fatal kidney failure and the effects can be quite rapid.
It was unknown whether Tubbs had definitely ingested any or not but the decision was made to treat her as a precautionary measure due to the potential risk.

Tubbs was admitted to the hospital for blood tests in order to monitor her kidney values and intravenous fluid therapy for 48 hours in order to support her kidneys.

Tubbs remained bright throughout her hospital stay with us and we are pleased to report that after 48hours her kidney values had remained normal, she was discharged home with no further complications.

I would like to thank the vet Bruce McLeary, and all the nurses at Meopham vets for all their quick and caring response, to my bitch Misty who had an emergency caesarian today and looked after my bitch and her pups fantastically thank you to you all

Ms Sankey

To all pet owners looking for the very best in vet advice and care then book your pet in here, we have used The Swanscombe & Meopham Surgeries since 2006 after re-homing our Sophie from Cats Protection & the rest of her life was never free from health problems. When Sophie had to stay in at the vets I visited her daily & the cages were spotless, clean blankets & nurses on continual attendance. We can't say enough about all the staff, they treated her like a part of their family.

Maureen & Tom Partridge

Thank you to all at Meopham Veterinary Hospital for looking after Ted & Hector as well as if they were your own puppies. I always know that they will get the best care, and am sure Ted would not be here at all if it weren't for you guys. Ted & Hector are the light of our lives, so your exemplary care of them is, to us, priceless. Thank you.

The Robinson family

Great skills, great care, great service and understanding.

I have been a client, with my various dogs, since 1999 and can honestly say that I have been totally satisfied with Meopham Vets throughout this time. The care and consideration shown to our dogs has been amazing. I usually try to see Martin as I have known him so long, but I have no objection to seeing any of the vets as they all have the same qualities, especially Bruce. The nurses are all wonderful and over the years I have become close to some of them and have watched as they have developed their careers under the guidance of Martin. The reception / office staff are brilliant too and I have never had a problem getting appointments. The out of hours service is second to none. My dogs throughout their lives have been looked after and loved by all the staff and when it has come to the final goodbyes they and I have been treated with amazing sensitivity and kindness. In a nutshell, I could not recommend this practice highly enough.

Mrs Bateman

A big thank you for looking after our pets over the years, all 22 of them! We think you can all perform miracles. In sad times the impossible cannot always we done but you have all given us the strength and helped us to cope once again. Thank you all.

Mrs Kinch

Service is always the best. Everyone cares for your pet as if it's their own.

Mrs Parker

Absolutely first class care, always.

Mrs Hocking

Freddie has completed 10 hydrotherapy sessions following TPLO surgery to repair his ruptured cruciate ligament. Freddie is now back to his normal self and has regained his strength which exceeded all our expectations. He has suffered with bad skin for years and we were worried that the sessions would have a detrimental effect however his skin has never been better! He now enjoys coming into the vets and he adores hydrotherapist Amy! We are thrilled with his progress and would thoroughly recommend hydrotherapy to others.

Mrs Cooper

Thank you all on behalf of ESSW for the wonderful care and superb treatment that Eesha has received over the last weeks. She is such a lovely girl and truly deserved every bit of it!
