Busy night....

It was another busy night at ABVC. There were surgical patients to discharge, boarding cats to feed and of course the hospitalized patients to medicate and take care of. Tonight we sent home a beautiful 18 year old cat that had been with us for the past 48 hours. He had developed some kidney problems which we successfully treated using intravenous fluid therapy (yes, this poor old boy had to be put on a drip!). He went home happily tonight with his family who had missed him terribly. It's great to be able to send home sick patients, that we've helped get better! Just one of the many perks of being a Veterinary Nurse :)
