🐾💙 The sweetest patient!

This handsome boy was neutered today by our faculty veterinarian, while our RVTs and Veterinary Technology students worked together to prepare the patient, administer and monitor anesthesia, and provide recovery care.

Experiences like these give our students invaluable hands-on training in anesthesia, surgical nursing, and patient care - all under the guidance of our experienced veterinary team.

And this sweet boy? He was the BEST patient! 🐶❤️

🐴 Hands-on learning starts early!

Our first-semester Veterinary Technology students get an introduction to equine handling and care before diving deeper into large animal medicine during their senior semester.

These experiences give our students valuable hands-on exposure while building confidence working with large animals. We are so grateful for our continued partnership with the Horse Protection League and for the opportunities they provide our students! 🐴❤️

🐄 We are so grateful to Christensen Ranch for welcoming our Veterinary Technology students and providing such a valuable hands-on learning experience!

Opportunities like this allow our students to take what they’ve learned in the classroom and apply it to real-world large animal care. A huge thank you to the Christensen Ranch team for sharing your time, animals, and expertise with our students! 🐾🐮 We love our community partners! ❤️ Community College of Denver

Earlier this month, Vet Tech students from the Community College of Denver made their way out to our neck of the woods to complete their lab on cattle. We had a great morning sharing our knowledge with this group of kids and were happy to see many of them show an interest in the large animal side of the veterinary industry!

Even though they spend quite a bit of time learning and talking about how to do these tasks, it is always fun to see them be able to get hands on experience. These kids were able to practice running the chute, giving an IV, administering a subcutaneous shot, using a balling gun, etc.
