Helping at the ER

Many times we try not to think about what would happen in the event of an emergency to our pet. But we also know that it happens.

That is why the Tri County Animal Emergency center in Peoria is the area's only fully staffed animal ER in the area. There is a trained staff, and veterinarians whose job it is to work the ER. The nighttime ER is their full time job.

And sometimes the veterinarians need to go on vacation. So we colleagues who work with the ER clinic will 'pull a shift' and help them.

That is where I am tonight. Pulling Friday night ER duty.

So far... several bee stings, and one Hit by Car.

Use leashes when at all possible.

Thanks for 'tuning in'.
