🩺💤 Anaesthesia Monitoring
During any procedure requiring anaesthesia, your pet is carefully monitored by our highly trained veterinary nurses from start to finish. They continuously check vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and body temperature, adjusting anaesthetic levels as needed to keep your pet safe and comfortable throughout.

Our nurses are dedicated to providing constant attention and expert care, ensuring your pet is closely watched every moment while they rest and recover 🤍🐾

Happy Ormonde Nurse Month 🩺💙

Meet Sky, who came in to be spayed 🐱✨

Our nurses were with her every step of the way. From placing her cannula (giving safe access to administer anaesthetic medications and fluids), to gently giving her pre-med so she could relax before surgery.

Once asleep, she was carefully intubated to protect her airway and connected to our anaesthetic machine. Her surgical site was clipped and cleaned to maintain a sterile field and reduce infection risk.

Throughout the entire procedure, our nurses continuously monitored her heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, oxygen levels and temperature, she was never left unattended.

And of course, the most important part 🥰 post-op cuddles, warmth, and close monitoring while she recovered.

Our nurses play a huge role in keeping your babies safe, comfortable, and cared for at every stage 💙

Veterinary Nurses, the heartbeat of our hospital!
Our nurses wear many hats and spend years studying their craft, yet are so often overlooked. They are anesthesiologists, laboratory technicians, ICU nurses, nutrition advisors, and can even run consultations, not to mention expert cuddle-givers and comfort providers to your furry friends 🤍

This month, we’re shining a light on our incredible veterinary nurses and the consultations they offer, and showing how their knowledge and care can truly improve your pet’s quality of life.

🐾 Microchipping: A Small Chip That Makes a Big Difference 🐾
Did you know that microchipping is a legal requirement for all dogs in Ireland? 🇮🇪
Under Irish legislation, all dogs must be microchipped and registered — it’s not just recommended, it’s the law.
🔹 A microchip is a tiny, permanent form of ID
🔹 It greatly increases the chances of lost pets being reunited with their owners
🔹 It helps protect pets from theft and accidental rehoming
🔹 It ensures your details are linked to your pet on an approved database
While microchipping is not yet a legal requirement for cats, we strongly recommend it. Cats are excellent explorers, and a microchip can be the difference between a lost pet and a happy reunion 🐱💕
✨ Remember: It’s just as important to keep your contact details up to date on the microchip database — an outdated phone number can stop a reunion from happening.
If you’re unsure whether your pet is microchipped, needs to be registered, or if your details need updating, our team is happy to help.
📞 Get in touch or book an appointment today!
