5ft of Vet Tech

Pet care experience

I’m am an undergraduate at the university of Rhode Island with a bachelors in Preveterinary Science - with the dreams of becoming an emergency criticality/ exotics specialist. Right now, I am a veterinary technician with years of professional experience in handling/restraint, medicating and caring for a variety of different species (dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles and aquatics); Ive grown up surrounded by many animals and I currently have a dog, 7 cats (one is a blind kitten), a cockatoo parrot and three chinchillas. When it comes to loving animals, there is no shortage here. I also have experience with geriatric animals (using slings to assist with walking, experience expressing bladders, orally medicating, bathing, etc). I also do standard hygiene tasks such as ear cleanings, nail trims, and teeth brushing! I may be small, but nothing can’t stop anyone with a big heart.

Information Nikki R. would like to know about your pet

Would love to be made aware of any medical needs/ if the pet takes any medication(s). Would also like to know if the pet has any allergies (environmental or food), and also if the pet is friendly or has any behavioral specifications.

A typical day

I like to go for walks around residential areas and will go through trails as long as the dog is on some sort of tick preventative!
