| Welcome! My name is Lily and I live at Largo Veterinary Hospital with Sully & Ollie. I was chosen to be your tour guide through the hospital, as I am known as a social butterfly.
|
 |
 |
Dr. Lutz started the practice over 20 years ago. I have only been a staff member since the summer of 2004, but Dr. Lutz does appreciate my teamwork efforts.
|
| When you first arrive at the hospital, a receptionist will greet you here at the counter.
|
 |
 |
After checking in, a receptionist will escort you and your pet into one of our 3 exam rooms.
|
| The exam rooms are well equipped. Most of the time I am probably waiting in one of the exam rooms to welcome you and your pet.
|
 |
 |
Cats and small dogs are weighed in the exam rooms while larger dogs are weighed in our waiting area. I am not going to tell you what I weigh because a girl should never tell.
|
| Amanda and Debbie are busy in our fully stocked pharmacy while I am off supervising activity in another area of the clinic. There is so much for me to do!
|
 |
 |
Just outside of our exam rooms is our laboratory and pharmacy area. Here I am helping Amanda one of our technicians read a fecal sample.
|
| Quite often, Dr. Lutz and I will review a patient's record. Here we confer in the treatment and dental area. This area is used for everything from drawing blood to surgery preparation to handling emergencies.
|
 |
 |
We have two oxygen cages that are thermostatically controlled recovery cages; the floors are warmed and make them nice and comfy.
|
| When I assist in surgery, I always remember to scrub up and wear my surgical cap, gown and gloves just like the nurses.
|
 |
 |
Did you know that a cat has 230 bones in its body and a human only has 206 bones? Maybe someone will take an x-ray of me in our radiology room.
|
| On our state of the art ultrasound-imaging machine, Dr. Lutz can see live functions of patient's organs. Ultrasound scanning is noninvasive and is usually painless.
|  |
| |
On a final note Ollie, Sully and I are going to take a nap as giving you this tour has worn us out. We hope you have enjoyed visiting our home and come to see us soon.
