Nurse Services
At Coastal Pet Vet, we empower nurses to provide basic health care services to you and your pet. This enables lowering costs of care and ensuring long term care is provided in an efficient manner under the direction and guidance of the attending veterinarian. Whether it is application of flea and worm treatments or injections of medications such as Beransa, Synovan, Cytopoint or Solensia, our team of nurses are here to help any way they can.
Veterinary nurses work alongside our veterinarians to deliver high-quality medical treatment, preventive healthcare, surgical assistance, emergency care and client education. Our veterinary nursing team is dedicated to supporting your pet’s health and wellbeing at all stages of their lives.
Veterinary nurses at Coastal Pet Vet perform essential clinical procedures including basic health assessments, patient triage, vital sign monitoring, wound management, medication administration, intravenous fluid therapy, blood sample collection, laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging support. Our experienced nurses assist with radiography, ultrasound preparation, pathology testing, and disease management protocols to help achieve accurate diagnoses and effective treatment outcomes.
Surgical nursing is a core component of veterinary nursing services. Veterinary nurses prepare patients for surgery, maintain sterile surgical environments, monitor anaesthesia, assist veterinarians during procedures, and provide post-operative care. Advanced anaesthesia monitoring, pain management, recovery support, and surgical patient observation ensure the highest standards of veterinary care and patient safety.
Emergency and critical care nursing services are available for animals experiencing trauma, illness, injury, poisoning, respiratory distress, or other urgent medical conditions. Veterinary nurses are trained in emergency patient stabilization, intensive care monitoring, life-support techniques, and critical care management, helping to improve survival rates and recovery outcomes.
Our commitment to animal welfare, veterinary excellence, infection control, patient advocacy, and compassionate care ensures that every animal receives professional treatment in a safe and supportive environment. Through continuous professional development, advanced clinical skills and evidence-based veterinary practices, veterinary nurses contribute significantly to animal health, disease prevention, and quality patient outcomes.
