Pets that require general monitoring, for example, those with non-critical conditions that require hospitalization, will be watched closely by a technician, who will work in conjunction with the attending vet and a member of the patient-care team to ensure that the pet remains stable and continues to recover steadily.
They will assess each patient’s respiratory rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs at pre-determined times, communicating any concerns or needs with the rest of the team.
