By the end of this episode, you'll feel more confident caring for these patients. --- 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com/podcast  --- 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing: http://www.veterinaryinternalmedicinenursing.com --- 📲 Follow me on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/vetinternalmedicinenursing --- 🎶 Get Free by Hotham https://soundcloud.com/hothammusic  Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 🎨 Cover art: @amyfarmerdigitalartist --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and the content within it is provided for information only.
