Underwater Experts: RVTs in the World of Fish Health

In this episode, “Underwater Experts: RVTs in the World of Fish Health”, Nora Toney RVT joins our hosts to talk about what it’s like being a Registered Veterinary Technician that works with fish. We learn what an RVT’s role is in animal health, why they are an essential part of the animal health team, and what a day in the life of a fish RVT looks like. Christine and Nora talk about their experiences as RVTs, how the role can be challenging but also incredibly rewarding, and just plain nerd out about veterinary care for fishes. The month of October is RVT Month in Canada, and the third week of October is National Veterinary Technician Week in the USA. We wish all credentialed technicians an incredible month, and all the best in your essential, diverse roles as part of the animal health team. Keep up the amazing work. This podcast is brought to you by the foxface rabbitfish. The foxface rabbitfish possess a name that seems like an oxymoron. After all, foxes eat rabbits. But the foxface rabbitfish refuses to be labeled. It swims around proudly, displaying its venomous spikes as if to say, “what are you going to do about it human? After all, you named me. In reality, I look more like a yellow raccoon. So whose fault is that?” Cheers to you, foxface rabbitfish, and we’re sorry for naming you. Thanks for listening to Gettin’ Fishy With It!
