🐾💊 It’s U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week!
This week, we celebrate the essential role Veterinary Technicians play in protecting our patients, our clinics, and our community from antimicrobial resistance.

Vet techs are on the front lines every day—helping ensure antibiotics are used safely, appropriately, and responsibly. Their contributions include:

🔬 Monitoring patients to ensure antibiotics are truly needed
💉 Administering medications accurately and educating clients on correct use
🧫 Supporting diagnostics that guide targeted therapy
📋 Helping implement hospital antimicrobial stewardship protocols
🗣 Communicating with pet owners to prevent misuse

Every dose matters—and so does every technician who helps safeguard the future of effective medicine. 💙

Let’s give a huge shoutout to the Vet Techs leading the charge in responsible antibiotic use!

Just like people, pets can also get infections that need to be treated with antibiotics. When your pet is sick, be sure to talk to your veterinarian about antimicrobial resistance and using antibiotics and antifungals only when needed to prevent risk to your pets. https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/antibioticresistance/animal/abxpetfs.pdf
