"Stick" to a medication schedule

Article

Stick it to heartworm-not veterinary patients.

'Stick' to a medication schedule

With multiple family members—both two-legged and four-legged—on medications, our veterinary clients often forget whether once-a-day meds are to be taken at night or in the morning. To solve this problem at home—as well as at the practice—we put large moon stickers on the lids of evening medications and sunshine stickers on the lids of the morning medications.

Reusable travel sheets to the rescue

We laminate our travel sheets. Using a wet-erase marker, we make our notes, then wipe the sheet clean and start over with the next client. This solution saves us a ton of paper and money.

Tie up loose ends with tires

I collect old inner tubes from tire stores, then cut them into circular strips, making huge rubber bands. I place the bands around the top end of my surgery table and treatment tables, holding anesthesia tubes, cords, clippers, and more in place. It's a great way to recycle.
