Veterinary Continuing Education

Thursday, June 24th, 2010
Professional Continuing Education is an important part of the ongoing practice of veterinary medicine, and is also required by the Pennsylvania Board of Veterinary Medicine to maintain current licensure.
The clinical staff at the Mt. Nittany Veterinary Hospital work hard to keep up with current trends, techniques, and skills in veterinary practice by regularly participating in a variety of Continuing Education courses.  Dr. Rochelle Jones attended an Ultrasound Course at The Ohio State University on May 23rd, and Dr. Barb Eddy attended the two-day Annual Spring Meeting sponsored by the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association here in State College on May 26th and 27th.

Medication Refills

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
We routinely receive telephone calls for medication refills for our patients, and as we continue to move forward with our “electronic” presence on the web (www.mtnittanyvet.com), we are also receiving an increasing number of medication refill requests via our website!  We certainly hope that using our website adds simplicity and convenience, but whether you call or elect to use our website option, please allow 24 hours after submitting your request so that we can appropriately verify and refill your prescription as requested!  And we’ll do our best!
Thanks so much!

Tightrope ACL Repairs and Stifle Surgery

Monday, June 7th, 2010
The Mt. Nittany Veterinary Hospital is pleased to announce that we’re now performing the Tightrope Procedure for ruptured ACL’s (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) in the dog.  I attended the Arthrex Joint Stabilization Course in Las Vegas at the Western States Veterinary Conference this past February, and have since been working with Dr. Brian Bretz (Board Certified Surgeon at the Center for Animal Referral and Emergency Services in Langhorne, PA) to become comfortable and proficient with the procedure over the past couple of months.
I’m excited to be able to add this new procedure to the available procedures and services we can provide at the Mt. Nittany Veterinary Hospital, and look forward to continuing to learn new skills and procedures that will benefit our patients and clients!
