Vet tech here: Great video! Also, you are only as good at drawing blood if you have a really good restrainer, especially for difficult patients. Also, sedation can be your friend if the animal is too stressed and poses a threat to staff (provided they have had a medical workup and doc approves it is safe to use).
Hey there! Those are also great tips, specially for feisty feral cats.
We always joke that if you can't get the blood, blame the holder 😂 haha Glad you enjoyed the video!
I cried while doing my first attempt at drawing blood today!! This is helpful 😭
I was touching my cats throat to find her veins and she thought i was petting her and started to purr
I love this video, very helpful! I'm still so nervous drawing
You are alway so sweet Michele 🥰 and practice makes perfect, don’t be aftraid, and you will be okay!
These tips are very helpful so I can get better at blood draws! I actually got to bring my dog to the hospital I’m doing my internship at and practiced drawing blood on her for the first time 💜💕
Well I’m glad they could help you out! 😊💕 Congrats on learning how to draw blood! It’s a fun journey 🎉
Im starting vet tech school in the fall and i cant wait! Thanks for all your tips! Id love to hear more
Madi Pawsey Thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed 😁💕
This is really helpful cause since I'm going into this field I want to know how to do it correctly!
Sarah Jones I’m glad it could help! Wishing you the best!🎉
I work in shelter medicine and we tend to use the cephalic vein more often and I’ve only drawn blood once! I did okay but was too nervous to do it again but I’m so in love with learning to be a vet tech! I graduate in 2020!! :)
Well good for you!!! It is such a rewarding field, you will enjoy every second of it 😊 thank you for watching!

I sure do! It’s Brendas500cats 😊 And thank you very much! It really means a lot 💕
Youre so good at explaining I enjoyed watching this, thanks ! I might start making vidoes too
Your dog is so good, mine would probably be under the third "F" and bite me 😂
Haha Cody is one of the best doggos, I’m a lucky girl 😂
You HAVE to do a video with Jamie and the gang and do a MUKBANG And A . Pizza and wings ? I think YES
YES please do it that with answering questions
You guys are adorable 😂 who knows! I’ll ask if that’s something they are interested in!
you guys should so a veterinary questions answers together, I like the idea
Hi I work at a cat hospital only training as a tech and have been having difficulty with the medial saphenous veins (dr wants me to pull only from there with butterfly catheters). Seems easy enough but I have not been able to get any blood flash back at all! I palpate and locate the vein but have trouble puncturing the right spot to get that blood flashback. I usually do a 15 degree angle of the needle to the skin and my VA’s hold them in lateral recumbency great (makes me even more embarrassed I can’t get it since the cat wasn’t even moving around). I’m currently in tech school and pretty much followed all the venipuncture steps… any advice ?
Thanks for the advice will use it today !!💕
Anytime! Glad it could help :)
Bevel up!
Another amazing video!!!!! you are too funny Brenda lol
Thank you Josie 💕 I try i try haha
Very good this video, I discovered this channel today, and I love it
Awe Thank you so much!! It really means a lot 😊💕 I love making these vet tech vlogs!
Wonderful video. Please for the love of god, no syringe cap holding with teeth or in your mouth.
More videos with your sister!
What if you want to humanely euthanize your pet but can't afford to pay a vet to do it or "supervise" you to do it?
What syringe was use in the video of her removing blood ?
You said you usually just use medial/lateral saph veins on feisty animals…I would STRONGLY encourage for general practice blood draws, you use hind leg veins(and jug) before using front legs! Save front leg veins for last if possible-as front legs are best for IV Caths and you never know if that pet may have an emergency in the next few days. When I worked ER for many years nothing frustrated me more than GP techs blowing cephalic veins for BGs and 4dx/blood draws so they would need a hind leg IV. We all know hind leg IVs are a pain in the ass because they can be so positional and high pressure alarms go off every 5 minutes. Save those cephalic veins for last if your patient will tolerate saph/jug, because you never know when an emergency IV will be necessary!
if an animal is fluffy, ask to shave the area, that's what my baby's vet do and he's good at his job (not a vet) also my cat is a feisty one
Thank you, gracia's.
Thank you for posting! Great idea about practicing getting comfortable using the syringe! What size syringe is used?
Emmy Lou I would practice with both a 1cc and 3cc syringe, those are the ones we use the most!
@@Brendavstwo Only need small amount of blood to check my dog's glucose. He's about 28lbs... Btw, can I get syringes from Walmart, or is there a special vet kind to use? Thanks for reply!
I’m new to this field but I gotta say I love your eyes!
I'm currently In blood drawing training.I have the sephalic down but when it comes to the jugular I bomb everytime it's so discouraging. Watching and listening as I practice with the syringe.I will keep trying wish me luck
Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos!
Great Video I liked the syringe tip, its a good idea .
Thank you Kota! You are always so nice !
LOL I send a syringe home with all the new people I am training to get the hand movement down and establish muscle memory to the movement.
How do I get my draws to not hemolyze every time?? I notice if I use a 20g the chances of my pulls hemolyzing goes down, but every. single. time. I use a 22g, I get hemolyzed blood. Even if I hit it on the first try and don’t dig around for the vein. I don’t understand!
Searched for the how to then thumbnail drew me in with those eyes
thank you for this video lol. Am new to all this...am training under a veterinarian to get my vet experience hours. going to do my first jug blood draw tom and I am pretty nervous lol. The thing that gets me the most is "what if I hurt the animal" but I guess the rest is good.
thanks!
When trying to obtain a blood sample, is the restrainer a crucial aspect of being able to feel the vein?
My problem is, blowing the vein. Everything is fine and I'm finished. I use the cephalic vein. When it's time to remove the needle, bam, the area swells up. What am I doing wrong? I should mention, I'm at the local humane society, testing for heart worms/Cat Aids and Leukemia. Not a vet technician.
Do you have someone holding off the draw site really well for you after drawing? For a short period of time after you’ve removed the needle, it’s crucial to have firm pressure on the area to prevent blowing
very helpful tips! I am in the learning to draw blood stage too and very nervous.
I’ve always drawn from a cephalic vein for HW test at the shelter I worked at but now that I’m working at an animal hospital I have to draw from the jugular so we can save the cephalic in case of hospitalization and I suck at it so far😩
Im in the exact same boat as you 😭😭 i always hit the cephalic/medial saphenous. It's a great day when i can actually hit the jugular 🤧🤧
are you wearing contacts or are your eyes this cool 👀😫🙌👀
I don’t think this color is possible 😂 my eyes are a super dark shade of brown, these contacts are prescription so I use them to see and add a little bang! Haha
Were you our dogs vet
Nice information
thank you
I'm 14 I want to be a vet and go to college for how ever long it takes to be a vet I have autism I have a service dog and I cant wait to help animals
it's about 4 yrs bachelors (major in animal sciences, microbiology, biochemistry, etc) 4 yrs of vet school, and then residency
@@pepi1430 thank you
Just a phlebotomist here with a question. When y'all draw blood on pets do you normally not have on gloves and cover the draw site without gauze or is that just what happened for the demonstration video?
No gloves or gauze! Lol at least what I’ve seen while being at a vet and helping medical
Gauze and wrapped after pressure but it’s just your fingers holding the pressure first
you are definitely supposed to use gloves but a lot of techs don’t unfortunately
I totally used the syringe tip when I was learning 😹 great tips girl !!
Same here girly 😊👍🏻 Thank you so much !

Please don't take an actual syringe with you to school, please God, just don't. She's holding one without a needle but they don't all come that way
