Us veterinarian‘s aren’t just ordinary veterinarian‘s, we are

veterinarian‘s that only treat and help reindeer‘s. We help


prepare them before winter begins so that we are aware of
any medical conditions that may cause them not to fly, or
not being able to survive the cold winter in the North Pole.
We usually have a list that we have to do before telling
Santa which reindeer‘s are in good shape and health to fly
on Christmas Day. In addition, we also provide daily
vitamin’s and we always do a physical check up.
Listen to the reindeer’s lungs and heart
Check the reindeer’s gait, and weight
Exam the reindeer’s eyes for signs of excessive tearing,
discharge, redness, cloudiness, or eyelid issues
Check the reindeer’s coat for overall condition, abnormal
hair loss, or dandruff
Exam the reindeer’s nails and feet for damage or signs of a
more serious health condition
Look at the reindeer’s ears for signs of bacterial infection,
ear mites, wax build-up, or polyps
Exam the condition of the reindeer’s teeth for any
indications of periodontal disease, damage, or decay
Check reindeer’s skin for a handful of problems such as
parasites, dryness, lumps, and bumps (specifically in skin
folds)
Palpat reindeer’s abdomen to access the internal organs to
see if they appear normal and to check for signs of
discomfort

calves.
After our checkup, I would call
Santa to let him know which
reindeer‘s are healthy and trained
well to be able to fly on Christmas
night. We usually do this when the
reindeer’s are in well condition and
if some reindee’s aren’t ready yet, we
still continue to give them
treatments, vitamin, and more
trainin.
