Becoming a vet is the materialised childhood dream of Dr Monika Stefanova. And her clinic, Lozenets Vet Clinic, is the materialised dream of owners who seek for their pets impeccable medical care combined with sincere love. The clinic offers all healthcare-related services needed for keeping a cat or a dog in top condition – comprehensive clinical examinations, surgery, deworming, dentistry, dermatology, lab testing at the clinic's premises and preparation of individual eating regimes. Dr Stefanova shares more.

What made you fall in love with the veterinary profession?

I have adored animals since early childhood. Animals teach us unconditional love. The profession itself is hard and demanding – from studying, which is by no means easy, to the very essence of our work. This is a profession that demands dedication, care, attitude and patience. However, the very idea that you can help, that you spend all day long surrounded by animals, that each day, challenge and patient is different, that you have managed to heal a patient and to calm its owner, that you have been of service – all of these are invaluable.

How your love is reflected in Lozenets Vet Clinic?

At Lozenets Vet Clinic we are sticklers for the attitude, approach, care and attention to the patients. We always go the extra mile to make them feel at ease, to give them the time and calm they need, to treat and to pet them. For us, it is crucial that they trust us and feel calm in our clinic. We explain everything to the owners in great detail, because we can do our job properly only if they are informed and provide proper care at home. This is why many of our patients are happy when they visit us, wagging their tails, despite the fact that we have performed many manipulations on them. For us this is crucial, and we do everything in our power to minimise the patient's stress.

Our team spends a lot of time attending courses, seminars and congresses. We also invest in modern equipment so that we can offer the best care to our patients.

We are happy when we see them only for prophylactic procedures and we do our best to help them stay healthy.

Dermatology is one of the fields you are interested in as a professional, and is also a focus in Lozenets Vet Clinic services. Why should we not underestimate the care for our pets' skin?

Skin is the largest organ in the dog and cat's bodies – depending on the animal's type and age, it makes from 12% to 24% of its body mass. Very often, skin symptoms are an indicator for serious systemic diseases such as kidney failure, hormonal diseases and many others.

Unfortunately, the number of patients with dermatological diseases is very high.

These diseases are often underestimated. They are persistent, hard to diagnose and their treatment requires a lot of time and patience, and sometimes – many visits to the vet.

My advice to the owners is to seek help from a vet as early as the first symptoms appear, especially if they notice itching, fur loss or skin redness.

Д-р Моника Стефанова: Обич и грижа за животните

Ветеринарна клиника "Лозенец" осигурява качествена медицинска помощ на домашните любимци

Ветеринарната професия е сбъднатата детска мечта на д-р Моника Стефанова. А основаната от нея Ветеринарна клиника "Лозенец" е сбъдната мечта на собствениците, които търсят за домашните си любимци безупречна медицинска грижа, съчетана с искрена обич. Клиниката предлага всички здравни услуги, необходими, за да бъде една котка или куче в отлична форма – пълен клиничен преглед, хирургия, обезпаразитяване, стоматология, дерматология, лабораторни изследвания на място, изготвяне на индивидуален хранителен режим. Д-р Стефанова разказва повече.

Какво Ви накара да се влюбите в професията на ветеринаря?

От съвсем ранна детска възраст обожавах животните. Животните ни учат на безусловна любов. Професията е доста тежка сама по себе си – от следването, което не е никак лесно, до самото естество на нашата работа. Това е професия, която иска отдаденост, грижа, отношение и търпение. Но идеята, че можеш да помогнеш, че по цял ден си сред животни, че всеки ден, предизвикателство и пациент е различен, че си успяла да излекуваш пациент, да успокоиш стопанина му, че си била полезна – всичко това е безценно.

Как тази Ваша обич е отразена във Ветеринарна клиника "Лозенец"?

Във Ветеринарна клиника "Лозенец" много държим на отношението, подхода, грижата и вниманието към пациентите. Винаги се стараем да ги предразположим, да им дадем нужното време и спокойствие, да ги почерпим и погалим. За нас е много важно те да ни имат доверие и да са спокойни. Подробно обясняваме всичко на стопаните, защото за нашата работа е важно и те да са информирани и да полагат правилните грижи у дома. Затова много наши пациенти идват с радост при нас, въртейки опашка, независимо, че сме им правили много манипулации. За нас това е много важно и държим да минимизираме стреса на пациента.

Екипът ни отделя много време за курсове, семинари и конгреси. Инвестираме и в съвременна апаратура, за да предложим най-добрата грижа за пациентите ни.

Щастливи сме, когато ги виждаме само за профилактични процедури и се стараем да помогнем да са здрави.

Дерматологията е сред Ви професионалните интереси – и е един от фокусите на Ветеринарна клиника "Лозенец". Защо не трябва да подценяваме грижата за кожата на любимците си?

Кожата е най-големият орган на тялото на кучето и котката – от 12% до 24% от телесното тегло на животното в зависимост от вида и възрастта му. Много често кожните симптоми са индикатор и на сериозни системни заболявания като бъбречна недостатъчност, хормонални заболявания и редица други.

Броят на пациенти с дерматологични заболявания за съжаление е много голям.

Много често биват и подценявани. Упорити са, трудни за диагностика, изискват много време и търпение, а понякога – и много посещения при лекар.

Съветвам стопаните да търсят помощ от лекар при първи симптоми, особено ако забележат сърбеж, загуба на козина или зачервявания по кожата.
