What is a Vet Tech. or RVT? A veterinary technician is a person trained and licensed to assist the veternarian. Their job is similar to that of a registered nurse(RN). They are working directly with a veterinarian, executing the procedures requested and needed to diagnose and treat animals. Veterinary technicians are very different from veterinary assistants. Veterinary assistants are there to aid technicians, but they do not have a license, which is needed in most states by law, to perform specific procedures. An assistant has not gone through the classes and requirements for an associates degree in veterinary technology. The education a licensed technician receives is in depth and crucial for medical understanding and to give proper health care.
At what age can I have my pet spayed or neutered? Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 4-6 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also a pre-anesthetic blood screen is recommended prior to undergoing anesthesia and surgery. What is the pre-anesthetic blood screening? This is a blood test that is run here in the clinic prior to surgery. It tests the organ functions, blood counts and clotting function of your pet. The pre-anesthetic blood screening is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery. How long do the sutures stay in after my pet's surgery? Do you board pets? |
