Special Career Skills
"As a vet-tech, you have to wear several hats. I perform the duties of a radiologist, anesthesiologist, dental hygienist, nurse and even occasionally perform surgeon like tasks like suturing incisions or wounds.
Thorough knowledge of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and biology are required to maintain proficiency and are attained through schooling at a reputable college."
Benefits of My Career
"Variety is one of the best benefits of my profession, I get to participate in a variety of procedures and work with a variety of animals.
It is very satisfying to help a creature in need and I enjoy getting to witness the progress of animals as they recover due to our treatment. It is very fulfilling to help something which cannot help itself. Motivation: “Growing up on a small horse ranch, I have always had a desire to be around animals and to help them in any way that I can. I believe that helping animals is a very noble cause and is one we can trace back to our ancestors who depended on animals for survival. Being involved in the treatment of injured animals as well a preventive medicine for others is very satisfying."
“Any obstacle can be overcome; achievement is merely the marriage of dreams and labor. Economic conditions, ethnicity, and every other factor cease to matter when the life of an animal is on the line; a Native girl from a small farm in Nebraska can be in an intense operating room assisting an emergency surgery on a millionaire’s horse.”
