I was a kennel worker for the first couple of months, but I was also a vet tech in training. I learned where every vaccine was administered on the dog, either in the hind leg or the left shoulder. I learned how to set up fecal tests and also read and set up heartworm testing. I learned how to set up an ear cytology. Overall, I could possibly learn.
I would take care of the boarders in the kennels, which are dogs and cats, but I would mostly help with surgeries and dentals. I would write down the dogs' vitals and administer vaccines. Fill out medications talk to clients help with reception
Per my college course, I obtained hours for school. The day's work varied and depended on the horse's visit. I assisted the veterinarian by providing him with proper medical supplies, as well as helping with X-rays.
