What are the pros and cons of working as a Veterinary Technician?

Good morning!

As you might have figured, I am a Veterinarian Technician (shocker, I know, haha) and I truly LOVE what I do. Often, there are days where I literally feel as though I need to pinch myself because there is no way I am blessed enough to have the best job in the world!

I will answer your questions to the best of my ability, however, feel free to contact me if you have any further questions, OK?

1) I have been working as a Veterinarian Technician for several years. Time flies when you are having fun! In all seriousness though, there is not a day that goes by where I do not learn something new. That is the beauty of my career... I am constantly learning, there are constantly changes in the field, and we are constantly coming up with new techniques to save/help our patents. It is exciting!

2) Like's: (in no specific order)

- The obvious: working directly with animals. 99% of my time is spent with the furry kids. Whether I am administering vaccines, drawing blood, aministering fuids, restraining, anesthezing, intubating, assisting in surgery, performing cystos, suturing, expressing anals (yum), clipping nails, performing dentals, taking vitals, etc... I am responsible for our patients.

- Client-tech relationship (it is a very nice feeling when clients call the office and specifically ask for you!). I believe it is extremely important to establish strong relationships with your clients. They are trusting you with the well-being and safety of their 'baby'. I always, always, always make sure to go that extra mile in talking to our clients, answering any questions, explaining what I am doing step-by-step, and really making myself availiable at all times. It is critical to gain their trust. I am the comedian around the office, so I am always the one making everyone smile, it is really important to be down to earth. People want to be able to relate to you.

- SURGERY! Surgery is my niche. I love surgery! I spend most of my time in surgery. Which brings me to my next point, find a focus and constantly take courses to continue your education in your 'speciality'. I have great interest in surgery and pathology (it is SO interesting!), so I take several courses a year based on my interests. Not only do you learn a whole lot, but the vets really respect and acknowledge you when you are going 'above and beyond' (by taking courses, attending lectures, mentoring students, for example). I always take the new information I gather from these experiences and present them in staff meetings, ezpecially if there is something I believe we could all benefit from. For instance, I attended a few lectures on the uses and benefits of a laser machine for our office. I presented all my information and worked hard to get the veterinarians involved... and about 2 months later our practice purchased a laser machine! Everyone loves it and we use it atleast every single day in surgery. Everything from wound repair, to gum repair, to declaws, to cropping ears. Makes the surgeries a LOT easier on our patients. Less blood loss, less pain, less recovery... happier us!

- Lab work, I love running lab work. We run everything (blood work, urine analysis, cultures, sensitivities, fecal flotations, etc.) in house, so it is a wonderful experience. It is extremely interesting and rewarding to be able to diagnose!

3) Dislike's: (in no specific order, again)

- Euthanasias. I ALWAYS request to be present in assist in the room. That is something I need to do. Usually I am crying just as hard to harder than the owner, but I feel as though I need to be there to offer my experiences, support, and I like to make sure everything is done just how I would like it if it was my animal. Some techs bag too quickly or rough and THAT bothers me, so the vets know I am the one in the room. I treat those animals as if they were my own. Especially considering my good relationships with clients they often ask if I can be a part of it, because I have been such a big part in their pets life. As hard as euths are, you do feel at peace afterwards. (This is important: my office will only euth a pet in PAIN, we are not one of those vet practices that will euth anything claiming animals are property. It is really going to be up to you whether or not this is something you will be looking for when you start applying to hospitals.) You know the animal was begging to cross into Heaven, they DO get a look in their eyes when it is time. All vets and techs can tell you this. When it is time, we know by looking into their eyes.

- Clients, some clients are going to piss you off, make you want to scream, and make you want to take their animal away from them. It is the clients who refuse treatment or are just jerks and don't believe their pet deserves care. You will see EVERYTHING, like it or not. I have called Animal Control several times on clients and have refused to return their pets to them. I have even called the police on clients. You do what you have to do to protect your patients. I have been threatened, swore at, yelled at.. you name it. You need thick skin and need to know when to bite your lip!!

- Anals, blood, vomit, diarrhea, urine, puss, etc. Be prepaired to wear one or all of the above each day! :) Bring a change of clothes always!!!

4) Get ready for the emotional roller coaster :) Some techs have 'trained' themselves to not get emotionally envolved (or maybe they just don't care, who knows) and just keep going on like nothing has happened. That is NOT me. Again, I really put myself in clients shoes and I cannot help but feel what they are going through. For me, this makes me a better technician. It makes me more driven, more determined, and more proactive.

5) It is a lot of work, but a lot more fun! My best advice would be to find a hospital/veterinarians that have the same beliefs, morals, and values that you do. I am very lucky to work in a hospital with the best veterinarians that feel the same way I do. Also, go to school... a 4 year college and then take your boards to be a LVT. You can always fall back on your bachelors degree from college if the whole Vet Tech thing does not work out. I went to college and graduated with a double major in Biology and Chemistry. Also, because of my degrees (I also went back for a masters degree) I had a much easier time finding a job (I was the one who was able to be 'picky') and am the highest paid tech at my work.

I wish you the best of luck in your new adventure!!!

Anthrax in the World?

Hanna Yu - Anthrax is a rare infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax occurs naturally around the world in wild and domestic hoofed animals, especially cattle, sheep, goats, camels and antelopes. It can also occur in humans when they are exposed to the bacterium, usually through handling animals or animal hides. There are three forms of anthrax infection: cutaneous (skin), inhalation (lungs) and gastrointestinal (stomach and intestine). If people have been intentionally exposed, as in a bioterrorist release, contact with skin would be the most likely route of exposure. Breathing in the spores that have been spread through the air could cause inhalation anthrax.

Anthrax can be found around the world. It is most common in agricultural regions where it occurs in animals. It is more common in developing countries or countries without veterinary public health programs. Anthrax is reported more often in some regions of the world (South and Central America, Southern and Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East) than in others. It has been extremely rare in the United States in recent decades, and until cases in Florida and New York City in 2001, has been limited to the cutaneous (skin) form. When anthrax affects humans, it is usually due to an occupational exposure to infected animals or their products. However, anthrax is considered to be one of a number of potential agents for use in biological terrorism.

Anthrax is usually spread in the form of a spore. (A spore is a dormant form that certain bacteria take when they have no food supply. Spores can grow and cause disease when better conditions are present, as in the human body.) Anthrax is generally spread in one of three ways. Most persons who are exposed to anthrax become ill within one week but can take as long as 42 days for inhalation anthrax. Symptoms usually develop between one and seven days after exposure but prolonged periods up to 42 days for cutaneous (skin) anthrax and 60 days for inhalation anthrax are possible, though rare. Inhalation (lung) anthrax is not spread from person to person. Even if you develop symptoms of inhalation anthrax, you are not contagious to other persons. If you develop cutaneous (skin) anthrax, the drainage from an open sore presents a low risk of infection to others. The only way cutaneous (skin) anthrax can be transmitted is by direct contact with the drainage from an open sore. Anthrax is not spread from person to person by casual contact, sharing office space or by coughing and sneezing.

There are several antibiotics that are used successfully to treat anthrax. Treatment is highly effective in cases of cutaneous (skin) anthrax and is effective in inhalation and gastrointestinal anthrax if begun early in the course of infection. The United States has a large supply of these antibiotics and can quickly manufacture more if needed.
