Vet Techs and other dog related jobs?
Soo, i'm in th 8th grade. About 5 years till college. I would really like to have a job that i am passionate for, which is dogs.
I've heard Vet techs help the vets, weigh, take temps, sometimes help in surgeries, and other things like that. How much would you get paid for being a vet tech a year? Is it good pay? What other dog related jobs could you reccommend? I've heard grooming, training, helping kids, service dogs (handicapped, police, etc.), what are some other ones someone could live off of?
PS- im sorry, i know this question has been asked a million and 4 times, but none of them really have suitable answers >_<
It really depend where you live to be a vet tech. Some places only make $13/hour where others make $20/hour.
Common tasks performed by a veterinary technician include taking histories, providing treatment to routine problems, and giving counseling to clients. Technical skills include venipuncture, collecting urine, performing skin scrapings, performing routine lab procedures and tests in hematology, chemistry, microbiology, urinalysis, and serology. They assist the veterinarian with physical examinations that help determine the nature of the illness or injury. Veterinary technicians also administer medications, anesthesia, and blood products to the animals as prescribed by the veterinarian. Tasks in patient care include recording temperature, pulse and respiration, dressing wounds, applying splints and other protective devices, and cleaning teeth. They perform catheterizations, both urinary and venous, earflushes, intravenous feedings, and tube feedings. Equipment use includes operating electrocardiographic and radiographic equipment. Veterinary technicians commonly assist veterinarians in surgery by providing correct equipment and instruments and by assuring that monitoring and support equipment such as anesthetic machines, cardiac monitors, scopes and breathing apparatus are in good working condition. They also maintain treatment records and inventory of all pharmaceuticals, equipment and supplies.
Veterinary technicians are very different from veterinary assistants, because veterinary assistants have not been properly trained to perform many of the tasks that veterinary technicians can nor do they have specific education in this field. Assistants typically have only a high school diploma or GED, but some may have limited college experience or be in school studying to become a board certified technician
