im yung but since i was yunger i have always wanted to be a vet ok so just go and call a vet and ask the receptionest when it is a good time to call becau or when the dr. isant buisy….good luck with ur thing going on there
Well, i’m not a vet, but my parents both are, so i’ll try to answer best i can for them.
1. My mom sees clients and runs blood tests and prescribes medicines.
My dad does surgery and stuff like that. If you were a receptionist you would enter files about the animals and answer the phones.
And, then the assistants basically assist the vets with whatever they need help with. (holding pets, etc..) They walk the dogs and clean cages mainly.
2. Refer to question 1
3. Computers help keep information about clients and their pets.
4. My parents had to go to college, then pre-vet, then vet school. Basically 8-10 years of schooling. However the receptionists need more of a business degree and the assistants are basically college and high school kids who work part-time.
5. I’m not sure why they decided to be vets…There are many reasons someone would though. Do NOT become a vet just because you “love animals” It’s a very hard job and also if you **** seeing animals die, then you won’t last very long in this career field.
6. My dad loves helping animals. My mom….dunno. Probably the same.
7. Clean-up and seeing animals die of course.
8. I think so, because there can never be enough vets. Plus there are tons of different kinds of vets to be and that are needed:
Small animal (cats and dogs)
Equine(horses)
Exotics (rodents, ferrets, rabbits, ect…)
Higher exotics (wild animals)
Birds
Emergency vets
9. Bosses – top level once you make it, but as you start out it would be very low.
Receptionists – mid-level
Assistants – low-mid
Agian, it really depends on where you work, and what you do.
10. health insurance? yes
dental insurance? i think so
life insurance? yes
bonuses? i think so
overtime? yes
paid holidays? ..yes
paid vacations? with time, yes
On site child care? depends
profit sharing? i don’t think so
11. depends
12. long periods of sitting? NO
long periods of standing? yes
some lifting? YES
climbing? not really
walk or be able to move around? Absolutely, except receptionists
stoop, bend, or kneel regularly? Definitely
regular lifting of 50+ pounds? YES
13. indoor work? yes
outdoor work? yes
cold working environment? in winter
warm working environment? in summer
wet, humid environment? where we live, yes
noisy environment? YES
hazards? sometimes, i suppose
I hope I helped!!!
Edit – Hey! My dad’s name is Dr. Steve Smelley
