Week Twenty Four Announced – Veterinary Assistant

This week I will be working as a Veterinary Assistant at Hespeler Animal Hospital in Cambridge, Ontario.

I will get to help hold animals for exams and treatment, assist with procedures such as dentistry, surgery and radiology (with a lot of supervision, of course!) and perhaps help out the receptionists as well.

I had no idea where I would be working up until Thursday of last week. I had various offers though nothing seemed to really stick with me until I received the offer from the Animal Hospital. It is going to be a very interesting week and I am really excited to learn more about how things work in an animal hospital as it is an environment I have never previously been exposed to.

Hi Sean!

I’m leaving in Quebec, between Montreal and Trois-RiviÃƒÂ¨res. I don’t speak english but I will try to write you well.
I want to wish you a lot of chance in all your jobs. I leave my comment here because I’m jealous of you about this job.
I wanted to be veterinairy because I’m in love with pets. Finally I’m an economist and I teach economy in a high school. I have saw you this morning at Salut Bonjour. Good luck! If you pass near Trois-RiviÃƒÂ¨res and if you need a place to leave for a week you can come at our home.
We are four peoples, 2 bigs dogs and 2 cats. Welcome to you!
Bye!
Linda

How’d this job go? I am thinking about getting into vet assisting. Actually, I know I REALLY WANT to get into it, but I don’t want to have to go back to school for it, you know?

Thanks linda, I appreciate the offer!

Demara, you should definitely look into it. Becoming a Vet Assistant doesn’t take nearly as much school as being a vet and you get to work as closely with the animals. If you actually know what you want to do, you are lucky – what’s holding you back? Go for it!

I’m sure you loved it, didn’t you? At first when thinking of becoming a vet assistant I thought that it may be only through getting a corresponding degree. But if you have a strong love to animals, that’s also enough to begin with!
