All Creature Features Animal Hospital is a five doctor AAHA accredited small animal veterinary clinic. We have a busy daily caseload which will provide a veterinary extern a good opportunity to gain a lot of exposure to daily veterinary practice. The extern will be allowed to assist the veterinarians with appointments, surgeries, and medical workups. During appointments the extern will be given the opportunity to interact with clients, perform examinations, and begin a medical workup for the case. We schedule surgeries ever day, Monday through Friday, and can easily provide the extern with adequate surgical opportunity. On difficult cases our veterinarians work together as a team and we would gladly welcone input from a senior veterinary student. We promote thorough exams and workups with sick patients. Also, we promote yearly wellness exams to try to identify problems that may be subclinical. We feel that an externship in our practice would prove to be a very rewarding experience.
We are a very well equipped five doctor AAHA accredited practice. Our in-house laboratory is furbished with the latest IDEXX equipment with a CBC machine, 3 chemistry machines, PT and PTT machine, and a urinalysis machine. We have a digital X-ray machine and a GE ultrasound. Our surgery room has two heated surgery tables, engler anesthetic machines, two electrocautery units, a ligasure, Storz laparoscopic equipment, and VOI orthopedic plating and TPLO equipment with a Desoutter orthopedic saw. A recent addition is our rehabilitation facility. We have two doctors with CCRP certification and our facility has a H2O for Fitness under water treadmill, companion animal medicine laser, cavaletti rails. balance boards, therapy balls, ect.
Monday through Friday would be 8 hours/day and the extern could also come on saturday mornings for 4 hours. On weekdays we have one or two doctors in surgery in the morning and one or two doctors scheduled for appointments. Afternoons are mostly appointments With an extern we could set up a balance between surgery and appointments. There will be ample opportunity for plenty of hands on experience and assistance will always be available if needed.
