We are a busy small animal hospital in southern Ohio. The focus is general practice with mostly dog and cat patients with occasional pocket pets. The mornings consist of routine surgery including spay/neuter, mass removal, primarily soft tissue surgery. The afternoons consist of appointments scheduled every 15 minutes.
We have 2 veterinarians, a veterinary technician, and office support staff. We have a lot of great equipment including the latest Idexx hematology, chemistry, complete urinalysis equipment including sedivue, new digital radiology, ultrasound, gas anesthesia with full monitoring, dental equipment, etc.
Student responsibilities would be to shadow a doctor to start, and as confidence builds practice physical exams, blood draw/ iv catheter placement, administering in house treatments, client communication including treatment plan options and explaining disease processes under supervision. We will focus on building confidence in the general practice setting. Our regular hours are Monday-Thursday 8:30-5:30, and Friday 8:30-1pm
