Thank you for taking time to respond.
Seven of us are considered veterinary technicians or assistants. We care for any patients staying in overnight, administering medications, clean their cages, log observations made and treatments given. We ensure that the facility is clean and well stocked prior to the arrival of clients and patients. When clients arrive, we greet them and escort the to an exam room, weigh and take their temperature if needed. A brief history is taken from the client and logged into the pet's medical record. We then proceed to prepare the exam room by having any instruments ready for the treatment(s) anticipated, such as vaccines drawn up, paperwork prepared for blood draw, or radiology set up for x-rays. (that we will take ourselves for the doctors) We restrain patients for exams and treatments, prepare patients surgically, perform dental cleanings on patients while under anesthesia. We monitor patients while under anesthesia, and recover them post anesthetic. We clean exam rooms, the opereratory, and surgical instruments are sterilized after each use. We serve as pharmacy technicians filling/ refilling medications, advising clients of their proper administration. When the receptionists are overwhelmed with clients we also assist them by answering phones, and assisting clients by answering questions or setting appointments. Following surgeries the hospital is swept and mopped by the technicians. (the receptionists will assist us if we are overly occupied) We empty trash receptacles, and bring all waste and recyclables to the curb. We perform basic maintenance such as the cleaning of the restroom and emptying the kennel sink drain filter. When a receptionist is not readily available the doctors ask us to call clients to report bloodwork results.
There are two women that are considered our receptionists. One elderly women that seems to perform in an administrative capacity, logging our hours, calling in orders for supplies, mailing reminder cards, etc.
Is this the information needed?
