- W64824008 abstract "Reading through the pages of this text, I felt transported back to my days in tech school, as the wealth of information serves as an excellent overview of many concepts that form the foundation of work at a veterinary hospital. The chapters are well laid out, and are divided into “Tasks” for each concept, which are even further broken down into step-by-step procedures to ensure the task is completed effectively and efficiently. No details are ever missed in the explanations, and diagrams and figures are found throughout.There are a number of chapters which go into very good detail in regards to the most important parts of a veterinary assistant’s job, such as the section on animal restraint, replete with detailed instructions and images to assist even the most novice animal handler. Concepts involving disease transmission and prevention are not overlooked, and no detail is missed regarding proper cleaning procedures. Some of the more basic veterinary technician skills are also covered, including some laboratory skills, and medication administration.A few chapters seemed to be a bit excessive on details; the section on knots was brief but very detailed, with more information on knot types than any one assistant would ever require. The chapter on professional conduct contained quite a few gems, but the sections on personal hygiene (how many times a day to brush one’s teeth, bathing, breath mints, etc.) bordered on belittling, and could have been omitted from the text.The tone of most of the text was a bit harsh, some of the chapter sections came off as a bit strict, and could be off-putting to someone relatively new to the field. Despite the tone, the text is written in a very easy to read way, with a multitude of appendices, including vocabularies and definitions, a number of protocols and general information about a number of species (vitals, vaccination protocols, pain scales, etc.). A competency record is also included for instructors or employers to use along with the text, to make sure students or new hires are learning what they need to.Overall, the text is an excellent primer for veterinary assistants and new technician students alike. It would make a great addition to any clinic library, or to a college curriculum." @default.
