Veterinary technicians face difficult situations on a daily basis.
They dedicate their lives to aiding in the treatment of animals and
relieving suffering, serving as each patient’s main advocate and
caretaker. The veterinary technician holds a unique role in patient
care. Acting as the intermediary between the veterinarian
prescribing treatment and the patient, they play a large part in
the communication and education of clients. Veterinary technicians
have greatly expanded their roles and find themselves not only an
integral part of veterinary practice, but in research institutions,
animal shelters, and universities as well. This text explores
difficult situations veterinary technicians face on a daily basis
through the use of case examples and dialogue. Each case scenario
describes a real-life situation for a veterinary technician, poses
thought-provoking questions, and provides commentary that focuses
on the legal aspect of the scenario, the social or personal ethics
of the parties involved, and/or the welfare of the animal(s). The
case scenarios encompass clinical situations in a practice setting
as well as situations involving business ethics and interpersonal
relationships between colleagues. The case format of the book lends
itself to discussion and can be utilized in veterinary technology
courses that focus on ethics, communications, management, and
leadership. The real-life case examples make the book an enjoyable
read for practicing veterinary technicians as well. There currently
are over two hundred veterinary technology programs and thousands
of practicing veterinary technicians within the United States and
Canada.
