A Veterinary Technician plays a crucial role in the veterinary industry, providing essential support to veterinarians in diagnosing and treating animals with various health issues. They are responsible for performing a variety of procedures, such as drawing blood, administering medication, preparing animals and equipment for surgery, and assisting during surgical procedures.
