Veterinary assistants have more functions, including examining and taking care of the hygiene of the animals, applying local treatment and acting on the animals' health.
They actually have more functions, such as collecting biological samples, monitoring body temperature, as well as preparing and administering diagnostic drugs.
No, there are vet receptionists like me and vet assistants which is another thing entirely. As a receptionist I have to deal with clients who in this case don't speak my language directly, so sometimes it's a bit complicated.
No, veterinary assistants are people who are in charge of monitoring the patient, if they draw blood with the corresponding training, apply medicines taken, and are usually the ones indicated for treating animals, they develop skills to calm pets.
Our veterinary assistants are as important as us as veterinarians, they are very good at understanding what happens to the pet and have a wonderful tact to talk to pet owners, at the same time they facilitate our work by optimizing work times.
A veterinary receptionist is very different from a normal receptionist, the type of client is extremely different, on the other hand, veterinary assistants are closer to the medical part than to the direct care part for pet owners.
