Not when performed in the field. It is a clean surgery simply because it is nearly impossible to maintain sterile technique in those kinds of conditions. That doesn't mean that the veterinary team doesn't do everything they can to minimize contamination.

Sometimes. Anyone touching the patient or anything else that will touch the patient (instruments, drapes, etc.) or touch the surgical table or equipment in the sterile surgical field, must be sterile, including the gloves. However, all types of surgical gloves are not sterile, but those used in surgery must be. Other procedures (outside of surgery) are considered "clean" but not "sterile", in those cases, non-sterile gloves can be used.
