On a typical day, the technician will draw blood, administer IV catheters, urinary catheters, run lab test including blood, fecal and urinary test, read cytologies, assistant in surgery including intubating and extubating pets, monitoring anesthesia, do dental cleanings, depending on experience: dental extractions and radiology. Technicians must know how to administer CPR and be able to explain to owners many things about the pet's health including the how's and why's to everything they do.
