In general, no - at 14 you are not emotionally or mentally mature enough to work around animals that are sedated, anxious or in pain and therefore may not react as normal. In addition, veterinary clinics are hazardous work environments - needles, biological fluids that may be contaminated with bacteria, slips/falls, radiation exposure, animal attacks (bites, scratches) and hazardous chemicals and drugs such as anesthetic gases.
I would recommend waiting until you are 16 before applying to work at a vet clinic, and then only working in the kennel with the boarding/grooming animals that are otherwise healthy and mentally normal. At 18 with demonstrated maturity and ability to work well with animals, then you can start working directly with the animal patients.

What is a boarding position at a vet clinic?
This position will involve working in the kennels and cat cages, mostly walking dogs, feeding the animals and cleaning cages. Another term for this position would be "kennel assistant". In most cases you will not be working with patients nor providing medication. Also, you should probably expect to work most weekends and holidays.
What do you do for fungus on a hamsters paw?
The best thing to do is take it to a vet to be checked as online treatments may not work or be fake treatments. If the fungus is serious than the vet should give you an approved treatment for your hamster, as they are small creatures the cost will be small.
Where are the fields and meadows on Pet Vet Paws And Claws?
You have to go to your computer in the vet office and purchase them. If you don't have enough money keep working and go take tests in the town to get more animals to check up and help! Pet Vet was made with an error and the fields won't open. You have to download a patch from the internet. When you do the fields should open.

Where can you work as a vet assistant when you are 14 yeas old?
To the best of my knowledge, nowhere in the United States. A vet's clinic is a hazardous work environment due to exposure to biological fluids (blood, urine, feces, etc.) and the potential for bites, radiation exposure, etc. To work as a lay vet assistant, you need to be at least 18 years old.

Where to get a vet job for 11 year old in Missouri?
There won't be any job you will be able to apply for until you are 16 - you need to have some maturity and social experience that only time will provide. Also, a vet clinic or riding with a vet is a hazardous work environment - there are harmful bacteria, animal feces and urine, potential infection via accidental needle sticks and radiation from the x-ray machine. Because of this, it is illegal in most states for anyone under the age of 18 to work in the clinic proper - at 16 you are only allowed to work in the kennel area walking dogs and cleaning cages.
Are there any nice veterinarians to work for?
Yes, there are many veterinarians who routinely work cooperatively with their vet tech team and don't yell at them. If you are currently working at a difficult clinic, I suggest looking around for another clinic to work at.
Can you work at a vet at 15?
This will depend on the local and state laws where you live as well as the type of liability insurance the vet clinic has. Your best source of information would be to ask the veterinarian you want to work for.
