As no state has any legal requirements for working as a veterinary assistant and do not require credentials to work as a veterinary assistant, it is possible to fill this position after having committed a felony. However, many veterinary practices perform background checks on potential employees and may not hire felons.
You can be trained to maintain veterinary records as a veterinary assistant. However, the pay is fairly minimal for this type of work, and most veterinarians either keep their records themselves or have a veterinary technician assist with the records.
Generally, the veterinarian is responsible for the actions of non-licensed employees. Therefore if a veterinary assistant performs tasks that he or she is not legally allowed to perform, the veterinarian can be reprimanded and fined. If the veterinarian did not assign these tasks to the assistant, he may choose to fire the assistant.

"Assistant veterinarian" is not a title I'm familar with. "Associate veterinarian" is a veterinarian who works at a clinic but is not an owner or part-owner of the clinic; this job has all the difficulties of any veterinary position. "Veterinary assistant" is a lay trained individual who assists the veterinarian with non-technical tasks such as cleaning the exam rooms, moving clients and patients from the reception area to the exam room and back out and other similar tasks. A veterinary assistant's job can be physical demanding but doesn't have the same demands a veterinarian's position does.
Yes, you can work as a veterinary assistant or veterinary technician under a licensed veterinarian. In addition, after being accepted at a school of veterinary medicine, you can practice under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
