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.

Is being an assistant veterinarian hard?

"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.
