What is a vet tech?
A certified veterinary technician (CVT) has completed a 2-year associate degree program in animal technology and passed a Wisconsin state certification examination. A CVT is a lot like a veterinary nurse + a lab technician + an assistant for whatever needs to be done to help care for our animal patients.  This includes assisting with procedures and surgeries for pets, horses and farm animals. A technician's training includes monitoring anesthesia, drawing blood samples, giving treatments prescribed by a veterinarian, performing lab work, restraining patients, and other important parts of the daily routine at Fredonia Veterinary Clinic. They are also very knowledgeable about general care of animals and veterinary care. A veterinary assistant is trained on the job to assist the veterinarians. A CVT and a veterinary assistant are required to work under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. They legally cannot diagnose, prescribe medications or perform surgery.


Our Equine Assistants/Vet Techs at Fredonia Veterinary Clinic:

They are valuable assets to us at Fredonia Veterinary Clinic to help us take care of your horses. In addition to assisting on farm calls, they also do a lot of behind the scenes work at the clinic. They can be very helpful for you on the phone to answer questions. They also get refills of prescriptions ready, help complete Coggin's & Health Certificate paperwork for you, and perform our in-house lab tests as well as many other tasks.  -Renee has been with FVC as a veterinary assistant for over 5 years.
