“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.” -Groucho Marx. (“QuotesAboutAnimals”). Ive had the pleasure of working for a Vet clinic for the past two years now. There are so many things to learn and intense experiences to go through. Animals are amazing creatures and I forever wish to help them. They are not humans they cannot tell us very well what they need or what they want. Even though animals and people have their differences we are all alike in some ways. Surgical procedures are very much needed for both species, lacerations in the skin need to be stitched up, and mothers need help delivering babies.
Cesarean Section is a surgical procedure in which the abdomen and uterus are open to deliver babies(“Cesarean Section”). There are various reasons to have a C-section done it deals with the position or size of the fetus along with pelvic size or shape. You can learn all these things from ultrasounds. C-sections should only be used in emergency situations for humans, dogs and cats are usually planned out if they want assistance in the delivery of their babies(“Cesarean Section”). Birth creates a lot of stress on the body of animals and humans. Any sign of distress on the fetus is one of the main causes for an emergency C-section(“NecessaryC-sections”). At times people will choose to plan out animal C-sections. Humans only use this in emergency situations. In order for the best chance of a puppy survival you have to wait till the perfect time. Its best to wait until the temperature of the dog drops to 99 degrees or until labor starts(“NecessaryC-sections”). The best way to tell if a dog is going into labor is by the temperature. When the temperature drops below 100 degrees the dog will deliver within 24 hours. Each and every puppy has its own water sack; it has to be broken by the puppy coming through head first. During a

I had originally thought that veterinarians do not do a lot of interacting with owners. However, after I had completed my work experience I realized that veterinarians do a fair amount of interacting with people as they have to discuss and explain to owners about their pets well being during a health exam.

    The complexity and diversity of the animal kingdom has always captivated me. This has resulted in a desire to accomplish a place in Veterinary Nursing. This aspiration has it’s origins in an early family life occupied with animals and pets, a developing interest in the science and wellbeing of animals and an expanding sense of duty for the care we owe to the creatures which convey true companionship and loyalty.

    Vet Tech has always been an option for me, helping animals is something that is very interesting. It was introduced in 1989, the AVMA officially adopted the name “Vet Tech.” In 1998, emergency vets debut on Animal Planet. And in 2008, student population grows from 500 to 700. There are about 17,000 people employed in the career field chosen. Some of the common trends of the job would be, working at Zoos, Aquariums, Boarding Kennels, and Wildlife sanctuaries. These jobs are usually found working in an animal clinic or hospitals and sometimes at farms because that is the “normal” areas for this occupation. In this career there are some general duties such as: Observe animals behavior and conditions, Provide nursing care, Bathe animals, Clip nails, groom animals hair, keep animals calm during exams or procedures. The more specific duties of the job would be to: take x-rays of animals and develop them, get utensils and prepare the animals for surgery, keep and record patient's history.

    627 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many women today are doing more C-sections, also known as cesarean, than they are natural. Whether the reasons being because it’s more convenient or that some moms did not really have a choice, the percentage is still growing. “The cesarean delivery rate increased from 26% to 36.5% between 2003 and 2009; 50.0% of the increase was attributable to an increase in primary cesarean delivery (National Partnership for Women & Families, 201.)” There are many things to consider when deciding which is the right or safer choice. With both choices comes risks for the baby like, possible respiratory problems with a C-section. The mom has many risks to worry about for herself as well, like possibly hemorrhaging. There is also the recovery and the long-term effects that a woman has to put into consideration. They both have their pros and cons that should not be taken lightly.

  • Electronic Fetal Monitoring Essay

    1565 Words  | 4 Pages

    Between five to ten percent of all infants are born more than two weeks before their due date due to several factors that include infections, illness, poor nutrition, or complications during the pregnancy. Fetal monitors are used in the cases of C-sections because there is a much higher risk of detecting the infant’s distress and therefore can go in more quickly to remove the baby from the uterus. When the mother is under general anesthesia, which is rare in the United States, the mother is not aware of any kind of pain or even the birth of her child. When the mother has spinal anesthesia she has no feeling from the waist down. Sometimes, the best indication that the baby is in distress is the mother- an unfamiliar pain occurs or something else could be a sign of problems.

    1217 Words  | 3 Pages

    Over the years birthing methods have changed a great deal. When technology wasn’t so advanced there was only one method of giving birth, vaginally non-medicated. However, in today’s society there are now more than one method of giving birth. In fact, there are three methods: Non-medicated vaginal delivery, medicated vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery, also known as c-section. In the cesarean delivery there is not much to prepare for before the operation, except maybe the procedure of the operation. A few things that will be discussed are: the process of cesarean delivery, reasons for this birthing method and a few reasons for why this birthing method is used. Also a question that many women have is whether or not they can vaginally deliver after a cesarean delivery, as well as the risks and benefits if it. Delivering a child by a c-section also has a few advantages and disadvantages for both the mother and child; this will also be discussed in more depth a bit later.
