Veterinary Clinics

I was able to not only experience their human medical environment, but also the beauty of their veterinary clinics. The first day I shadowed a vet clinic which was funded by the HOLA program and allowed 40+ spays and neutering of animals which is helping in lowering the huge production of stray animals. I was able to place IVs into the animals, intubate them, and give them vaccines/vitamins/pain medicine shots. It was beautiful to be able to apply my phlebotomy techniques to find and stick the animal’s veins. After the vet clinic we went to an animal shelter where we then took some of the dogs to the beach.
