The daily workload can vary greatly depending on the type of practice you work in and the area of the country you are in. Most often the workload will be variable in any practice--some days will be like a wild rollercoaster ride while others are so boring and slow that you have a hard time staying awake. A very general list of things that a veterinary technician would do would include collecting patient histories, collect biological samples (blood, urine, feces, etc), running diagnostic tests, monitoring and medicating hospitalized animals, assisting in surgery, administering and monitoring anesthesia, performing dental cleanings, providing treatment for outpatients as prescribed by the attending veterinarian, filling prescriptions, answering client questions on preventative medicine, disease processes, medications, etc, maintaining inventory, caring for surgical and medical equipment such as anesthesia machines, taking radiographs, entering medical records, etc.Veterinary technicians do assist in surgery and monitor anesthesia during surgeries. Unless you work in a specialty practice where there are many technicians or surgeries are not commonly performed, you will likely be expected to be involved in surgeries. This is because a veterinarian needs an extra set of hands and eyes in a surgery suite to perform tasks that he can not while he is focused on performing the surgery and not breaking sterility.Yes, you may be required to suture wounds though generally these tasks are only relegated to vet techs who are comfortable doing them and who the vet feels comfortable allowing to do them. As for collecting urine and feces, no you don't have to touch them though it's not uncommon for a vet tech to end up with urine, feces or vomitus on them. It's just the nature of the job--sometimes messes occur and there isn't much you can do about it.Yes, it is often a stressful job. You are often dealing with injured or ill animals and their understandably upset owners. And you are also dealing with co-workers who have their own emotional ups and downs. It is important to have a way to relax and get away from the job on a regular basis to help prevent burnout.
