A veterinary technician or 'vet tech' is like an animal nurse. Veterinary technicians work in different places such as private veterinary clinics, animal shelters, farms, zoos, universities, or for the government. They also work with a variety of animals. In general, veterinary technicians take X-rays, blood and urine samples, run lab tests and help veterinarians perform surgeries.
