Veterinarian Job Shadow

Job Shadow Report Vets are not in it for the money because there is no money in it; they’re in it for their love of animals and the idea that they are everything. For my research paper I chose to shadow a veterinarian. I Shadowed Dr. Lewis from the Lewis veterinarian clinic in Linden Pa. I saw many interesting things during my job shadow and made many observations. I saw Dr. Lewis put a cast on a dog’s broken leg. I learned that animals tend to get heart worms and fleas more in the winter, and I didn’t learn that through my research but during my job shadow. During my shadow I helped Dr.Lewis give animal’s shots to prepare them for surgery. I also got to help with a pregnant Labrador retriever and I got to see an ultrasound of her puppies. I took many observations and I saw how kind and friendly all the employees were with the animals. I also saw that working around powerful animals such a horse can be dangerous. Overall, I had a entertaining and enjoyable job shadow. To conclude, I very much enjoyed my job shadow at the Lewis veterinary clinic. I saw so many animals and met some pretty amazing people. I have always been interested in becoming a veterinarian and after my job shadow it has made me enjoy the idea of this job even more. I learned so many interesting things and I had so much fun. All in all, I think that a job as a veterinarian could be the right job for me.
