should vets be steral doing surgey on animals
I am not a veternarian, but as a long time pet-owner, I know that animals are susceptible to many of the same sorts of infections that can occur in humans. I would think that a good veterinary or assistant should practice the same sort of care when handling animals as a doctor would take handling humans. Gloves, good hand-washing and sterile environment help prevent a whole range of complications. However, in an emergency situation, ungloved fingers might be more sensitive when checking for foreign objects. If you are seriously questioning an assistant’s competence, you might check with the vet who hired him.
