The office called me yesterday and said that the vet would be in late (after my appt. time) and they asked if I minded if a tech gave the vax. I said okay and they got them this morning, one tech holding, the other injecting. They did a good job. When I read all the replies here about this, I thought that maybe I had done the wrong thing  So glad to hear that this is pretty normal. The vet did a thorough exam two weeks ago, and he did give them their rabies vax then. Whew 
As for the waiting room thing, unacceptable imho. If they were that busy maybe they should have rescheduled. |
I like a vet onsite for vax just in case of reaction. Who gives it..don't care. Techs give pain injections during surgery anyway. They place IVs, draw blood, do cystos, take xrays, are taught how to suture in school, draw up meds, run the iso/sevo machine, monitor after surgery, run lab work, etc., etc. A vax is the least of my concerns as far as techs are concerned. They have to be very sharp people..and are miserably paid.
