Glad I could help you!

For the most part, yes, the technicians are around the animals a lot more than the DMV. The DVM is almost always either in an exam room with a client and patient, in his/her office doing paperwork/making phone calls, or in the sugrery room doing surgeries.
If the animal needs any kind of treatment, (vaccines, nails trimmed, medications, subQ fluids, IV fluids) the RVT's are the ones who take care of that.

I will graduate with an associates degree.
I will look around and try to find a program in your area.
