it should be under the strict supervision of the DVM
 

I know there is a lot of huffing and puffing about how we need to make our title stand for something and we shouldn't let just anyone place catheters, but in my experience I know plenty of LVTs that can't place catheters or have never done it outside of school and I know plenty of seasoned non-LVTs who I would trust to probably do a better job than I do. I'm not saying anyone should be able to but that should be left up to the DVM because it is thier patient at the end of the day.
