As a pet owner of a medically high risk breed, I am against allowing vet assistants to place IV catheters. I spend more on my pets vet care each year than I have spent on human family medical care in years, I expect certified & licensed professionals to be caring for & performing procedures on my pets. This opens the door for so many errors & liabilities. It undermines all of the education & hard work licensed professionals have put into their practice & field.
