Unlicensed staff should NOT be placing IV catheters
 

There is a reason that LVT's go through the training they do, and the testing to become licensed.  I am 100% against the proposal to have an unlicensed staff member place IV's in our pets.  This is a lowering of the standards of care for our pets, and that is unacceptable.  I am extremely distressed that this is even being considered.
