My duties include administering medications to lab animals orally or topically, preparing samples for laboratory examinations and recording information about an animal’s genealogy, diet, weight, medications, food intake and clinical signs of pain and distress. I also handle ordering supplies and instruments and performing minor equipment maintenance. In addition, I assist medical personnel during animal surgery. I also provide routine preoperative and postoperative care, perform standardized laboratory tests on animal specimens and report findings.
