Ossian Rotary will hear from Lauren Smith, registered veterinary technician, at its regularly scheduled meeting Thursday morning, Oct. 17. She has been a registered vet tech for 27 years, and began doing home appointments three years ago.
A veterinary technician assists in many procedures while caring for animals, including physical examinations, dental procedures, surgeries, immunizations, euthanasia as well as client education, marketing and inventory maintenance. Technicians may also see their own appointments for procedures such as suture removal, nail trim, lab work, surgery admission and discharge, and boarding entrance exams. Being a registered vet tech requires a working knowledge of pharmaceutical drugs and common diseases — their symptoms, means of transmission, treatment and prevention — and other basic preventative health care recommendations.
Smith was born and raised in Michigan, the oldest of three girls. She played soccer, and has a black belt in taekwondo. She loves the outdoors and her hobbies include wildlife rehab and her children’s sports.
Anyone is welcome to attend Ossian Rotary this Thursday morning, at 7:30 at First Baptist Church of Ossian, 1001 Dehner Drive, for this program. Please note that if Norwell Schools has a weather delay or cancellation due to weather, Ossian Rotary will cancel its meeting for that day.
For more information, please contact Matthew Gullion, Ossian Rotary President, at mwgullion@gmail.com.
