All Critters Veterinary Hospital, OH

Description of Elective Experience

General practice hospital with 65% cat/dog and 35% exotic pets.  Exotic includes avian, reptile, small mammal, and non traditional species including native wildlife.  Students will have opportunities to work with local cat rescues, pet stores, and potentially local wildlife and wildlife rehabbers (as needed).  Due to the variety of species seen, cannot guarantee any one species will be seen on a given 2 week rotation.  Students without any exotic experience will be encouraged to learn the basics and will be given opportunities to interact with them.  Will try to expose students to working up cases in general practice as they prepare for starting their career.
