Title: Hello from Barreiro - Portugal
Post by: Aymara on January 30, 2008, 08:56:49 AM

Hi everyone!  :)

My name is Ana and my herd's name is Aymara dos Andes  ::nod::
I'm a chin lover, but not only: I love animal in general. I've two female dogs: An Australian Catle dog named Nikita and a Yorkshire Terrier (toy) named Yuki.
Also have a tortoise, 2 corn snakes and a hognose (those ones is my husband that takes care of). But is not all: I also have 4 sugar gliders cuples. (they are the other passion).
About chinchillas: I've about 18 chins: some standard grey, some bege and a few of others mutations. I like all the colors, but what I realy love are chinchillas!  :::grins::
I'm a certeficated veterinary clinic assistant.
Since some years ago, I've study all I find about chinchillas health, breed and all that concerned to chins.
I've lost some chins for a ténia... it was very sad  :'( but now all are ok.

See you around.
Ana

Hi and Welcome.

Are you an assistant or tech? I didn't know an Assistant could be certified.. techs can be certified tho.

I am an Assistant at a local animal hospital (dog and cat clinic). I am training and will become a Tech in the furture. I love my job :) its a great job to have when you love animals :)

Thank you for your kind words.

I'm an assistant, not a tech. Here at Portugal, we only can work on vet clinics if we had some prefessional preparation. That certify alow us to assist vet on cirurgy, on xr, preparing an animal to any traetment, vacination program, to feed them when they steel in the hospital. Of course, we only do what the vet said us to do :)
It's the same on the humam clinic: you can be a doc., a nurse, or an assistant, but you need to be certified  :)
As soon as I can, I will be on the tech course  ::nod::

And yes... I love animals  :::grins::
