Have a look at Circadium Rhythms. That is the process by which our biological clocks seem to change the body processes of sleeping and not-sleeping during appropriate times of the day. It is the case for most animals. I suppose if we can adapt our circadium cycle to compensate for different time zones then bats should most likely be able to do the same also in a laboratory. Just so long as the change is gradual, and food provision is relatively timed.

Hope this helps

project: animal testing?

Let's just say my name is Rosa.

I'm 18.

Animal testing is wrong on SO many levels. Think about the fact that the scientists turn to animal testing because animals are so much like human beings, however, these same scientists that test on them claim that it is more morally acceptable because they are NOT humans. A bit contradictory if you ask me! Animals have just as much capability to feel pain, suffering and sorrow despite the fact that people doubt their intelligence which is proving to be more and more vast! There are also MANY other alternatives such an in vitro testing which is allowing human skin cells to grow in a test tube and then be tested on. This allows not only a more fitting out come seeing as how it is tested on HUMAN skin but also prevents harm to animals. Another thing to keep in mind is humans react differently to things than animals do. Take chocolate for example which people can have all they want of and have no side effects (aside from getting fat) but if a dog eats chocolate it can die or get sick. There are MANY other things that might not harm animals but could easily prove to be harmful to humans.

I am 100% for animal rights. I've read many books on it. You should read "Rattling the Cage" by Stephen Wise. It is very informative and gives you a better understanding of the horrible suffering animals must go through, often for pointless reasons.

I am glad to see others providing the voice that poor, helpless animals lack.

Animal rights

Just type into any search bar "animal rights", "animal testing" or "animal cruelty" and you will find tons of articles on this topic. It is very controversial and becoming more so with every passing day. Just know that there are often many graphic and upsetting images on these sites that you will more than likely stumble across. They're displeasing but they are simply the truth of what happens in laboratories across the world.

Keep in mind, if you are doing a research paper on it then you should approach both the negative and positive aspects of animal testing.

A day in the life of a vet tech?

A typical day can vary widely depending on what type of practice you are in and simply what owners bring in to be seen.

A very general list of things that a veterinary technician would do would include collecting patient histories, collect biological samples (blood, urine, feces, etc), running diagnostic tests, monitoring and medicating hospitalized animals, assisting in surgery, administering and monitoring anesthesia, performing dental cleanings, providing treatment for outpatients as prescribed by the attending veterinarian, filling prescriptions, answering client questions on preventative medicine, disease processes, medications, etc, maintaining inventory, caring for surgical and medical equipment such as anesthesia machines, taking radiographs, entering medical records, etc.

As for a general job description, veterinary technicians assist veterinarians in providing health care for patients, client education, laboratory testing, maintenance of equipment and supplies necessary for providing veterinary care, medical recordkeeping, and many other aspects of daily veterinary hospital management.

Hours and whether you work part-time or full-time really depend on where you choose to work. Some practices are open only during "banking hours", others are open only when most other practices are closed (overnight, weekends and holidays) and other practices are open long hours during the week and for a portion of the weekend. So what hours you work will depend on what type of practice you choose to work in and whether you look for and accept full-time or part-time work.

It is highly advised that you volunteer or work as a veterinary assistant at a veterinary clinic or at least shadow a credentialed veterinary technician for a while prior to enrolling in a veterinary technology program. This gives you the hands-on experience that many vetererinary technology programs require for application and allows you to really see if this profession is really right for you.
