The Art of Veterinary Medicine

Erica Mattox, CVT, VTS (ECC), patient care director and surgery manager of WestVet in Garden City, Idaho, says veterinary medicine is both an art and a science.

“There’s so much that goes into taking care of a patient that we can’t calculate. That we can’t necessarily read about in a textbook," she said. "That stuff is just as important at making sure the patient does well and thrives during their treatment.”
