Ban The Box featuring Tasha McNerney (BS, CVT, VTS)

Tails from a Vet Tech

We call it practicing veterinary medicine because we are always improving. The use of inhalant chambers has been around for a long time, and some believe that this technique is safer for the staff and the animal, however, we now know so much more about the physiological and psychological risks this technique poses to both animals and humans along with alternatives.

This week, Tabitha is joined by Tasha McNerney, BS, CVT, VTS to discuss why we should ban the box. We will discuss the risks of using this technique with both humans and animals, safer and stress-reducing alternatives, and how to help advocate for this change.
