    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Veterinary assistants are not allowed to perform surgery on pets, nor can they diagnose a condition or prescribe medications. They can, however, assist a veterinarian in a number of ways--including administering anesthesia and cleaning up after an operation.
