A vet tech horror story could be a situation where a sick animal was brought in with an unknown disease. The vet tech was the first to handle it and later found out that the disease was highly contagious. They were worried about having exposed themselves and other animals in the clinic. Another one was when a vet tech was assisting in a difficult birth of a large dog. There were complications and blood everywhere. It was a very gory and scary scene. And in one instance, a vet tech was trying to draw blood from a very uncooperative horse. The horse kicked out and nearly hit the tech in the face, which was a really frightening moment.

I know a vet tech horror story where a vet tech was handling a wild animal that had been brought in for treatment. The wild animal was still very much in its natural state and was not used to human handling. It managed to break free from its restraints and attacked the tech. There was a lot of blood and panic. Also, there was a case where a vet tech was dealing with a litter of puppies that all had a mysterious and rapidly spreading illness. Despite their best efforts, most of the puppies didn't make it, which was heart - breaking. And in one situation, a vet tech walked into a room full of snakes that had escaped from their cages due to a faulty lock. It was a terrifying sight to see all those snakes slithering around.
