Animal Charity Veterinary Voluntary Work. This charity veterinary service is available to animals belonging to people in the poorest of areas in South Africa, who simply cannot afford healthcare for their animals. Mobile veterinary units go out into the townships where there are queues of people with their animals of all shapes and sizes, waiting for specialised care. Some animals need surgery, some need inoculations, and others need routine operations such as sterilisations to prevent more unwanted puppies and kittens. At the clinic, volunteers have hands on involvement with the animals needing care, from washing them to feeding, to preparing them for surgery (by shaving off fur) and sometimes even assisting with surgery (optional!). This is brilliant exposure for anyone considering becoming a vet, or anyone already doing veterinary work, as the range of procedures performed on animals is very varied. No qualifications are necessary apart from a love for animals and a "hands on" attitude.Vets Go Wild Worldwide Experience- Conserve, Develop, Teach....
