Hi,

I am notv familiar with the term 'Veterinary Technician'.
Are you from the UK?

A vet technician is a vet assistant.They work alongside vets

Sorry, but you have it wrong. (at least,you have if you are in the UK).
An 'assistant veterinary surgeon' is a fully qualified vet who works in a veterinary practice but is not a partner or principal of the practice.
Are you thinking about 'Veterinary Nurse'?

ah well, im from canada and a vet tech works with other vets

okay.. how bout this. do u need academic math to be a vet

You do not need Maths to BE a vet, but in the UK you do need Maths or Physics to get into a university veterinary school.
