What are the responsibilities and job description for the DVM Student Externship - Paws and Claws Animal Hospital position at Paws and Claws Animal Hospital?
Practice:
Paws & Claws Animal Hospital is the only hospital in North Texas offering Functional Medicine for all pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals.) Functional medicine focuses on the function of the patient’s cells, using an individualized approach to promote health and return sick patients to healthy as quickly as possible.
The practices of functional medicine are useful both for healthy patients (to improve their health) as well as for those suffering from illness, especially chronic illness, to return them to health. We use diet, cold laser, homeopathy, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, and other modalities with traditional diagnostics to optimize veterinary care.
Since opening its doors in 1991, Dr. Shawn Messonnier has treated countless clients with uniquely developed holistic treatments. He has authored several award-winning books, developed his own line of herbal supplements and more!
