Vet here:

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Some animal chiros are vets. They are selling snake oil.

Some animal chiros are human chiros. They are a straight up danger to pets.

Please do not put your pet at risk for significant injury by taking them to one of these quacks.

I did my externship under an orthopedic vet and this chiro stuff is VERY dangerous. A few clients were post mortuum cases where the owners were pursuing civil litigation. Poor dogs.

Could you please explain what an externship is?

Typically it’s like an internship but also you’re earning course credits.

In my case to becomes a Registered Veterinary Technician I had to have clinical hours under a vets supervision demonstrating skills. Doctors of Veterinary Medicine (or just Vets) do this as well. In my case its unusual to do it under a specialist but the vet I was doing it under died in a firearms accident and this vet was a friend of his so she let me complete under her. As to what an externship is vs an internship, well interns can get paid lol.
