Becoming A Veterinarian

A British actress named Hannah Murray once said, “I really loved animals when I was little - my friend and I had an imaginary vet 's office; we would mime doing surgery on animals. We treated more injuries than illnesses - fixing with a baby bear with a broken leg, removing a tumor. Of course, our surgeries would take about five seconds; that 's how good we were.” As far back as one girl can remember, she always had a pet of some kind.

I went to the vet with her and I sat through the whole appointment. It was extremely hard for me when they told me that she had to be put down.

Imagine that you walk into the O.R. of your own veterinary clinic, and you see a horse that you will be operating on. The horse is under anesthesia, because she was trying to give birth, then two hours in the owners of the horse decided it would be best to get the horse to an equine veterinarian as quick as possible, because this horse isn’t able to push the colt out on its own.
