Personal Narrative: A Career As A Veterinarian

The conditions vets work in, are extreme. First off, when you work with animals, you are up close and personal. Unlike humans, they cannot take and tell you whats wrong, or if you're making them mad. Getting bit, scratched, peed on, and other things, is a normal thing to happen to vet techs. Also when you work outside as a vet you work in all conditions, from 100 degree weather, to below freezing, and a foot of snow! Overall veterinary technicians dont let things stop them from doing their jobs, because they know how important they are for the animal, owner, and even community.

Animals have played a big part in my life, I have always had some sort of animal ever since I was born. Growing up I've had dogs, hamsters and fish and I have loved all of them deeply. This love for animals has showed me that I want to work with animals for the rest of my life. Becoming a Vet Tech is a great job because I get to see animals all day every day and I get to care and love for them.Vet Techs provide care for all animal's, anywhere from dogs, cats, exotic pets, lab animals and zoo animals. They help animals recover from injury, illness and help maintain animal's overall health. Vet Techs are commonly called ''nurses'' for animals, having the same jobs nurses have but just for animals.

In these cases technicians have to be considerate and have the ability to set aside their own emotions and comfort the owners that need it. Aside from handling the owners, a vet tech will have to be able to

From a very young, becoming a veterinarian has been a dream of mine. The love of animals coupled with the thought of helping those animals through suffering and having the opportunity to actually save one's life has been a motivator for the future. A veterinarian changes an animal’s life in more ways than one. They care for the health of animals. Veterinarians are also able to diagnose, treat, and research medical conditions and diseases of not just pets but also livestock and wildlife ("Summary" U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). It goes beyond the annual vaccinations.

I love animals and I would love to work with them. Ever since I was a little girl I knew I would want to work with animals because they interested me so much.

You are responsible for whatever happens to that dog or any other animal. It’s a tough and serious job but I’m up for the challenge because it’s what I want to do for the rest of my

As a child, everyone dreams of what that they want to become in world. Some want to grow up to be doctors, garage drivers, teachers and dancers. My dream has not always been clear to me; I wanted to be a neonatal nurse while I was in high school. I took courses throughout high school, and discovered that nursing was not God’s plan was for me. I did not find out that animal care was what I was truly passionate about until the days after my dog got ran over. Wrapping her bandages, cleaning her wounds and giving her medicine brought to me such joy that I have never felt before. Becoming a veterinarian was not what I planned, but it is was what I become passionate about.

When I think of veterinary medicine I think of an essential part of being a responsible pet owner. Veterinary medicine, much like human medicine, is necessary for the well being of not only us but our companions as well. In the case of zoonotic disease, early detection is key to ensure that the other members of the household don't fall ill. Veterinary professionals have the potential to have a highly rewarding career by improving the lives of pets and the people that love them. Veterinary facilities see dozens of patients a day of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it be for simple routine checkups in a veterinary general practice clinic or saving a severely injured non-human member of the family at the emergency clinic, the entire veterinary team is essential to a smooth running facility. Doctors can tell what is wrong with your pet and prescribe treatment and medicine to make them feel better. Veterinary Technicians can help give your pet what he needs to feel better and explain the care of your pet in depth so it

Many of my friends and family have argued with the idea that I should pursue a more practical career, doctor, lawyer, teacher, to name a few examples. However, I was never attracted to that, I knew that, regarding their background, that they essentially did not really understand what it is to pursue those kinds of careers.

Veterinarians have various tasks that they must do in their job. The first task is that they care for and treat sick or injured animals (Veterinarian). They also inform owners of what is needed for their pet to keep them as healthy as they

When I was a little girl, I had my heart set on being a veterinarian. During middle school I tried to volunteer at the animal hospital. I wanted to learn everything I could about animals and help the veterinarians there, with their job. By the time I entered eighth grade, I knew that I wanted to get more involved. Once it came time to choose classes

Preventive medical care is provied. They vaccinate and provide check-ups to make sure animals stay healthy. Vets give owners advice about animal care and breeding. Like doctors, vets may focus on a one area of medicine. Before becoming a veterinarian, a specific education is needed (“Veterinarian”).

Veterinarians provide medical services for animals that are big and small. Helping sick animals weather they are big or small. They provide medicine for house pets and farm animals. When owners take there pet to the vet they are looking for someone to provide information to them about their animal.
