Ive been volunteering at a humane societies vet clinic on a native american reservation for the past 4 months. Part of becoming a vet is getting numb to loss, but the amount you experience here I don't think you can become numb to. I feel like I only come back on here recently, in the middle...

• dont aim it straight at the back unless you want a mess lol •two is better if you have bio active viv • tie down or its loud. Especially if its near a wall... dear god. • Dont aim it at your chams favorite spot or it wont be their favorite spot for long. • the hole you put in the bucket...

A pre vet program? There isnt much you can do outside of being a tech. Most vets, by most I mean like 90% of the ones I know and everyone Ive ever gone to school with knows, will not let you shadow unless youre a college student. Once youre a freshman then you can add shadowing to the list...

Every time I see this many branches and vines Im reminded I STILL dont have enough places for my chameleon to climb.

I hear my wifes voice echoing in the back of my head. ?

Yeah were told this too. One of my professors corrected this a bit though. Were told that vets who are women are 3.5x more likely and men are 2.5x more likely. That statistic is a bit innacurate because women now make up 65-70% of veterinarians. The likelyhood is, in reality, almost the exact...

Im 28 now and just starting, I'm quite a bit older than everyone else because of this exact scenario. I worked at a non profit animal shelter that did surgeries with the local vets that were willing to donate their skills. Problem was the animal shelter abused all their animals in the form of...

:unsure: I couldn't find any supporting articles. But I know from the probably close to 1000 lectures and the large pool of vets that Ive gotten to know over the last year, this number is brought up a lot. They tell us on day one that according to statistics 10 of the 126 of us will commit...

Out of the 126 students in my class theres only 3 of us that I know of willing to even look at a reptile let alone make one pissed enough to force a medical syringe into the back of its mouth.

This. Multiple times a day. ? For me it's the completely solvable situations but the owner refuses to properly care for their animal or an animal is being physically abused (usually cats) and you can't say anything or do anything about it.

Have you done any long term shadowing?

Oh I thought about it. Did well enough on the MCAT to apply.

Sure! The mental stress. The surgeries are something thats hard to learn, but something that never gets easy are the people. Vets have the 2nd highest suicide rate of any profession just after police officers. 70-80 hour work weeks for less than half the pay of an MD probably doesnt help. Edit...

What you think becoming a vet looks like,what it actually looks like (bottoms me) (not me, student I'm in servitude with. Neuter and Spay oppertunity we did out of Alpine Animal Hospital...it's 2 am.) Truth be told its been great, hard to adjust and a ton of work but definitely worth it. Was it...

Whats worse than OChem, molecular bio, anatomy and phys, plus their corresponding labs all in one semester? Ochem, molecular bio, anatomy and phys, plus their corresponding labs...online. ? why did I do this to myself?

The absolute most wild care of a chameleon ive seen in some time. What on Earth is going on here?

The rain drip setup is worth every penny. I struggled forever getting Koba to stay consistently hydrated. Pretty sure the dripping triggers the need to drink. (I used a basic drip system before... never worked)
