The reality of dealing with terrible animal owners, sheesh

Animals are more grateful than humans, sometimes I have helped little friends and their happy face almost tells me to thank them, it is something unique in life, and it makes you love being a veterinarian even more.

I would have liked to know about the different branches of this career, being a veterinarian is like being a general practitioner, I always wanted to treat exotic animals, but I am still paying for my first degree, I hope to pay it soon and start my second level as an exotic animal veterinarian.

I wish I knew how much I would enjoy veterinary medicine when I started my career. It can be a challenging and rewarding field, and I am so happy to have chosen it as my career! Every day is different and I never know what to expect, which keeps things interesting.

When I started my career in veterinary medicine, I wish I knew how to better manage my time. There are always new things to learn in this field, and it can be difficult to balance personal and professional commitments. It is important to set priorities and stay organized in order to achieve your goals.

When I started my career in veterinary, I wish I knew how important networking is. It can be hard to make connections when you are just starting out, but it is so important to have a strong network of people who can help you in your career. I would also have liked to know more about the business side of veterinary medicine. There is a lot to learn and it can be overwhelming at times, but it is important to understand the financial aspects of running a clinic or hospital.

I didn't realize how important the business aspect of things would be in this field. I was incredibly overwhelmed when I decided to go out on my own fresh out of school.

We have learned a lot about how to treat animals in the last 15 years. Before, we had to put pets to sleep for things today we only apply a lifelong treatment. I feel that we have advanced a lot, but that does not prevent me from thinking about all those lives we still lose. We need more veterinary researchers.

This “customer is always right” attitude is becoming a dealbreaker. I understand dogs biting out of fear or pain. However, whenever we get aggressive dogs with no training and no warning from the owner, we’re not allowed to do anything except smile and clean our wounds. The head vet has a 0 tolerance policy for speaking up to owners.
