    Really good video!! I have wanted to be a vet since I was 5 years old, and now at 14 I’m am trying to get a head start. I can’t help out at my local animal hospital until I’m 16. I have gone to help out with an equine vet though, and that was really cool. :]

    I really messed up my first year of college, but i am doing great now and studying 3-4 hours a day for math and science and am feel positive and great about my self, my grades are improving and i have over 600 hours of experience in the Veterinarian hospitals, i work there every summer, been doing it since i was 12, and i am 19 now. I can’t wait to do great and apply to all of the vet schools out there! My back up plan is a PhD in Biology!! I will be extremely happy with both! Good luck to u all

    hey i have a question. I dont want to operate on the animals, i just want to help them recover by working with them. Would that job still be called a veterinarian or would it be called something else like a type of nurse or something??

    @urztruely1 It’s called Veterinary assissantant; I think. I am pretty sure it is, but not 100% positive.

    @mi805 You’d usually deal with most common house hold pets, rodents included; ocassionally, livestock. If you feel squimish working with rodents, and other things like reptiles; it might not work out for you. Being a vet takes serious ambition. There are only 28 collages in the U.S.A (I’m assuming you live in the U.S. too?) that teach vets, and only 2,5000 students at most are accepted each year. Having a problem with dealing with rats might not benifit your chances in bing one of the 2,500.

    @visheshdhillon If you want to study abroad here in the U.S., I can tell you that it takes 8 years of schooling to become a vet if you get accepted in a school. 4 years getting your bacholers, and 4 in vet school.
