hows the life of a vet

Hello Michael,

A Day in a Veterinarian's Life

On a typical day a veterinarian working with small animals, for example dogs, cats, birds and reptiles, in clinical practice will:

-diagnose animals' health problems
-vaccinate their patients against diseases, such as distemper and rabies
-medicate animals suffering from infections or illnesses
-treat and dress wounds
-set fractures
-perform surgery
-advise owners about animal feeding, behavior and breeding
-euthanize animals when necessary
-On a typical day a veterinarian working with large animals, primarily horses and cows, will:

-provide preventive care to maintain the health of food animals
-test for and vaccinate against diseases
-consult with farm or ranch owners and managers on animal production, feeding, and housing issues
-treat and dress wounds, set fractures, and perform surgery

To become a veterinarian one must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from an accredited college of veterinary medicine.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an excellent outlook for this occupation. The agency predicts it will experience faster job growth, through 2020, than most other occupations that require at least a master's degree
