They never mentioned this at vet school!
Life as a veterinarian is varied . At times it is down right weird! Interesting and often eccentric owners, unlikely situations, a lot of laughs and a lot of tears while trying to keep your sanity in a highly emotionally charged environment. Having been retired from the profession for a few years now, let me share with you the stuff that was never mentioned at vet school.
