dogs

Dear Vets, I am a dog parent of an otherwise healthy Shetland Sheepdog who has recently succumbed to cirrhosis of the liver and who has been given a week to live. A partial or full transplant is her only hope. I have contacted a number of vets, including a Prof. of Vet Med from UC Davis. Their...

Hey everyone. Is owning a dog or two while being in vet school doable? Those who have done it, can you talk about the experience? I show/train/compete in dog competitions with my one dog and plan on adding another in a year, before I hopefully go to vet school in a couple years.

Hi, I know lots of people have posted about this before but I am really hoping to only have the opinions of people who have had dogs while in medical school/residency. I am starting school in August and have found a goldendoodle puppy that I really want! I grew up raising dogs and find a lot...

My husband is studying for the MCAT to take this summer. I noticed he's been very stressed out and isolated. I was thinking about getting him a puppy to help relieve some of his stress and take away some of the unavoidable depression that comes with preparing for the MCAT's. Would that be a good...

So, here's my dilemma. I love the idea of being a vet. I want to learn all the medical aspects and work with and for animals. However, the last thing I want to do is work with pets. I want to go into vet school to become a zoo/wildlife veterinarian, I've been volunteering at a zoological...
