Veterinarian

Realizing that substandard animal care was generally not due to lack of compassion, but lack of education and finances, I worked closely with local veterinarians to find balance between what is medically possible and financially feasible. Limited resources often stood in the way of quality medical care for aging pets, leading to owner surrender or euthanasia. Many of these pets were suffering with untreated…

There are positive and negative aspects to being an animal shelter veterinarian. The most difficult part of being an animal shelter veterinarian is dealing with the behavioral problems of the shelter animals. “Animal Behavior for Shelter Veterinarians and Staff” supports my view that animal shelter veterinarians are required to deal with serious animal aggression and trauma. Shelter animals tend to have more behavioral problems than animals brought into a regular veterinary clinic. It is…

Poor Chameleon Have you ever had a deep passion? My main burning passion is for all animals, and it has been since I can remember. The Summer of my sophomore year I followed that passion of mine to see where it would lead me. I decided the best place to start was my Veterinary office, Needham Animal Hospital. When I walked in, it was a bit strange not having my dogs or cats with me because everyone else had their pets. So there I was, awkwardly holding a recommendation letter (and a pretty…

They should ask for recommendations from a veterinarian, as well as for you to prove that you are able to sustain the health and well-being of the animal over the long-term. They'll have clean, spacious quarters for all of their animals and you'll be allowed to inspect them. Also, any questions you…

My junior year of highschool, I failed to grow grass three times. My environmental science teacher informed us that we would be growing grass in our own terrariums. I had tried growing plants at home multiple times with no success, and thus, informed my teacher that I might struggle with this assignment. He assured me that I was doing well in the class and that he had never had a student fail the assignment. However, as the week went on and my peers began to watch their grass emerge, my…

Thomas Jefferson once said, “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” As an implied student at Colorado High School, I have many goals that I have set throughout the years. Most of them are for personal reasons, and others to help me be successful and at my best as possible. On the afternoon of October 12th, 2026, I hope to still be continuing my education at Texas A&M’s graduate school of…

My time as a Veterinary Technician taught me many things. From how to draw shots to how to take x-rays. One of the most common lessons I learned was how to spay a female canine. Although the Veterinarian is the only one allowed to be “hands-in” during surgery, I learned a lot from watching the procedure. Surgery preparations begin the day before. The patient in question is dropped off and spends the night. Vet Techs are busy cleaning and “cooking” surgical tools and cutting drapes. Also,…
