Veterinarians give clinical advice and diagnose illness or injuries in all types of animals and provide treatment and surgery if necessary. You also give advice on ways to prevent the occurrence or spread of disease and provide information about ways to help keep animals healthy and productive.
Each day will be varied and interesting. You will examine sick and injured animals, treating them with the appropriate medications required, take tissue samples from some of the sick animals to identify their illness and advise clients how to better care for their animals.
You don’t become a vet for the financial reward. The salaries are OK not great and the tertiary qualifications are up there. However it is very rewarding to see the joy on owners’ faces when you reunite them with their pet that you have nursed back to good health. Now that’s what being a vet is all about.
