Veterinary Medicine 2013 hopefuls! (again, early...)

So I may have a job [finally!] at a cattery Only 3 hours a week, but if they like me, who knows?

Awwww kittens! When I was at the vets they had baby Guinea Pigs, bless them. Calves still take the biscuit for cutest baby animals though

good to see the calves are still the cutest, Amy. I might have been gone for a few weeks but things havent changed on this thread

Just found myself a placement with a stables for half term but I'm really struggling to find a vets work placement. They all keep telling me the same things when I phone or visit: "Sorry but our insurance just doesn't allow it" and "We simply don't have enough room to accommodate you!" I'm running out of places to phone up

Ohhh yes. Even though my dairy placement finished a fair few weeks ago I still hold a flame for those lovely calves
If my life fails I might just become a lonely calf lady, and have a house full of calves... until they get too big and then they'll have to go onto better things. I'll just be like Susan Boyle, but with calves instead. Yay. Maybe I'll spend so much time with them I'll actually end up morphing into a calf.


Don't you just want one?

Onto more sensible things, one year until applying people! One yeaaaaaarr

If you can travel into London I can recommend the place I did work experience at. I got to get really involved and they genuinely like having work experience students around, plus the vet is fantastic. PM me if you want the name.

to do veterinary what a levels do you need to take?? I’ve looked at one uni where it said it was compulsory to take chem and another science with that and then also maths? is that the same with all the unis. Any help would be great

Noooo Tortoises are the cutest:
Treacle:

Tamba:

Do tortoises squeal? Or make cute noises? Haha, just showing my lack of knowledge here! But they are pretty adorable.

On the calf thing though, if I had a sanctuary I'd make sure they got proper fresh creamy milk daily, not the unnaturally yellow, bubbly powder stuck. I mean my house would probably smell of mouldy milk from the mess the calves make but it would be so worth it

Ahaha, yeah they do aqueak occasionally, it is normally if they get frightened or in the bath. It's just a big intake of breath really.

We had a calf when I worked on the farm, But he left to become a stud :'( At least it wasn't for steak I guess. Calves are pretty cute, I think it's the eyelashes
