No. Until a while ago I had my heart set on becoming a vet nurse...then I changed my mind. I was never good enough at maths and science to become a vet surgeon.

I'm intelligent, don't get me wrong (7A*s and 4 As at GCSE) but more of an arts person than sciences.

those grades are MORE than adequete.

^ How do you mean?

City Chic - with those grades you must be pretty good at maths and sciences! GCSE A means your pretty good at something - I only got a B in GCSE chem anyway and I managed the A-level (or so i hope!). If you really want to be a vet theres no reason why you can't with those grades. However, if you want to be a VN theres no reason why u should be a vet instead! Just carry on with your work exp and see which u prefer!

If I chose to be a veterinary surgeon now, I'd have to repeat a year and take two more sciences/another science and maths. I really don't want to have to do that.

Look at nottingham 6 year course (not the lincoln one tho) they accept students who take arts subjects with a maximum of one science including maths. They ask for AAB as a standard offer and unlike RVC and notts lincoln course, its available to anyone regardless of family situation/whether your parents have gone to uni etc.

-Probably a C-section on a cat where the kittens had started to reabsorb they were all deformed and one was still like a foetus.
-Any c-section where the pups all live.
-Eye removal was pretty interesting.
-Amputation of a cats leg that had a bone tumour.
-Removing two large oval magnets from a dog that had ate them and they were stuck in his bowel.
-Dog with a broken jaw.
-Most of the small animal medicine in Africa as its done so basically compared to here.
-Treating a baby giraffe in africa. In fact most stuff in africa was pretty interesting.
-Fertility testing bulls is funny the first time.
