FROM THE FORUM - OLDER VET STUDENTS

"I, too, saw the figures on applications and acceptance
at the vet schools, and I must admit, that little voice
started to whisper doubt into my ear. Maybe this is a
pipe dream.... Maybe I'm not smart enough.... You know,
all that stuff. Kinda depressing.
But, you experienced folks have changed my mind. I am 29,
and I know I can do it.
We need to start a E-circle support group! Who's interested?"

FROM THE FORUM - ANIMAL ABUSE IN VET OFFICE

"I am a veterinary technician who works for a small and
large animal practice with 3 vets. Over the past year,
I have noticed that two of the vets have been abusing
some of the animals....
I can understand defending ones self if being attacked
by an aggressive animal. Is this how they teach veterinarians
to handle animals in vet school? Also, is it common practice
for one vet to see another abusing an animal and not report
them? Some input is greatly needed!!!!!" PUPPYBREATH
