Caring for the Big Guy

Caring for the Big Guys
Working as a veterinarians you care for animals. Caring for animals is like caring for your loving children... You have to feed them, wash them, and love for them... But working as a veterinarian you work with daily appointments with the animals, some spent there time treating animals at the farms which allows them to drive or be out on the road. The care for the animals is vaccinating livestock, they as treat wounds,diagnose disease, treat sick animals, and help with the difficult births...
All in a Day's Work
Some veterinarians work up to 50 to 60 hours a week.( thats lots of hour to work)..But sometimes up to 100 hour a week when you first start the career... Being out on the field you have to be careful because many animals are not use to being area people... Like for Horses for example you have to make sure you don't get the horse mad because they can kick you. They can kick hard...
Out-of-the-Ordinary Patients
Many animals are being treated today... Like cattles,pigs, sheeps,Llamas, and goats is the business for a large animal veterinary practice.( but this is not surprising). Many of these huge animals need care, too...
