I am currently in pre-vet, and hoping to be accepted into vet school in the near future. I really want to work with large animals, however, I have my doubts if it will be possible, and I am trying to decide what I want to do for sure.
I hope I have made sense here... most likely not
Anyways, any opinions would be great
Thanks a TONNE!

I think all before me have stated it very clear that a good vet is hard to find and even harder to keep. The lure of the easy money (dog & cat) is hard to refuse. Thats what the rookie did, large animal for 2 years, now dog & cat, runs the place like the county hospital, even has a receptionist to file Insurance claims. (not realy) But does have a receptionist and 2 assistants and a long line in the waiting room. He was good with cattle too, what a waste.
Best of luck!

He only charged us $40.00 for an Emergency Farm Call on a Sunday, plus meds. We only live 5 miles from town so it is nice that he is close and I don't have to go 50+ miles. Plus they are all very nice and helpfull and patient when I call with stupid newbie questions.
Good Luck TCFC, If you have true love for animals I am sure you make an awesome vet.
