...Currently, I am an animal science major with a pre-veterinary emphasis. When I was a kid, I was in charge of a very important task. My dog, Mutt, had just given birth to her first litter of puppies, and she was not very good at being a first time mother. Therefore, I ended up becoming the caretaker of five sweet and vulnerable puppies. From that point, I knew that I would like to care for animal for the rest of my life. Since then, I have cared and endured for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, fish, iguanas, and exotic birds. Every opportunity has been an enjoyable experience. As for now, I do plan to continue to pursue my current major. Then, after I graduate, I plan to attend a vet school to further pursue my degree. The decision has not yet been made as to which veterinary medicine school I will attend. By gaining a specialized degree in the veterinary field, I will be able to treat sick...

...that a sick and scared animals could bite, kick, or somehow injure the person who is helping to treat them (James 97). To be a vet, it is necessary to attend a four year University, and then continue on to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from accredited college of Vet Medicine. Although it isn’t required for acceptance, earning a Bachelor’s degree will increase the odds of getting into a vet school (McKay, Dawn Rosenburg). You have to finish a two to five year residency program and then pass an additional exam. All states require every vet to be professionally licensed to practice private clinical medicine. To acquire such a license, a person has to pass at least one national exam along with a state exam taken in the state which the person plans to practice vet medicine (Likoff, Laurie, et al.). Every state requires all individuals to pass the North American Vet Licensing Exam (McKay, Dawn Rosenburg). The U.S. department of labor reported in May 2013 that the median annual earnings of vets were $86,640, and salaries of vets ranged from $53,270 to $89,850. Being a vet, a person gets to enjoy the benefits of paid vacations, health disability, life insurance, and retirement plans. (Likoff, Laurie, et al.). The first known people that practiced veterinary medicine existed around 900 B.C. in some middle east countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and Iraq. Between 4000 and 3000 B.C, Egyptians practiced earlier medical skills to improve and further advancements...

...GenieTech, one of the company’s two current cartridge suppliers. No The decision between in-house development and external acquisition was critically important. Bergerac was growing fast—averaging 17% annually since 2007—but it remained a small player with limited resources in a very competitive market, and Wyckoff was determined to avoid a costly mistake. He had to make a decision quickly, as the supply of OmniVue cartridges had been inconsistent in recent months. Indeed, the veterinary practice that Wyckoff had just visited had recently been frustrated by a temporary stock-out at their distributor. To maintain Bergerac’s growth trajectory, it was imperative for potential customers to have full confidence in the company’s ability to deliver on its promises. Furthermore, the contract with the other cartridge supplier, Elsinore Plastics, would come up for renegotiation in August 2010—a mere three weeks away.

History of Brant Animal Hospital Professional Corporation Brant Animal Hospital is a well-respected veterinary practice operating in Burlington Ontario. Brant opened its doors in 1985 as a satellite operation to an established veterinary practice, Tyandaga Animal Clinic in Aldershot. Ross Petersen and Elizabeth Shaw, the two founding veterinarians of Brant, were in partnership with two other veterinarians at Tyandaga Animal Clinic. They saw Brant as an opportunity to establish a new practice without risking their current operation by breaking into a new market, and hoped eventually to be able to practice full time from Brant Animal Hospital and sell their ownership in Tyandaga Animal Clinic. Unfortunately for Petersen and Shaw, their part-time efforts yielded part-time results. After five years, they were still unable to operate Brant Animal Hospital on a full-time basis. The operation could afford to have staff available only in the afternoons, equipment was underutilized, and stock was...

...that one can get lost in when it comes to learning about theses things. Some diseases have been around for years while others are still being studied with new ones occurring today in the modern world. Along with these diseases it is important to study and understand what causes them, what signs to look for, what species to look for them in, how to treat them, and how to prevent them from happening, IF you can even prevent them. Some diseases and conditions have vaccines to help with prevention and some do not, while some diseases are zoonotic meaning that they can be transmitted from animal to human. While there are hundreds upon hundreds of diseases to be looked at, the ten researched below are the ones once prevalent among the veterinary technicians job in the clinic; Hip Dysplasia and Ethylene Glycol poisoning in dogs, Hyperthyroidism and Rabies in cats, Strangles and Equine Recurrent Uveitits in Horses, Cryptosporidium and Fasciola Hepatica in Ruminants and Swine, Idiopathic Epilepsy in Aviaries, and Lymphoma in Ferrets. Hip Dysplasia in dogs is a congenial condition caused by a femur that does not fit correctly into the pelvic socket, or poorly developed muscles in the pelvic area.

Although to what degree is caused by genetics versus what portion is caused by environmental factors are a topic of debate....
