My favorite part is solving the puzzle - putting together the little bits of information and figuring out what the disease is, including how it started, how it progressed and why it is now at the stage that I am seeing it at. Other fun parts include seeing a healthy pet go home with its owner after being ill, getting to pet and play with the babies every spring (although you can't do this too much) and being a vital part of the community.

∙ 11y agoVets seem to get into the business because they are passionate about it. This makes for a happy, pleasant group of people. Not to be morbid, but the suicide rate amongst veternarians is extraordinarily low (very high for Police and law enforcement; lower still for clergymen).
Your knowledge has to be far broader than human doctors, who tend towards specialization. If you talk honestly with your clients, you don't have much if any malpractice worries.
If you get bored with one aspect (such as small animal general practice), you can reinvent yourself in your career and do something completely different like epidemiologic investigations.

∙ 11y agoTo me, one of the best parts is the feeling of success when you have diagnosed an illness or condition in an animal. From the diagnosis, you can plan your treatment, educate the owner about the disease and its potential outcomes, etc. Without the diagnosis, you are flailing about in the dark, trying this or that but working without a plan or a goal.
Veterinarians also tend to enjoy the satisfaction of causing an owner to be happy with the return of a healthy pet, the deep knowledge that every day he/she is making life a little better for patients and owners, and the interaction with a good team of medical professionals.

Are there any other places veterinarians work?
Most veterinarians work in private practice clinics around the world, treating privately owned animals. However, some work in zoos and wildlife parks, others work in the pharmaceutical industry, there are veterinarians in the military and some that work in the government. In many cases, when a veterinarian is not in private practice, their job title does not include "veterinarian", so it can be hard to figure out where the veterinarians are and what they are doing.
Do veterinarians get hurt on their job?
Yes, veterinarians can and do get hurt treating animals. Small animal veterinarians tend to have needle sticks, slips/falls, bites from aggressive animals. Large animal veterinarians also have needle sticks and slips/falls, but are at more risk for injury from exposure to the elements and kicks from animals.
