In grade ten, focus on taking biology, chemistry, and math courses to build a strong foundation for a future in veterinary medicine. Additionally, consider taking advanced science classes or electives related to animal science or anatomy to further prepare for a career as a veterinarian.

While a Master's in zoology can provide a strong foundation in animal biology and behavior, it may not be sufficient on its own to become a vet. Additional coursework in pre-veterinary studies, such as anatomy, physiology, and animal health, may be required for entrance into a veterinary program. It's important to research the specific requirements of veterinary schools to ensure you meet their prerequisites.

To become a veterinarian in the US, you typically need a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from an accredited veterinary college, which usually takes around 8 years of education and clinical training. You also need to pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) and any other state-specific requirements for licensure. gaining hands-on experience through internships, externships, or volunteer work in veterinary settings can also be beneficial.

In general, no - at 14 you are not emotionally or mentally mature enough to work around animals that are sedated, anxious or in pain and therefore may not react as normal. In addition, veterinary clinics are hazardous work environments - needles, biological fluids that may be contaminated with bacteria, slips/falls, radiation exposure, animal attacks (bites, scratches) and hazardous chemicals and drugs such as anesthetic gases.

I would recommend waiting until you are 16 before applying to work at a vet clinic, and then only working in the kennel with the boarding/grooming animals that are otherwise healthy and mentally normal. At 18 with demonstrated maturity and ability to work well with animals, then you can start working directly with the animal patients.

Veterinary bioscience typically focuses on the study of diseases and healthcare in animals. Animal and veterinary bioscience, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of topics including animal behavior, nutrition, genetics, and welfare in addition to veterinary sciences.

Yes, a dog could become sick from eating cooked salmon that was left out overnight as it could contain harmful bacteria that may cause food poisoning. It is best to avoid feeding your dog any food that has been left out at room temperature for an extended period of time. If your dog shows any signs of illness, it is important to consult with a veterinarian.

In general, treatment for influenza consists of medical support - IV fluids if the animal is dehydrated, antibiotics for any secondary bacterial infections, etc. There are no antivirals for animals, unlike for humans.

A colt is an immature intact male horse, so it is likely that the colt will not be able to impregnate a mare as he is sexually immature. However, if you wish to have a stallion service a mare, it is recommended that the stallion be evaluated on a breeding soundness exam (BSE) prior to starting service. This will help determine if the stud is fertile by examining the external genitalia as well as the semen.

Male horses are called colts as opposed to stallions until they turn 5. Colts are

often fertile and interested in mares as 2 year olds. Depending on the reason for this question (whether the inquiry is being made because the inquirer is hopeful that a mare will get pregnant or hoping that a colt can remain with a mare and not get her pregnant) is the main issue. If the colt shows an interest, it probably can get the mare pregnant.

One guy said he was one of the trainers for Shamu and made $250,000 or higher! Who ever told you that was very mistaken! Trainers might make $25,000 after they have been there for a while. Trainers are one of the better paid jobs at Seaworld and the pay varries..but don't expect to get rich. Trainers sure aren't there for the money, or any animal care professional for that matter. I've hardly been makin enough to live but I love my job!!

A veterinarian who treats all types of animals is called a general or mixed animal veterinarian. They are trained to provide medical care to a wide range of animals including small animals (dogs, cats), large animals (horses, cows), exotic pets, and sometimes even wildlife.

DAMD means; Domestic Animal Medical Doctor

This varies depending upon the clinic, although most operate on fairly standard retail hours of 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. Some clinics will unlock their doors earlier to allow surgical drop-offs and early appointments in out of the weather, while others will stay open later to accomodate clients who work 9-5 and can't be in to the clinic by 6. Also, some clinics operate on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, depending upon client demand.

It depends on the bone that is broken, how it is broken and how old the horse is. Tail bones (coccyx and caudal vertebrae) will generally be left to heal on their own without the need to set or cast the injury; leg bones will generally not heal even if a cast is placed over the break. Also, a smooth break tends to heal worse than a jagged break, because all the cracks and crevices in a jagged break help hold the pieces together. Finally, a young horse (colt, filly, yearling) will typically heal from broken bones better than a mature horse (mare, stallion, gelding) due to the increased weight placed on the skeleton.

When a vaccine is given to an animal, the animal's immune system produces antibodies to fight off the disease. This way, if the animal is ever infected by the disease it was vaccinated against, the animal will either not get sick or not get as sick.

the thinner of the 2 bones found within a drumstick is called the fibula, just as it is in humans

Herrings usually swim in schools with other herrings for protection, better foraging opportunities, and reproduction. Swimming in schools helps herrings to confuse predators and improve their chances of survival.

Large animal vets typically work with livestock animals such as cows, horses, sheep, and pigs. They provide medical care, perform surgeries, administer vaccinations, and offer preventative care to keep the animals healthy. Large animal vets may also perform reproductive services and consult on farm management practices to maintain the well-being of the herd.

A chicken's wing has muscles that control the movement of the elbow joint. These muscles contract and relax to move the wing up and down, allowing for flight and other wing-related activities. The tendons in the wing help transmit the force generated by the muscles to the bones, enabling movement at the elbow joint.

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body and transporting carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled. Their biconcave shape and hemoglobin content allow them to efficiently carry out this function.

Amprolium is not an organism, so is not an antibiotic in the sense I think you mean. It is an analog of Vitamin B1, and works by preventing the uptake of thiamine (B1) by the organism which causes coccidiosis. Amprolium makes the creature's body an environment hostile to the development of coccidiosis, without actually attacking the coccidiosis organism. It's like a placebo food for the coccidiosis microbe, which gets no nourishment from it. To some degree amprolium also reduces the uptake of thiamine in the creature who is eating amprolium in its feed, so it is only administered until the young chickens are old enough to have built up an immunity to coccidiosis, from low-level environmental exposure to it. Then they are switched to unmedicated feed. (This is fairly common for management of small poultry flocks; I can't speak about the management of large-scale operations.) Using amprolium does not contribute to drug-resistant microbes.

Yes, it is possible to be a veterinarian without performing surgeries or euthanizing animals. Some veterinarians specialize in areas such as preventive care, diagnostics, or behavior, where surgical procedures may not be common. It is important to find a veterinary specialty that aligns with your skills and interests.

They are small outprojections of the cuticle of the nematode in the cervical ('neck') region. They look like small spines, nematodes with cervical papillae include Ostertagia species and Haemonchus contortus.

Jamaica's requirements for veterinary education are similar to those in countries around the world - you would need to attend a school of veterinary medicine and complete the full curriculum. This will cover anatomy, physiology, pathology, epidemiology, pharmacology, molecular biology, technical skills and communications at a minimum.

Vaccinating horses for tetanus is important because tetanus is a potentially fatal disease caused by bacteria found in the soil. Horses are particularly susceptible to tetanus due to their grazing habits and exposure to cuts and wounds. Vaccination helps protect horses by boosting their immune response against the tetanus toxin, reducing the risk of infection and ensuring their overall health and wellbeing.
