Omar’s Answer

If you’ve ever looked into the innocent eyes of an animal that has an unexplained fear of people, an animal that quivers thinking it could be beaten at any time for reasons that aren’t understood, then you know what type of gut wrenching feeling that invokes. Animal cruelty can occur in more forms than just physical violence, it can also include negligence, hording, and abandonment to name a few. I see cases on a routine basis where an animal owner doesn’t even realize that they are being negligent to their pet. Domesticated animals rely on their owners to not only provide food, water, and shelter, but a nurturing environment as well. As veterinarians, we are ethically bound to report suspected cases of abuse. That alone, however, is not enough to avoid the sickening feeling we get knowing that it occurs and seeing it first hand in our clinics.

Todd’s Answer

This is difficult to answer because I think everyone has subjects that were hard or easy depending on the individual. I do know I wish I had taken more business, finance, and communication courses while I was in undergraduate. Most Vet schools teach more of these subjects now than when I was in school.

Todd recommends the following next steps:

Learning to establish goals with a written plan to follow is very important in any field. Another important thing is good, organized study habits. Most schools have some sort of info or courses on this to help students. Dont be afraid to ask, several times if needed, for the help or information you need.
