For Veterinarians/ aspiring veterinarians, is there a reason you decided to choose that field?
I have always loved animals but I am wondering what my love for the field stems from. I didn't have any pets growing up, as much as I wanted to, but I have always felt a connection to animals when in their presence. I also grew up in an urban setting so I wasn't too exposed to animals besides at the zoo, or a friend's house. Are there any other veterinarians that shared a similar experience growing up?
