I have been at work experience at a lovely mixed vet
practice this week which has been a nice break from shop work (especially the
week before Christmas!). I think it has been my favourite vet placement so far,
I have seen so much!
The practice sees lots of exotics so I had the chance to
meet a chameleon and some bearded dragons, and watch surgery on a snake. I have
always thought that exotics is something I’d really like to specialise in if I
ever get to be a vet, but I hadn’t had much experience in that area before this
week. Now I know for definite that it’s an area I find really interesting.
I didn’t manage to see as much equine as I was hoping (it
was kind of the reason I wanted to go to a mixed practice!), just a few visits
for vaccinations. I’m sad I can’t spend a bit more time there but they’re
closing early for Christmas so I have only done the four days this week. If I
get into vet school I’d love to go back there for EMS.
Now it’s back to normal work for a couple of days and then
CHRISTMAS, which means a day of overeating and sleeping lots. I’m going to my Nan’s
house for Christmas day and she makes reeeally good mince pies. Yummeh!
Hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year. I will try
not to leave it weeks before updating again.
