The profession of a veterinarian is a profession that is chosen not based on prestige, career experience and high income in the future, but it is a profession that is chosen to one’s liking. A person must consciously choose this type of activity, and he simply must love animals madly. Love for animals and the desire to help them free of charge is the main quality of a veterinarian, which is the leading one when choosing this profession.

It is worth emphasizing right away that a person who decides to devote his life to rescuing and treating animals must have a number of qualities:

– the most important thing, as mentioned above, is love for animals, without the presence of this love you should not choose this profession;

– have patience, since animals cannot, like humans, explain what hurts them, talk about the symptoms of the disease and guess what kind of disease they have;

– lack of fear, all animals get sick, regardless of their size appearance;

– have composure and fortitude, since you will have to work with various animals, diseases, injuries, which are very unpleasant and can cause disgust.

Students who have chosen the profession of a veterinarian as their companion in life should be prepared that they will have to study almost as much as doctors, they will not have any concessions or a shortened course of study. As a rule, the duration of the educational process is five years, accompanied by mandatory practical exercises. Very great importance in the learning process is given to the anatomical and pharmaceutical areas in order to know who can be treated and with what. Because for different types Animals require different drug treatments and different diagnostic methods.

The advantages of working as a veterinarian include:

1) If a person has chosen the profession of a veterinarian, it means that he loves animals very much and is ready to spend a lot of time with them. Therefore this happy man who enjoys his work because he has made a conscious choice.

2) Now it has become quite fashionable and relevant to keep pets at home. If previously the presence of animals was considered mandatory only in rural areas, now almost every second city resident keeps a pet at home, and they are not always everyone’s favorite cats, dogs, parrots and fish. Wealthier people with financial resources began to give preference to more exotic pets, these could be ferrets, rabbits and even larger wild animals. That is why the work of a veterinarian is now very, very in demand. We have many private pet clinics and hotels that meet high European standards, where they will be happy to welcome a good specialist in this field. Therefore, we can definitely say that this profession is in great demand.

3) The profession of a veterinarian is well paid today.

Typically all overtime hours worked are well paid.

6) Lack of competition in this area. Every year, several times fewer veterinarians graduate than doctors. Not everyone is able to devote their entire life to saving animals. Therefore, there is quite a large choice for a future place of work without fear that it will be difficult to pass the competitive selection.

Disadvantages of being a veterinarian:

1) Almost complete lack of career growth. You will be lucky if the specialist gets a job in a large veterinary institution, where he can grow from a novice doctor to the head doctor of the department. As a rule, working as a veterinarian does not initially imply career advancement.

2) You have to work with completely different animals; today it could be cats and dogs, and tomorrow it could be lizards and parrots. You need to know the specifics of treating each type of animal, what can and cannot be used to treat them. Have excellent anatomical knowledge.

3) You have to constantly develop yourself, since you need to be aware of absolutely all new medications that help some animals and are contraindicated for others. Therefore, it is necessary to study the composition, side effects, dosage and method of administration. Be careful, since a number of drugs periodically become prohibited, and newer and more effective drugs are released to replace them.

4) Animals cannot explain what hurts them. But owners are not always particularly observant and cannot clearly list the symptoms of their pet’s illness. On the contrary, most often with their observations, they can provide unreliable information that initially directs the doctor in the other direction. That is why, when choosing a treatment method, a veterinarian should rely only on personal knowledge and practical skills in order to determine the severity of the disease and prescribe a further course of treatment, or send for the necessary tests.

5) Unfortunately, not all animals can be saved. Some of them die. This always makes the owners very upset. Therefore, cold endurance and nerves of steel are a mandatory factor in the veterinarian profession. For particularly anxious, sensitive people, this profession can negatively affect their overall emotional well-being.

The essence of the veterinarian profession is that it is suitable only for people who sincerely love animals, whose goal is not to get rich and gain financial independence, but to provide assistance and save absolutely everyone, both domestic and wild animals.

In addition, it requires fortitude, composure, lack of disgust and simply a desire to work. Of course, veterinarians do not take the Hippocratic oath, but this should not affect the quality of their work. Only a person with the above qualities can become a truly good professional in this field.
