Veterinarians often find themselves in the role of both medical expert and emotional anchor, especially during stressful visits be it stressed owners or stressed pets. Take, for instance, routine checkups that unveil unexpected health issues... These situations often require vets to deliver potentially worrisome news with empathy and care, ensuring that pet owners understand the situation while providing comfort and clear guidance on next steps. So while the job might seem fun at first glance, there's so much more that goes into it.

Oh, and we haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to this profession, to be honest. For example, there are emergency cases that come without warning, where vets must act swiftly and decisively. Whether it's a pet that has ingested something harmful or one that's been injured, these urgent situations put a veterinarian's skills to the test. Such incidents are highly stressful for both the pet and the owner, and the vet's ability to remain calm and efficient can make all the difference. It's during these critical hours that the true impact of a vet's work is often felt the most acutely by grateful pet owners.

To add to all of this, veterinarians also contribute significantly to public health through preventative care practices! By administering vaccinations, conducting health screenings, and advising on proper nutrition and care, they prevent diseases that can affect both animals and humans (it's an important job all things considered).

Still, at the end of the day, it's all about the joy of witnessing a pet's recovery and the happiness it brings to its family is profoundly fulfilling for these professionals. I mean, there's a unique satisfaction in seeing an animal bounce back from illness or injury, reinvigorated and ready to enjoy life again. These success stories, often shared through touching pictures or heartfelt thank-yous from pet owners, highlight the rewarding nature of the veterinary profession, and for that, they deserve all of our respect.

Get your puppies vaccinated ASAP and do not let them come into contact with other dogs until they are fully vaxxed! I adopted a puppy from a farm and the farm's owner lied about giving the litter their first vaccines. The puppies all got exposed to distemper on the farm. My pup, Stilgar, survived, but has severe neurological damage (constant, full-body myoclonus) and mobility and balance issues from the virus. Several of his littermates did not survive. Distemper has an 80-90% mortality rate in puppies.

Most brachycephalic dogs cannot give birth normally/naturally. 80% of ALL Frenchies have to have c-sections to give birth because the puppies' skulls are too large for the birth canal. These dogs CANNOT BE BORN NATURALLY. It is not healthy or normal. We, as humans, really need to move away from the extreme brachycephaly of breeds such as the Pug, Frenchies, English bulldogs, etc. These dogs often have massive breathing problems and dental issues as well.
