“I want to be a vet” is a common childhood dream… but I’m curious just how widespread it is!

It’s been raining 🌧️🌂 so heavily that the city has declared a red alert ‼️ Also been tracking my sleep 💤 and I seem to have improved my morning wake up times ⏰ and have been thankfully getting 7-8 hours per night. 🌃

Finished my 3rd semester of vet school! I’m now 37.5% a vet! Exhausted but so glad it’s over. I’ll try to post more of the dogs since I’m on break

Sometimes when I'm feeling unmotivated I search student core or aesthetic just to give me that vibe. Does it work? Sometimes.
I've also been watching a lot of "study with me" lives, it makes me feel less lonely. It's sunny outside, it's quite hot still and I don't know about you but it's the rain and the cold that actually put me in the mood to sit down at my desk and study.
Anyway kudos to anyone that is studying today, I'm with you. I hope you are having a great day!

Any vets out there that took a non-traditional path? I'm thinking of taking a few years in-between to finish a few classes and gain experience.
Any advice is welcome as all the veterinarians I know went directly after undergrad and have been no help.

🏆⚽🐛 The Worm Cup 🐛⚽🏆
The scolex (head) of the intestinal tapeworm looks like the soccer/football World Cup trophy!

This image shows the pork tapeworm Taenia solium, an intestinal parasite found in countries where pork is eaten. This is just the head of the worm (the scolex) with its terrifying looking, hooked rostellum which is used to attach itself onto your intestinal wall so that you don’t poop it out easily.
Full grown worms can grow to around two or three meters in length and are composed of numerous segments each of which form their own reproductive unit.
The life cycle of the parasite begins when pigs ingest the tenia solium eggs (from fecal contamination) and these eggs develop into larvae in the pigs which migrate through the intestinal wall and form cysts in the muscle and tissues. Once slaughtered for meat, the larvae can be ingested by humans if the pork is eaten uncooked or undercooked. Once in the human small intestine the larvae grow into the large adult worms where they persist often unnoticed due to the lack of symptoms associated with their existence. The worms release eggs into the intestines which are released during defecation thus completing the cycle.
A major complication of infection with T. solium is Cysticercosis. This is a parasitic tissue infection caused by the larval cysts of the tapeworm. These larval cysts infect brain, muscle, or other tissue, and are a major cause of adult onset seizures. A person only gets cysticercosis by swallowing the eggs found in the feces of a person who has an intestinal tapeworm NOT from contracting a tapeworm by eating undercooked pork itself. So people living in the same household with someone who has a tapeworm have a much higher risk of getting cysticercosis than people who don’t because they can be exposed to the eggs released in the stool.

I haven't posted in so long! Here's a little update, I've passed my vetGDP which means I no longer count as a new grad vet anymore... more of a recent grad 😆 I've also been working for over a year now. I've dealt with some crazy cases in that time, I've got my own regular clients that will only see me, I've stopped freaking out when an emergency comes in, and I'm doing bitch spays solo now. I'm a lot more relaxed about this whole job on the whole 😌 if anyone has any questions about life as a new grad or vet school, feel free to ask away! I've had some vet students at the practice and while it's nice to give back to the future vets and their education, it's also nice to see how far I've come myself 😊

I was going through my phone looking at old pictures and I realised I NEVER POSTED MY HORRIBLE GOOSE SPREAD. This mistake needs to be rectified. Fully inspired by the clothes tag in the bottom right corner saying "big goose" 🪿

rainy weekends
Candles make studying at home a lot less depressing, I usually go somewhere but the weather didn't really allow it.
Phisiology is killing me a bit, if I stick to my schedule I should another 50 pages maybe even more if I want to do the examn on October, is it too crazy?
