  1. I love animals, and I knew that I wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. Do you have any advice that might aid me on my career path? I just finished high school, but I think that I want to eventually focus on small animal surgery. Thanks for your help.

  2. I really appreciate you sharing this info! I've been online looking for some insights on what to look for in a quality 24 hour vet, but I haven't had any success yet. This helped a ton though, and I feel confident that I'll find one soon.

  3. My dog was hit by a car last week so I had to bring him to an emergency vet. His life wasn't in any danger but he had two broken legs and some abrasions on his body. It was the first time I had dealt with anything like that before. http://www.riverviewvets.com/small-animal-services.html

  4. I'm really glad that there are things like this. I can't imagine what I would do if I lost my pet because there wasn't an emergency vet. I honestly hope these sort of things get more popular, because you never know when something bad could happen.

  5. I think that's great that you have an in-house stat laboratory. I think it's so important for emergency animal hospitals to have those. Thanks for sharing and making sure all animals are taken care of. It really does mean a lot! http://www.hamiltonavepethospital.com/services
