God bless the vets and techs. Thanks Dr Y.
I adore vets and their profession. Among the best humans on this planet. I wish I'd have the emotional and mental strenght to take care of our furry friends as a vet but honestly I would buckle in a day.
Fair play to them all for being so awesome and being so caring and devoted. ♥️☘️
Poor Claudia....she never looks too thrilled when it's video time.😂
She's just playing hard to get.
Just 📷📸🎥 shy 😂
Wonderful video, Dr. I am in my 2nd year of an AVMA-accredited Veterinary Medicine Program. I've been working in animal science and vet med on and off for almost a dozen years now, including the 4 years in undergrad and the 2 years just now I'm vet med school. You're right that it's not just the schooling that makes a good vet- it takes a lot of on-site learning and practice. For all those considering vet med: stay strong and keep at it, but be very conscious of your limits. This career will push you.
That's quite a long process. Lucky for all of us that you want to share your expertise. Making the world a better place, 1,000 cat families at a time.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Vets are my favorite people 😁😁😁
Thank you Dr. B and all the good vets out there.
It takes as long as a human doctor - especially if a specialty is involved.
Hehehe...And what did you get from 5 years in Sydney? Mr Pirate!!! 😹😹😹
Best part of my degree! ❤
Appreciate the honesty re your undergrad experience. Nothing wrong with enjoying yourself. Curious as to why you selected Sydney, Australia.
It’s so hard to find an honest and truly caring vet, i have been to multiple places and it seems like they are all after the money. They try to sell unnecessary treatments or tests which 90% of the time are pointless and they know exactly what is wrong with your dog before the fact. They just upsell to the max or else they would make no money.
❤
How does your second opinion visits work? Do you do them via video chat or will it need to be in person? Also, do you have a video about when to know it is time to put your cat to sleep? I’m sorry for asking so many questions. I know you are very busy Dr. Uri. Have a wonderful day or night… depending on when you read this message. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The background picture is at UC Davis! (I’m an undergrad but had an internship at VMTH) Did you go there for vet school? I’ve heard the fourth years saying they have to work on weekends too.
Lol, no, just a generic pic.

Hello Doc, i have a beagle and since 1 month his right part of the chest is twitching even at rest for some particular amount. Giving him medrol tabs-seems to work, after medication was over yesterday, the twitching is back... Previsioly he used to shout in pain mid walk but then again continue walk normally like nothing happened. Vets here can't seem to find he isssue....
Interesting, I'd like to do something in the veterinary field that doesn't take as long and Dr. Burstyn if you see this, I was wondering if you gave any calico patients
You can get hands-on training as a vet tech, in a vet's office.
Depends on where you're from tbh. In Central Asia (and all Post-Soviet countries I suppose) you only need 4 years for a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (or 6 including Masters if you're aiming for a prestigious clinic), then you'll spend a couple years at the bottom of the proverbial career totem pole (technically a vet but mostly doing vet nurse duties), and that's it. The quality of education sucks though.
@@kaworunagisa4009 She already stated she doesn't want to do that, take so much time. So hands on, on the job training as a vet tech takes far less time.
Vet tech is a great career option. Techs are in high demand and will be for at least the next decade, it's only 2 years of college and you get to do most the fun parts of vet work and none of the really stressful ones (like dealing with clients and money).
Hello, can we get a video about measuring cat blood pressure at home with a petMAP or similar machine that we can get from the vet?
Context, our cat is 17 year old rescue, she's extremely afraid of people besides us, taking her to the vet necessitates sedation, strong sedation, they literally can't do anything with her, she'll be so scared, angry and defensive that any weak calming medication will be ignored through sheer will. The vet won't be able to handle her at all. So measuring her blood pressure while sedated at the vet, will not give the best readings, we need to measure the blood pressure at home. I go for the tail on that, but it would be nice to have a good visual guide, I'm never sure I'm doing it right. The kitty has stage 2 kidney disease, possible future heart trouble, and some bowel irritation, so we have her on a special diet (finding one she'll take was a challenge, I cooked for her) and she gets B12 injections once a month, as well has two puffs of an asthma inhaler daily (flovent) -she had a chronic cough before. All n all, it's not as much work as some previous pets with under the skin fluids and many other daily things and pills.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey Uri im 53 would that be too old to start training as a vet? id be like 61-63 by time im trained up lol just curious
My husband had a classmate in his vet school class was 50 when they started their freshman year of veterinary school.
Another classmate had gone to medical school previously and upon graduation was Dr B____ MD, DVM
I would trust an older vet with recent training. You will not be too old.
Don't be so silly, of course you're too old. You'd be stealing a place from someone who could contribute.

@@rogerborg thanks
Just having had a active deployment to a combat zone…
A veterinary clinic can be a bit of a battlefield, but it is an inconvenient synonym, isn't it?
@@HelpfulVancouverVet *The Chaser's War on Everything* [Australian satirical show] once did a bit where they responded to a After the News "current affairs" show that had a reaction to one of their skits by a Vietnam vet.
Annoyed that apparently all you needed to be qualified to have a opinion was being a Vietnam Vet, they got a Vietnamese Animal Doctor to give his opinion that the current affairs show was crap.
I pray vets care about my animals, the same way, I hope my doctor cares about me. But who knows what they're really thinking?
