Calling all vets...

[sbk1234]

My daughter is doing a project for her third grade class where she needs to ask a veterinarian some questions about the job. Are there any vets out there who can help? She would really appreciate it. Feel free to pm me if you can help. The assignment is due on Wednesday. Thanks a lot!

Why don't you post the questions?

good idea. here goes.

1. How do you put shots in animals without hurting them?
2. Is it difficult to euthanize animals?
3. Do you have to euthanize animals if the owner wants to, but you don't think it should be done?
4. How much education do you need to become a vet?
5. Is it very hard work?
6. What is your typical day like?
7. Do most owners keep their pets healthy?
8. Do you like your job?

Again, thanks. She will need to site sources, so if you don't want it shown on the thread, please, just message me with it.
