Veterinary Science is the right course for those who not only love animals, but want to do something for them to make their lives better…
Do you love animals so much that you won’t hesitate to amputate an animal to save its life? “It is important for a veterinary doctor to have love for the animals and life in general. But according to me, the most important aspect of becoming a veterinary doctor is to make impassive decisions. Sometimes a pet might need amputation in order to save its life. It might seem to be harsh, but it is the decision, which will save the animal’s life. Doctors should not take emotional decisions, as these decisions might do more harm than good,” says Dr. Pradeep Rana, Founder of Dr. Rana’s Pet Clinic.
Man-animal connect
Archaeological evidence suggests that veterinary procedures were performed even during the Neolithic era. Modern-day veterinarian science began when Claude Bourgel founded the first veterinarian school at Lyon, France, in 1762. The need for veterinarian has always been acute in India as we are heavily dependent on cattle.
In recent times, people have also started to keep pets. This trend is especially noticeable in urban areas. Most of these pets live in conditions that are not ideal for their growth. These conditions might be comfortable for them, but they are not conducive to the wellbeing of pets. Most of these pets live in cramped or closed conditions. Due to this factor, a large number of these pets have ailments on a regular basis. This has resulted in a huge demand for veterinary doctors who specialise in small animals or pets.
