Q. My sister is thinking about being an animal cop, but she wants to know how many years of college she has to take. Also, I want to become a vet, but is there a vet that just does check-ups instead of surgery? Kind of like a nurse? And, is there a type of vet that can check on any animal: small animals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, zoo animals, and the animals on shows like Animal Cop? I really want this to be my career. Thank you in advance for your time. :)
A. ANimal cop might just need training and a high school diploma but depends on the department. The best thing for your sister to do is get an associate degree a two year degree and she can become a cop but people with higher degrees would compete against her for the job.A vet like a nurse is a vet tech and the vet that does small animals, like small animals, reptiles, amphibians is called an exotic vet and a vet who sespecializesn birds in an avian vet ans zoo animals is a zoo vet with didifferentraining.
What are the advantages of the Czar structure being implemented by this administration?
Q. For Obama, it means no vetting or questioning of these appointees by Congress and the complete oversight and control of their activities by the White House. How does this affect the citizens of this country? How does such a structure benefit us?
A. there are advantages for obama but not for americans. obama wants to bypass congress so he can implement his socialist agenda. it will benefit him but not us.
How long should I wait before I start working my horse after a bout of collic?
Q. My 9 yr old OTTB had collic yesterday morning. I called the vet out, and he tubed him, and did all the normail things required for collic. He is now fine (I have lessoned his food on instruction from the vet). My question is: how long should I keep his food lessoned, I assume I would need to gradually build him back up (he is already thin); and, when should I resume doing any form of exercise with him?
A. You've already received some good advice...I just want to add that one of my horses tends to colic. I switched him to Purina Senior feed a couple years ago and he's done much better on it since it is more easily digestible. In fact, he hasn't colicked at all since we switched (knock on wood!) You might discuss this with your vet. He is also a hard one to keep weight on, but does very well on the Senior formula.
What otc pain and/or anti-inflammatory meds can I give my dog for his knee ligament injury?
Q. The vet said it will be fine in a couple of weeks, and not to do anything. Also, is rest necessary, or should I walk him for exercise? I forgot to ask the vet this question, and it's hard to get in quickly to see him.
Linus is 13 lbs.
The vet is a low cost fast turnaround type of guy, and they never answer the phone, so I can't ask him.
To the second answerer, did you ever give a dog ibuprofen?

A. Omega 3 (fish oil) might help, it won't hurt. I have taken 'shark cartilage' for tennis elbow and many runners take it all the time. It cleared up my tennis elbow in a very short time. The alternative -the doctors orders- was to take 800 ml of Ibuprofen twice a day for two to four weeks and likely have stomach ulcers from them. I wouldn't give a small dog an ibuprofen.
Best to do something you know will not hurt him or follow the vets instructions. Think of your 13 lb dog as a 13 lb baby. Would you give something that potent to someone that small? People medicine should never be given to dogs unless the vet says so. Their systems are much different. That is why sugar free gum will kill a dog, but not a child or adult.
