I am looking for a homeopathic veterinarian in central Ohio. Can anyone help me?

Q. I have been through the yellow pages both in the book and online. I've even done a lot of research online regarding the topic, but haven't yet been able to locate someone. Thanks for any (serious) help you can give me!

A. Hi Jen...I have found that by contacting and speaking with several local veterinarians someone will know a colleague locally who provides homeopathic treatments. Nearly all vets usually work cooperatively to offer clients alternative treatment options.


What are the requirements to be a Veterinarian in Canada?
Q. I'm a Senior in High School and I would like to be a veterinarian in Canada. The problem is that I am not in the science package which comprises of Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Can I still become a vet? If yes, what do I have to do to become one?
So does it matter if I take the 3 sciences in High school or not?

A. You need all 3 sciences, and math at the grade 12 level. Those are the most important. My Uncle, who is a cancer researcher for dogs, told me it would help if you got an undergraduate degree in something Biology related. For example, some sort of cell biology.

You can try and catch up and get all 3 sciences from online courses, or taking summer courses.

Cheers.

How can I go about becoming a Veterinarian?
Q. I'm a sophomore in HS right now, and I'm looking to become a Vet. I don't understand all of the requirements, and have looked online but haven't found something that explains it all in layman's terms. Where do I go after HS? Is it a four year then Vet school, like med school? And, where is it best to go, an accredited school, or a community college? Money is tight, and I'll be going to college soon so, I need an action plan. Help!

A. Veterinarians must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. There are 28 colleges in 26 States that meet accreditation standards set by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

The prerequisites for admission to veterinary programs vary. Many programs do not require a bachelor's degree for entrance, but all require a significant number of credit hours�ranging from 45 to 90 semester hours�at the undergraduate level. However, most of the students admitted have completed an undergraduate program and earned a bachelor's degree. Applicants without a degree face a difficult task in gaining admittance.
