Is "Go see a dentist" a proper response to a dental question?

Q. If someone asks a veterinary question, you'll always get some answerer who says "Go see a vet".

And if someone asks a dental question, you'll always get some answerer who says "Go see a dentist".

Do these people who answer in that way actually think the questioner never thought of that?

A. It is if somebody has a cavity, or their gums are bleeding, or they have an abscess. When it comes to your health, you really shouldn't mess around.

What college classes are necessary to get into a Veterinary School of Medicine?
Q. Also, what would be better a degree in biology or a degree in chemistry? And if there is anyone who has actually been to veterinary school, could you answer this question? Are the gross anatomy classes really awful to get through?

A. I suggest you find a vet school you might want to go to and contact them and ask them what they are looking for. That might help you plan better:-)


Can A Little Person Be A Veterinary Assistant or A Veterinary Technician?
Q. Can a little person (like someone who is like 4 feet) be a veterinary assistant or veterinary technician? What if they can't lift the animals and/or put them on the exam table? Would any animal hospital or animal clinic hire a little person to work as a veterinary assistant or a veterinary technician? Can someone please answer these questions for me? All answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Also, Can someone give me some information about a veterinary receptionist? What exactly do they do? What is the hourly, monthly, and yearly salary for a veterinary receptionist? Thanks again!

A. I honestly don't see why not -- height is something that can be worked around. If you cannot lift the dog up onto the table yourself (often my larger dogs are looked at on the floor so we don't have to mess with it anyway) there is likely someone in the clinic that can help you do that. Taller doesn't always equal stronger; anyone could have trouble lifting up a dog.

Veterinary receptionist's hours would depend on the clinic and what is needed for the position and what the person wants to work -- salary would depend most likely on hours worked. If there's an opening, the best bet is to just call and ask about the position. My guess is that the salary will be minimum wage.

As for duties, they're most likely typical receptionist duties: answering phones, filing paperwork, greeting clients, ringing up the bill, etc.
