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:-)

A. Hi there... your question is difficult to answer because there are many world renown veterinary hospitals that specialize in particular species. One example is that Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine is the leader for feline, canine and equine best medical care, but not necessarily in other animals. However, there are other institutions that are equally as good or even better for each particular/specific species.
Veterinary salary also varies greatly for each country therefore it would be difficult to be specific as to who makes the highest salary worldwide. USA salaries range from $45,000/year up to as high as $85,000/year.
As for the most expensive veterinary practice this is relative to the region people reside. Those individuals who live in metropolitan regions will pay more than those who reside in rural regions or less densely populations respectively.

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.

What does it take to be a veterinary technician? What should I major in?
Q. I want to be a veterinary technician, and I also want a 4 year degree. I'm confused on what I'd have to do and what the process is to become one. I'm planning to go to a college that offers a bachelors in biomedical sciences. Can I use that to become a veterinary technician along with training as a vet assistant outside of school? Like interning or something? And will I still need a certificate? Ahh, what all do I need?! I'm confused!
A. In most states you are required to have an Associates degree specifically in veterinary technology in order to sit for the licensing/credentialing exams and work as a veterinary technician. A very small number will allow you to sit for the exams with a Bachelors degree in a closely related field, but it is a state-by-state thing so you need to contact the licensing/credentialing board in your state to get an answer to this question that is going to be relevant to you.
Generally though, you must have a degree in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited veteirnary technnology college program. These are typically 2-3 year programs but there are just under 20 bachelors degree programs offered in the US. Typically you earn your degree (which will include an internship in a veterinary facility), apply to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam, apply for credentials through the licensing/credentialing group in your state and take the state board exam if your state requires one. Once you have met the requirements of your state you are then credentialed for typically 1 year but in some states you don't have to renew your credentials for 2-3 years. Again, the details vary from state to state so you need to contact the credentialing agency for the state you are in to get an answer that is appropriate for you.
If you don't know who credentials veterinary technicians in your state, contact your state veterinary technician association or veterinary medical licensing board.
