I wanted to be a veterinary assistant but never got the opportunity.

I did 3 weeks work experience as a 15 year old at a vets, that was brilliant.
I even got to help with the operations. In one a dog had swallowed a ball I had to
swab the stomach while it was stitched up. Then the vet started rummaging around
inside the dog showing me different bits like the spleen it was a strange
purple colour. It was awesome!

A friend who was with me fainted. lol


I had to sit with a dog on a drip to make sure it didn’t wonder off.
Plus wrap up a cat so it didn’t scratch the vets face off.
Catch a budge when it bit the vet and flew off.
Hold down a snake while it was wormed.
Help look after a gerbil with piles!

Plus much much more.

Absolutely loved every minute.
You had me until this:
"Help look after a gerbil with piles!"

Did you get anything interesting out of all your adventures.
The holocaust tour was particularly sobering. My buddy called ahead to Auschwitz and had them do a records search. They found 6 of his ancestors had been in the camp. One survived the camp, only to die when the allies fed them too much food too soon after liberating them. Very sobering, and makes you appreciate what you have.

There is just something wrong with worming a snake. A snake with worms? Really?

It is like if a human had an infection of little bitty primate parasites...

I use to want to eat a 24 karat gold donut. The idea of eating a special food seemed interesting. I just read though that it tastes like champagne so I don't think I'd like that much. The gold donut is made with an ube base — a sweet purple yam widely used in Filipino desserts like ice cream — and filled with an ube mousse and champagne jelly. It’s iced to extravagance with more champagne, gold dust and flavorless shiny gold flakes.

Too many new things to see and experience.... just one "wow" after another, until you get sort of numb to the wonder of it all. Much like we did in the British Museum. Seeing old Egyptian statues and things like that. You finally get to the point of saying, well, there's another lion statue... instead of actually looking at it, and marveling at the workmanship, and the amazing fact that something like that has lasted for a couple of thousand years.

an "overload" condition of your senses....
Thanks for the explanation :eek:

Yup, the vet crushed worm tablets into a liquid mixed with a little water.
Stuck a tube down the snakes throat, then used a plastic syringe (no needle
at the end) to inject the stuff into the tube.

Oh there was the cat as well with all this gunky dead skin on top
of its head. The vet just cut it off with scissors the cat didn’t feel a thing.
Then vet filled this hole with antibiotic thick cream and stuck a bandage on
and a plastic bucket type collar.

Okay now I have to ask: What happened to cause that for the poor cat? Did it get bitten by a brown fiddler spider or something?

I don’t know what happened to the cat,
most likely it was something that got infected.

This isn't something I've wanted to DO, but to have. And this thread reminded me of it, so I'm going to say it anyway :p A giant, life-sized Golden Retriever stuffie with wise, dark brown eyes. I don't like stuffies and and I don't like Golden Retrievers and I don't collect things that take up that much room and I have nowhere to put it. It is totally different from everything else I've ever wanted as an adult, and most people think I'm a bit crazy, and don't even think such things exist.

The fact is, it IS a real stuffed animal, not just one I met in a dream. I found it once in a secondhand store when I was a child, and I fell in love. It wasn't in great shape and it was pretty big for our overcrowded house, and we needed the seven dollars it cost to buy clothing and food, so I left it behind...with one last hug and a few of my childish tears whetting its coat. But somehow, I've never forgotten it, and if I found it again I would buy it at almost any price.
