• Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex (BRDC): Also know as "Shipping Fever", BRDC is a general term for the pneumonia commonly seen in recently weaned calves. 

• PI3 (Parainfluenza Type 3): This common, mild respiratory disease suppresses the animal's immune system, allowing other diseases to develop. The virus is shed in nasal and eye secretions, and infects non-vaccinated animals through the mouth and nasal passages.

• BRSV (Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus): A sometimes fatal, stress-related infection which can cause mild to severe respiratory disease and reduce the animal's resistance to other diseases. Signs include coughing, high fever, and runny eyes and nose.

• IBR (Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis): Also known as "Rednose", this highly contagious virus causes respiratory disease, abortions and infertility. Signs include inflamed nasal passages, fever, rapid breathing, deep cough and loss of appetite.

• Trichomoniasis: "Trich" is a highly contagious venereal disease resulting in early embryonic death. The infection include a high percentage of open cows at pregnancy check and/or a prolonged calving period.

1. Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen: 

The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens' name tells you a lot about this breed: they're from the Vendéen region of France; they're small; they're short and close to the earth (as are many scenthounds); and they have rough or wiry coats. What that translation doesn't tell you is that the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen — called PBGVs by breed lovers — just might be the happiest dog on earth.

Originally from France, this medium-sized and medium-energy breed can grow to between 25-40 pounds and lives an average of 14-16 years. The breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club and classified as a member of the Hound group.

2. Shows.

-Dr Jeff: I choose this show beacuse he's committed to providing low-cost animal care to all, which means he puts the welfare of the pets well before profit. What's lost in income is made up for in the sheer volume of animals he treats and the selfless satisfaction in knowing that he has improved lives and the quality of veterinary care. And that's why they should see it, so they can see the work that a vet does.

-Wild Times: I choose because the Irwins take us inside the Australia Zoo to continue Steve’s mission (his dad) to protect the world’s wildlife. From crocodiles to red pandas, Bindi, Robert and Terri tell us everything we need to know about these wonderful wild animals we love and taht's why they should see it.

-Meet the orangutans: I choose because we meet the orphaned and injured orangutans that receive care at the world's oldest orangutan sanctuary in Borneo, the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Watch as they learn everything their mothers would have taught them in the wild. And they should see it, so they can see the work that is done to rehabilitate the orangutans and so they can return to their natural habitat.

Why do you want to be a Vet?

Ever since I was a little, my dream was to be a veterinarian, I always had that idea of ​​help animals, that they could feel better, even a little. 

And I kept that idea for several years until in 2017 and 2018 I completely changed because at school I decided to study gastronomy for those two years and decided to continue with that career after I left school. But when working in the summer in a cake shop, my decision changed again, since I did not like it at all and I said: this is definitely not my thing. So, I went back to my initial decision, to study veterinary medicine. I decided to study vet because literally I do not see myself doing anything else and it's the only option I had.

So far, my experience has been very good, I loved the friends I have made so far, that has cost me a bit with the tests, but little by little i must recover. The atmosphere of the university is very pleasant, and I am very happy to be here.

In the future I would like to work with exotic animals or wild animals, as I have always seen Animal Planet and Nat Geo Wild, and it has always attracted my attention.
