Last month I went to stay with my cousin Ken, who is a vet. I've always been interested in animals.
I wanted to have a week's work experience with a vet, so it seemed a good idea. My cousin Ken is
friendly and easygoing, so I stayed with him, too. We had a lot of laughs.
In their practice, they do a lot of "small-animal" work. In other words, they look after people's pets,
and don't work much with farm animals. Even so, it was very interesting. During the week I helped as
much as I could. I cleaned out the animals' cages and boxes, as some of them are kept in the building
for a night or a couple of days. I also fed them. I looked after the owners when they arrived with their
pets, and made cups of tea and coffee for the two vets and the assistant. I watched all the operations
that were done and asked lots of questions.
On my last day, I helped in an operation on a cat, which had a bad leg. Sometimes a vet needs
another pair of hands. The cat lived, by the way!
I wasn't sure what a vet's job would be like, and I found it was very interesting. I learnt that a vet
needs a lot of scientific knowledge. Science isn't my best subject, therefore I feel that it is not a job for
me. Even so, I'm still pleased with the work experience that I had. It's a great help while you're trying
to make up your mind.
