VETERINARY BASICS: Things you should know before going into a clinic . . . | Vet School

[@gisellyetorres1677]

I'm a freshman in highschool. I just want to know more about veterinary medicine but thank you so much a lot of good information!

[@pattic7097]

I’m in eighth grade and I have the opportunity to do an internship over the summer and I am in the same boat as you I want to learn as much as possible before going into it

[@jesscliffee]

You're so welcome! Thanks so much!

[@lapris7380]

Same I got the opportunity to work with a vet and I’m going today and I’m a bit scared on sounding dumb so I want to at least know the basics

[@archiehallen5521]

I am also a freshman in high school,I’ve set my mind on veterinary medicine and came here because I can’t wait till I graduate to start learning

[@reesebrown5291]

same but im going into highschool after the summer

[@mariosola1]

Jess, soon to be Dr. Cliffe- I am a veterinary professor in the US and I just wanted to say how awesome these vlogs are. You're answering questions that I myself wanted to know the answers to before starting vet school also. Wish you all the best with your education and career!!!!

[@jesscliffee]

Thank you so much for your support!! :)

[@apexyl5135]

Out of curiosity, do you teach at a college? If so, which one?

[@peyton_morton]

I'm 13 and since I was 9 I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian. After coronavirus calms down in my area, I really wish to volunteer in my local animal shelters! I am so interested and passionate about helping animals and I specifically want to study farm animals. This video is great and really helpful!

[@chloeoshea9788]

Wait I’m literally the exact same except u want to do small animals, my auntie is a vet and she brings me in to help her I’m 13 too btw :)

[@haley6502]

ah i want to work with farm animals as well! especially cows :)

[@carlypetersen1838]

literally same!! I'm 12 and After the virus I'm gonna volunteer at animal shelters! I also want to be a vet but not with any certain animals!

[@clairethompson5549]

I’m in my thirties and just went back to school to be a Vet Assistant. I love how many of the comments are from young people who already know that veterinary medicine is where their hearts lie! I already know I’ll be watching your videos during my study breaks!

[@ElisabethReese]

I've been a veterinary receptionist in Ohio (USA) for a few years now and started watching these videos out of curiosity. I'm learning so much and already understand patient charts so much better than before. It's helping me to communicate with our doctors and clients more efficiently as well! Thank you!

[@jesscliffee]

Thank you so much for your support!!

[@jesscliffee]

Hey guys! Hope you enjoy/find this helpful! Let me know if anything in is this video is incorrect or different internationally, I'm a vet student too so just willing to learn like all of you are! Thanks so much for your patience with my uploads, been busy recently 😊 xx

[@naturalspanish1049]

Actually, the vertex, the point of your head that you pointed, is craneal, not dorsal.

[@jesscliffee]

@@naturalspanish1049 technically not! Because when you're describing the head you use rostral and caudal - instead of cranial! Because everything on the head is cranial!

[@naturalspanish1049]

@@jesscliffee @Jess Cliffe @Jess Cliffe I probably did not explain myself correctly. Technically everything in the head is cranial..and Is not at the same time. If we talk about an absolute term, the face Is not part of the cranium. If we talk about relative terms, my nose is cranial over my mouth ( Same way that both the nostrils and the eyes are rostral in a dog, but the nostrils are rostral over the eyes) That makes the point that you touched the most cranial part of your body ( that's why it's called the craneal vertex - or the general area the craneal boveda). Should have not said cranial though, because when taking about biped species we say superior over cranial ( so my nose would be situated superior over my mouth, but never dorsal to It). Sorry if my explanation sounds rude. I'm not trying to be mean at all. I'm doing the best I can with my english.

[@braconion]

Hey I really liked the video and thank you for your hardwork but if you dont mind me you said this is a language I dont understand in anatomy part its latin Im just curios you dont get latin with the anatomy lessons? all the techincal terms are in latin and most of them seem like english or very similar to english thats because they are originaly latin words used in english thank you and I hope you dont get me wrong

[@KomaedasOneTrueHope]

I'm a college student and have decided to major in veterinary medicine so I'm glad to learn this💗💗

[@nandinisharma9400]

This was a really good recap of things I forgot to take notes of during my placements! Could you do another one on basic surgery preparation procedures and anaesthesia?

[@jesscliffee]

Yeah I can do that when I learn it!! Haha look forward to it in the future :)

I’m 16 and a sophomore in high school and all of my life, I’ve wanted to become a veterinarian but lately I’ve been thinking about not being one. Thank you so much for this video, it really helped!!

[@freeloading_toad]

I’m considering becoming a vet tech and this video is really helpful. I don’t think I have the chops to be a true veterinarian because there is no way I could do surgery, but I’d still love to help treat animals. I used to help my cats give birth as a kid and it had a profound impact on me as a person

[@Alex-ru6bm]

I’m in 10th grade currently doing (Math Pure,Physics , Life sciences and IT) I wanted to become a vet since I was 4 in Grade R. I want to specialize in ophthalmology. Your channel has been so informative and interesting, thanks for doing what you do. I hope to follow in your footsteps in the future. love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

I'm in 6th grade and I love the vet carer, I hope I can make it into early college so my dream of being a vet can come to reality sooner. Thanks for the amazing tips! :) this will help me study more and have somethings clear.

[@merbrooks2222]

I have been a veterinary assistant for about 5 years, and this is a fantastic video. I just got a new job, and I was looking for a video that could give me a quick refresh on stuff, and this is exactly what I needed. You did a great job explaining the most used and important info a vet assistant would need and use in a clinic. Thanks again!

[@lizbethrodriguez1561]

I just wanna say I love this video! Most videos don’t include basic anatomy which is so important!! You will use it daily at a clinic and even in school.

[@puffpastrie]

just got a job as a vet tech straight from food industry, so I appreciate this video!

[@BoganValor223]

Hey Jess!! It's 4 months after what I had commented. Due to what you've taught me I have made it into the classes that I need to in order to put my vet dream one step further, I can't thank you enough you're a hero! I hope we could meet in the future or talk or something and I will be sure to comment every time that I have something to ask! Thanks again jess you're awesome!

Oh this is amazing, I am so glad to hear it. Thanks so much for your support

[@jesscliffee]

Glad it was helpful! What is your internship for??

[@michellemaat2198]

Yup, you definitely move to lateral saphenous on dogs if you blow the Cephalics. Actually it can be preferred to use these veins if a dog is head shy or has wounds on the forelimbs etc.. In cats we use the medial rather than lateral.

[@jesscliffee]

Thanks for letting me know! Since making this video I have actually now seen it in practice 😄

[@cydneetrujillo-martinez542]

At our clinic, we do saphenous draws whenever P is stressed out! Works very well. Highly recommend.

[@jesscliffee]

So interesting! Might have to do this myself :)

[@apexyl5135]

I'm a junior in highschool, and a friend of mine asked his mother if I could shadow at her vet clinic, I figured I should have a bit of knowledge. It didn't even occur to me that there'd be special terminology... But I've got some stuff to look over now. thank you so much!

[@highsunsets]

Im a senior in high school and just turned 18 on october 28th and ever since i was a kid i was so interested in being a veterinarian and i want to find the best research i can do get a head start before going to classes and i am so desperate for information i even took notes on this video to help get a start and i came across this video and it helped me and i will be watching more from you and many other videos to feed my brain with knowledge thank you so much for taking time to answer questions and sharing information

[@suri3568]

i’m only in 8th grade and have loved animals since i was little. I’ve been doing so much research to be a vet

[@eyalbrodsky1828]

This was actually so helpful in answering all the questions I was too embarrassed to ask my techs haha. I think a trick to remember VD vs DV is that whatever body part the X-rays hitting first goes first in the name.

@hi My high school actually had a Career Technical Education course for Vet Assisting. We have dogs on campus to practice hands on activities (no cats bc they're too unpredictable) and in my final year, we had a barn nearby that is willing to let us work with the horses there. Besides getting the certification in high school, the only other way I know to get it is to learn from a licensed vet and take an exam when you cover all the material. I'm really lucky my school had this program 😊

Wow thats so interesting! Medial not lateral? Never heard of it, thanks for the information!! :)

[@wintersage14]

@@jesscliffee it’s inner hind leg so I think medial! Not sure why in particular though. On a different note - is there any particular specialty you are drawn to? What do you see your career in vet med looking like (as of today) once you graduate?

[@jesscliffee]

Yes thats so cool, thanks for telling me about that technique :) Hmm, I definitely prefer small animal medicine at this point, however I do love some aspects of large animal medicine, but in terms of speciality I'm unsure - I'm enjoying both surgery and pathology at this point so either of those could be a route I go down. But right now I'm just going with the flow, and hoping to start off in a mixed animal practice. I also love the idea of exotic/conservation medicine (wildlife, zoos, interesting pets e.t.c), which could be something I explore in the future :)
