Truth About Working In Veterinary Medicine | Veterinary Vlog#7

[@ms.sallyann8596]

I really appreciate you pointing out that math and science are important. I found that most of my classmates in tech school realized this far too late. Vet med is not just a love of animals but also physiology, pharmacology, people and many other things.

[@marikiemarie7622]

Math is not the problem...its allegra...that's useless

[@vtwannabe974]

PEOPLE by far lol

[@ashleynichole6631]

I really enjoy your videos. I came across them because I have no idea what to do with my life and I'm starting to consider veterinary work. Love your personality and you're very very wise. Xoxo

[@briseidyandrade7909]

Ashley Bukata literally same

[@morgananstey5790]

Victoria, I absolutely LOVE these videos! I've been working in the vet field for almost 3 years and trying to figure out how to pay for school to get my license. You show the nitty gritty of vet medicine and I LOVE it!!! You obviously love your job and work hard at it. You're going to go so far!

[@JassyWassySquared]

I'll tell you, I can not wait to have the honor of wearing these scrubs. I know for certain that this is where I want to be. I have to make it here.

[@nataliestardust4996]

I’m in my first year of my vet nursing degree and I’m so happy I found your channel! Vet nursing is definitely NOT as easy as everybody thinks so thank you for using your platform to educate others about it! ❤️

[@butterflybaby603]

I love your blog by the way your eyelashes look beautiful. you are so right I work with adults with disabilities sometimes it's harder to work with their loved ones then it is to work with them. I had no idea that dogs can have seizures until my dog was diagnosed a year ago. you guys do amazing work thank God for veterinarians and the nurses and staff that assist them.♡

[@TheBirchFamily]

awwww thank you so much!

[@SashMuffin]

as a child i wanted to be a vet, i really wanted to be able to care for the animals around me, i thought thats i wasnt smart enough, now that its been a decade im starting to believe i was on the right path instead im going to try nursing, i want to thankyou alot for your videos, they are helping me understand what i will be getting into and what the industry is really all about.

[@pokemon9oct]

I loved hearing your story on how you got into nursing, as it sounds almost exactly like mine! I was hired as a Kennel Assistant just two days after I turned 17, and I am now doing a Vet Care Assistant course and I'm hoping to go onto Nursing in the new few years. Which is very exciting!!!

[@TheBirchFamily]

Thank you so much so watching! That is soooo exciting! You are going to love it!

[@vickaliciousful]

As someone who is working at a vet clinic right now, there are just some moments that I have to pause your video and go 'YES! EXACTLY RIGHT!!'. Especially at 9:40

[@denisebohorquez132]

ive been in the field for 5 years and recently accepted an offer for a position in the emergency/icu department of a big hospital. i am so nervous but so so excited as i am extremely passionate about what i do! wish me luck.. i love watching your videos!

[@alessiawest3214]

I am a bit late but good luck! 💛

[@Aishintil]

I felt that it was really honest and I learned a lot to be vet nurse too, as soon as possible (i'm vet student from indonesia) and this gave me some great inspiration to compile my next step🤓👌 thank you for this, Victoria! xoxo

[@trinitymock2191]

Your videos are informative and I hope you keep making more like these. It's really giving me an insight so thank you so much.❤️❤️❤️

[@haleyboller9463]

New sub here! I am so excited I found your channel. I have begun my schooling for Veterinary Assistant in hopes to prepare myself so I can take the vet technician course! I have experience in Personal Support Work (PSW) and nursing.....so i have a strong stomach and and love making client relationships :) This was an awesome video!!!

[@samanthabeall975]

Girl you nailed it! I have worked in veterinary medicine 10 years

[@megsimerly2968]

I've always wanted to be a vet and today really showed me how far my passion goes. Today has been so heart breaking for my family. My cousins puppy has been very sick for a few days now and today my aunt rushed her to the vet because she got worse. They took her back for treatment but stopped when they heard she couldn't pay that very day. She told them she would have the money and pay it all Friday of next week but they refused because they wanted it now. My aunt 47 years old was bawling in the waiting room and begging them to help but they still refused. They told her and I quote "Take her to the Humane Society because they will put her down for free." My aunt then called more vet offices but they call refused as well. Unfortunately the poor baby died shortly after because she had Parvo and needed treatment fast but was not given any. My heart hurts so much that a place that was supposed to help animals cared more about money than one very sick baby 💔

[@Emily-jp1jx]

Megan Simerly shame on that clinic. People need to stop caring about the money and start thinking about how they can save a life!

[@kuchmatt807]

Animal hospitals are businesses and pet owners are financially responsible for their pets. It's sad, but true. You might want to look up the suicide rate of veterinarians, the profit margins of animals hospitals, the debt veterinarians leave vet school with, the income vets/vet staff make (they aren't wealthy), and the issues faced by veterinarians from their clients (guilt tripping, blackmail, bribing, assault, cyber bullying, etc) before complaining like this. I'm a veterinarian. It's not wrong to charge for services, it's literally how all businesses function. During this pandemic, veterinarians have been overworked and booked solid all throughout the USA.

[@Landlord_Tipper]

I start my job as a kennel assistant this week. I really have no idea what to expect.

[@nicholefischer]

Oh my gosh- what a cool job, but I dont think I could handle seeing sick kitties and doggies and giving bad news. You are a pet hero, girl! Loved seeing this! Thanks so much for the love on my channel. I just subbed :)

[@TheBirchFamily]

Nichole Fischer awwww thank you!

[@jessicaneonlovee]

I just found your channel! I started my career journey by volunteering for my senior project for highschool in October (: I applied for a position in February and I got hired in march! :) I'm so grateful for this job and i love how I feel like I'm not working! :)

[@TheBirchFamily]

Oh my gosh!!! Congrats!!! Thank you so much for watching :)

What did you major in while at university? I love your videos!

[@amihaley5977]

Would u know how I can find any books that I can read to prepare me for Vet School, and also any vet offices that I can go to get the training in Oklahoma? I have tried checking into at least 3 vets offices, and the last 2 didn't call me back, and 1 out of 3 was so rude.

[@shariemae1998]

im currently studying veterinary medicine. Same as you i also have no idea what's gonna happen in that course but i really love pets. Im currently 1st year in college wish me luck. :D

[@sarahholt8505]

[@dragonfireartstudios8051]

Sarah Haas or maybe a hermaphrodite? 😂

[@kelseyhill186]

I'm an 11th grader and I've taken vet tach at my school. Would it be better to go to a 2 year college or a 4 year one?

[@kitty33332]

I LOVE MUMFORD & SONS. girl too bad you live so far away, we're so much alike !!!

[@taeyoong9718]

I am very nervous because I need to have another entrance exam to get there plus the will be a interview session which I am very nervous about. Any words of encouragement and advices :( thanksss I would love to be your friend.

[@dianahd5203]

Hi Victoria. Is a veterinarian nurse the same as an associate nurse? 🙂

[@gialira3445]

You look like the girl from Gossip Girl Blair

[@CarySkelton]

OH MY GOSH, YES!!!

[@Hasan-Zuhair]

The reason i want to work in a vet or atleast learn about it because obviously i love animals second when i was at my school a cat was sleeping on the street (yup thats dumb) and a car was reversing and with out seeing the cat the driver crushed the cats leg and i couldn't do anything except watching it was horrible i wanted to take the cat but it had fungus(i have 2 cats and i dont want them to have fungus) and it was bleeding as well fortunately somebody came and rescued it and the end.

[@gabriellewilkinson1673]

I love you your my role model ! 😘

[@lizzacres8007]

Do you know how to get to work with birds?

[@rachelsilva2310]

[@kitarasultan6664]

I dreamed of being a vet and I love your videos I have a baby puppy named Zuzu and i love her more then anything and I love your videos and does your dog and cat get along

[@nayshaness]

How many scrubs should a student have ?

[@leaht4925]

I have two kittens asleep on my lap right now but I’m too hot because of them and I’m not comfy but I don’t want to get them off 😂

[@sherlinnasher33]

[@zipporahmeredith6791]

Is it the same for a veterinarian assistant

[@safsren]

what type of math? arithmetic level or calculus level?

[@HeyItsLisaaa]

whats a kill assistant o.0

[@yeetyyeet4044]

What types of math is involved?

[@rhestiantir336]

I love your vlogss

[@DianaHernandez-ij7yh]

“So HE can have HIS OVARIES removed” lol

[@TheBirchFamily]

Girl, I know.... I'm so bad about calling everything a him... my clients correct me all the time.

[@flickeringdancefactorykhat9957]

I also studying about animals I had to be veteran

[@KekesAcrylicCreations]

Can you work at a clinic and help the doc.? Im trying to get in and do you have to go to school to work at a clinic?

[@ms.sallyann8596]

Keana Ash I started out volunteering at a shelter. They always need help. I also think this is a good way to figure out if vet med is a good choice for you before investing time and money on education. Tech school is not cheap or easy.

[@KekesAcrylicCreations]

Okay thank you. I think im going to check it out

[@calebgeesu5477]

I'm going to become a vet when I'm older

[@safiy98]

I only like my patients owners. Other humans I’m not sure about.

[@Companionvets-256]

nyc videoes

[@freshpinpop]

"take his ovaries out" what kind of dogs do you work with? lmao

[@TheBirchFamily]

freshpinpop I have a bad habit of calling everything a “he”. Clients correct me all the time...

[@haileyturner8219]

Are you a normal vet or a exotic?

[@alessiawest3214]

[@isabellachambers7184]

Victoria Birch I emailed you

[@heyitsclay4756]

"or HIS ovaries taken out" 🤔🤔

[@kotsosm]

Being a vet tech steals ur soul. Trust me kids, find another career.

[@lordjim24]

You love your job because you're a girl who works in a female-dominated profession. 80% of vet med classes are now women. The field is growing more feminized. I shadowed at a vet hospital, and I was the only male in the building. One of the main reasons I decided not to go into vet med. More women go to college and graduate now. Women are encouraged and coddled and given awards every step of the way. Hell, I wish our society started giving a damn about males again.

[@CJCheese]

Coming from a town that has pre-dominantly male vets, with the exclusion of my clinic-- your argument is invalid. Society has "given a damn about men" for hundreds of years and women were overlooked up until the 1920's, so take your misogynist comments elsewhere instead of bullying a female who is half your age, behind a computer screen. Sorry that you weren't successful in your veterinary endeavors, but don't go attack others because they actually made it in this profession and you didn't, Andrew. Also I fear for any woman that crosses paths with you in life, because you are going to be awfully lonely with that elementary and archaic mindset. Quit hiding behind a computer screen and get a hobby, dude.

[@lordjim24]

CJ, I don't hide behind a computer screen. I could accuse you of doing the same thing with your nasty comments. Nor am I a misogynist by any stretch. I am pointing out a fact. Veterinary medicine is now a predominantly female field, and there is little encouragement for more men in the field. Simply because your town happens to be an exception to the general trend doesn't make my observations invalid. Women have come a long way over the past century, which is wonderful, but I think I am still allowed to have my concerns as a male. In a way, there has been an over-correction in society in favor of women in veterinary medicine and other areas. Girls are now given more incentives and encouragement in STEM in general. I don't need to tell you that. Maybe the vet field will balance itself out. I hope it will. It is a field that can profit from both men and women.

[@jjester159]

Speaking as a woman that has been in veterinary medicine for over a decade I have seen the progression of the field becoming more equally representated by both sexes. I have loved my job even when I worked with primarily men because I don't do this job for my coworkers. I do this for the patients.
