Thanks guys!

[machoburgers]

the music makes the video look like just a play. Like the ''doctor'' is just having fun ''operating'' haha but the dog is actually dead already

[machoburgers]

@animalluver521 by the way, I cant watch it either

[machoburgers]

@animalluver521 yeah.. but try again,and finish the video. and try to watch 5 more similar videos. and when u did it, then youre ready . :D

@animalluver521 well I'd hate to discourage you but it would only get worse by actually being in the OR...the smell, and everything else; if all this gore bothers you then maybe surgery isn't for you...but there's always other aspects to medicine that doesn't involve invasive treatments like this. Good luck! :)

I really want to be a veterinarian. I've loved animals forever and am planning on becoming a vet. I couldn't handle watching that video. I had to stop about 2 minutes in. Will I have a tough time becoming a veterinarian?
