Os animais são tudo de bom. Verdadeiramente eles preenchem nossas vivências com um toque de sabedoria inexplicável e cuidar deles exigem amor, carinho e paciência, além do dom de conseguir entendê-los sem ouvir nenhuma palavra. 🐈🐕🐄🐖🐏🐎🐒🦄🐓🦉 #medicinaveterinaria #medicinaporamor #dicasdevet #medvet #simonecury #vetstudent (em São Carlos Do Pinhal, Sao Paulo, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnecbO4LSq_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2017, the Year I Nearly Gave Up but Didn’t

I have always wanted to start a blog about my life, but never really got round into doing it. I blame my “all-or-nothing” attitude. No doubt, this mindset has gotten me places in life, but at other times I find myself fighting an internal battle with my own thoughts. So, here I am, a newly graduated veterinarian, at the age of 25, using Tumblr for the very first time. Obviously, life as a vet student got too busy for me to even process my own thoughts and feelings, let alone starting a blog. Although, perhaps I was “semi-avoiding” those thoughts, as I know, for a fact, that if I do indeed allow myself to dwel into the unknown, I might deterioriate. Besides the overwhelming amount of content that gets taught to us every single day, there was also a seemingly continuous pilling of random assignments, mini exams throughout the semester, dealing with friendships, minimal sleep, etc, and not to mention the pressure to actually perform well. I, unfortunately, gathered the habit of setting unrealistic expectations on myself. Obviously, my mental health was sacrificed, ignored even, that, unfortunately, affected my performace, relationships between family and peers, and also my own self-confidence. Don’t get me wrong, though; vet school is an extremely rewarding degree. On the good days, you get to see the smile on your clients’ faces, the wag of a puppy’s tail with paws too big for their size, purring kitties, the re-visiting old cat with hyperthyroidism that has been improving and still as sweet as ever, and not to mention the lovely teaching staff members and life-long friends that you make along the way.

Thought I’d share my journey on how I got accepted into the degree; because veterinary science is something many would love to do, but, if you were anything like me, had this belief that this dream of mine was close to impossible.....since I was never naturally smart, and was FAR from being an A+ student. But I am here to tell you today that any dream is possible, you just need to be willing to put in the hard work and grind.

I completed high school in Christchurch, New Zealand in the year of 2015. As a student, I always had an interest in science and animals; and so veterinary science had always been at the back of my mind ever since. The only problem was, that I never believed in myself. Regardless, I applied for the pre-veterinary programme at Massey University New Zealand, and basically “half-arsed” my way through the first semester. To no surprise, I was not accepted into the degree. I remember contacting the undergraduate staff to seek advice for re-application; and was told, that I was required to get at least ALL A’s for ALL papers for 4 more semesters. That was my wake-up call; that there was really nothing else I’d rather do with my life, so if I really wanted this, I had to put in the work. I remember my father sitting out by the deck at my old house in Christchurch, and me opening the window from my room, saying...

“Hey dad, um, just so you know, there is a very likely chance that you will not see me for the next 2 whole years, as I will be too busy burying my face in books.”

That was when the grind started; I enrolled myself in other science-related papers such as Biochemistry, Genetics and Conservation. I was studying non-stop, round-the-clock; only making an appearance at meal times. Exam periods were extremely stressful; there was a time when I only had a day to revise a semester’s worth of a Genetics paper...and I was sitting on the floor of the dining room at 2am, bawling and feeling absolutely hopeless (embarrassing, I know, but to my surprise I did well for that paper, lol). I remember setting up unrealistic rules for myself, and my typical day went like this:

4:00 am : Wake up

4:30 am: Begin study

and pretty much having my head in my books all the way until 10pm.

Little things would trigger me; such as when I went 2 minutes overtime on a topic, or if my lunch order was late since I had to rush back to study. Not fun.

2017; the year I finally got my grades up with a GPA competitive enough for vet school. I re-applied for vet in 2017 with a GPA of 8 out of a 9 point scale, with my latest semester grades of straight 4 A+’s. I remember the day that they released the selection outcomes; and the agonising wait that came with it. I was playing a movie on my laptop while spamming the “re-fresh” button on Yahoo! Mail. Results came 2 hours later than the expected time; and without opening the email, I peeked at the first sentence that popped up in the preview;

“Kia ora Weiyin,”

What? Why didn’t it start with a “Congratulations!”?

I clicked open the email and to my utmost dissapointment, I was rejected. The heartache and dismay that came after was nothing like I’ve ever experienced. I gave absolutely everything, continously for 2 whole years, and was still rejected. I cried my heart out.

As I am writing this, I just asked my beloved grandmother how many tears I cried when I got rejected, and she just answered me with “enough to make my heart break.”

Why was I rejected? Because the school had implemented a new selection system; instead of the GPA comprising 80% of the overall ranking, it was lowered to just 50%, and the other 50% comprised of non-academic skills i.e. multiple-mini interviews (MMIs), situational judgement tests (SJTs), etc. This implied that not only I had to continue keeping my GPA up, but also to ace the non-academic part of the selection process.

I felt hopeless at the time, and thought that, maybe, it was just not meant to be.

Or maybe, just maybe, if I just gave one last try.

And so I enrolled myself into “Toastmasters”, a public speaking club. There I learned to be comfortable speaking in front of an audience, practice active listening, and form creative ways to craft out a speech. It was such an experience, and it was amazing how easily you can turn nervousness into excitement when giving a speech. Every day, I would practice all kinds of scenarios that were likely to be tested in the MMI. I continued to do these until impromptu speeches felt almost natural to me.

Year 2018 finally came. I remember it being about 4:00 am in the morning, on the 7th of July 2018, when I checked my email. That was the moment I received my acceptance letter. Of course, my family were all waiting anxiously for my results...

“Hey ma, pa, looks like I’ll be graduating soon...” At the time, I was almost done with completing my Biochemistry degree. They responded with a very saddened “Ohh...”.

Then I continued, “in 5 years time” ;)

Happy #RhinoFriday Update on Kwayera by @savingthesurvivors “Remember the baby orphan we rescued when he was found wandering the bush alone? Our Veterinary Assistant Dot spent a week stabilising him before Dr. Johan took him in the helicopter to The Rhino Orphanage where he is going from strength to strength! Kwayera is doing very well. He has been joined up with an older orphan "Kraaitjie" a very sweet little girl. You can see how small he is at about 9 months old, but Kraaitjie is 14 months old and is having a very good influence on him. He is trying his best to eat dry food with Kraaitjie. His carers have taken out his 3am milk feed and he is now moving onto the normal milk schedule with 5 feeds per day instead of every 3 hours. He is also starting to drink more fresh water from the trough. Thank you to everyone who supports STS to make our work possible, without your support babies like Kwayera would not have the second chance at life. Your donations make this possible! Please donate if you can, monthly or even a one off gift to help us save the survivors and create hope from hurt. https://www.savingthesurvivors.org/donate/ @craghoppers @therhinoorphanage #Rhino #savetherhino #savingthesurvivors #animallivesmatter #antipoaching #NotOnOurWatch #wildography #veterinarian #wildlife #wildlifevet #rhinoconservation #southafrica #poaching #rhinohorn #rhinovet #rhinosofinstagram #worldrhinoday #wildlifephotography #wildlifetourism #safari #vets #veterinarymedicine #vetstudent #veterinarian #thanksgiving (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYvcansVs4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Please, pretty please, help me pass pathology. What are your top tips for veterinary pathology (if you want a more specific thing to focus on, cattle and sheep path but also accepting broad tips to help me pass my goddamn exams)? ❤️❤️❤️

Studying pathology can definitely seem overwhelming at times (trust me, I'm still overwhelmed at times too!). I've written a few posts before about how to study for pathology, but unfortunately the hellsite is currently hiding them from me. However, the common thread in all my recommendations is this:

Everything in pathology is a process. Find the pattern, and it will all come together.

But Lizzie, you say, what the hell does that mean?

Any disease that you need to learn about will have common points that you need to know. Different people will teach these in different ways, so sometimes you can't see this thread, but it's always there. At vet school, I would go through the notes I had for each condition I needed to know about (usually grouped by organ system and species affected) and note down these key points:

1. Aetiology: what causes this problem? 2. Source: how and where does the animal get the problem (for infectious causes, what is the route of transmission? Is it genetic? If it's nutritional, what are they eating?) 3: Process: how do we get from aetiology and source to the lesions and clinical signs? This part can and should be a flow chart (e.g: canine parvovirus infects crypt epithelium > necrosis > loss of villus epithelial coverage > fluid loss, hemorrhage, secondary infections > diarrhoea, sepsis). Add as much detail as you can or as much as your professor provides. 4: Clinical signs: why is the animal presenting? What signs are pathognomonic or particularly specific (those make good clues in exam questions). Include whether this you'll see sporadic disease or outbreaks, key signalment points. 5: Gross lesions: what will you see on physical exam and at necropsy? Look for specific changes as above 6: Clinical pathology: bloodwork, urinalysis, FNA etc. 7: Histologic lesions: what will you see under the microscope or what will the pathologist's report say? You may or may not be required to know this at vet school, check what your professor wants. 8: Outcome: do animals survive this disease? Can they survive this disease?

Those 8 points should cover just about everything you need to know about any given condition. You can tweak the structure as suits you, but I found that when I structured my notes like that I had all the answers to my exam questions, and having a consistent flow through my notes helped it all stick in my brain because I wasn't searching for things while studying and I didn't have to jump around. There is, unfortunately, a lot of memorization in pathology, so I recommend making use of whatever memory aids help (flashcards etc.). Find this info, plug it into the system you like, and don't lose hope.

Good luck!

This holidays I’ve spent the most wonderful 2 weeks on an internship in zoo. I was put in the “terrarium” department where I was taking care of all kinds of reptiles and amphibians. It was truly my dream come true, the best experience in my veterinary adventure so far.

I’ve been thinking for a long time that I would like to specialise in exotic animals in my future career and this experience made me sure in that decision.

I got hands on experience on caring for various species of turtles and tortoises, (the one you see me petting in the picture is Galapagos tortoise, the largest living tortoise species) I was administering medicine to the little spiny tailed lizard- Uromastyx acanthinura you can see me holding in the second picture, the little guy has some skin problems and needed ointment to be put on the affected areas. I also got to hold snakes for the first time in my life and was amazed how quick to run away they are😅
