Otis had to go to the vet like three times in one month for freak things. I already posted about those, but my questions are....

......how much less (or more?) schooling do they have to go through than an MD....like do they really attend medical school?
My bf and I got into a discussion about DVMs, and how they have much harder work than a regular MD because animals can't tell you what's wrong with them, plus DVMs have to study for all sorts of different animals, not just humans.

Plus, everytime I went, the bill was $250, $400, $95. Do DVMs make as much money as, say, a pediatrician?

What an interesting profession.
