Greetings budding vetlings! This is my first post in my ‘Getting into Vet School’ series.

As my site ‘Travels of a Baby-vet’ has been up and running for almost a year now!?! And 2017 has flown by spectacularly, I thought this would be a fitting time to write a year roundup! A cheeky Travels of a Baby-vet newsletter, if you will… University life continues….. Well, I guess I should begin….at…

On our final ‘day off’ while at HIS we found ourselves buzzing with excitement at the chance to finally meet the elephant doctors! Our day began the day dog catching (can’t beat a good 5AM start!) and at 7AM got the fellas to drop us off in the city centre to search for breakfast. We…
