Did you know

The best things I learn in vet school are not going to be on any tests in the near future
Some examples:
  • You can make a horse hold its breath by holding its nose
  • If you squeeze your fingers along the sides of a dog's spine, the cutaneous muscles will twitch (their skin moves)
  • Vultures are the only social raptors
  • Birds have little bones in their eyes
  • If you want to hear a cat breathe but they are purring, you just turn on the water in the exam room
  • Rats can do agility
  • There are such things as pigs with flourescent noses
This has been a vet school update, brought to you by ten extra minutes in the morning and not wanting to start a new subject!
