Ailsa told us all about the skills and qualities she needed to become a vet. She explained that in order to be a vet,\u00a0 you must have a kind and \u00a0caring personality and love animals! Which was great to hear for all our little animal lovers!\ud83d\ude3b<\/p>\n
She brought with her some of her special vet equipment; stethoscope, thermometer etc. and explained how vets use them to help animals to feel better. Then, it was over to us to become vets, Ailsa brought with her some X-Rays from some attention needing animals and we had to work out what was wrong with the animals and why they needed help from the vet. We saw the X-Ray of a poorly pup who had swallowed a stone, some broken paws and a pregnant dog too!\ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc31<\/p>\n
A huge thank you to Ailsa from Academy Vets for taking the time to visit Primary 1-4. We absolutely loved hearing all about her job and the work she does to look after our furry friends! \ud83d\udc2e\ud83d\udc36\ud83d\udc31\ud83d\udc39\ud83d\udc30<\/p>\n
