  • In this video I discuss my path towards becoming an exotic animal veterinarian. The road to becoming an exotic vet is hard and requires many years of experience, but it's definitely one worth pursuing. There are many aspects of veterinary school that will determine acceptance into exotic animal residencies such as grades, research, clinical skills, leadership, and connections, which I'll explain my thoughts on. I will also discuss what I've done to prepare myself for the different kinds of residency programs.

      Not sure what your age is but 4-H can help give you experiences with many different types of animals if you are still school age. My daughter was told that gaining experience with rabbits and horses is a great way to start out. The pet rabbit project is very informative. I know you were asking her, but we have had the same questions come up. 👍
