The reason why i want to be a vet

When i was a child i wanted to be a singer, because I love music; An astronaut, because i love know curiosities about the planets, the stars, galaxies or every kind of space objects; Even I want to be an painter or sculptress, i always was in love with art, and still today, I don’t give up to be recognized for my draws, paintings and sculptures. I of course I love the animals since I was very young so one of my favorites options was to be a veterinarian. But with time, all these options appear unlikely. I started to think of what was more possible and what will complete me.

If I want to be a singer I will deal with a pressure of a big public and I am very shy in that kind of occasions, so no, thanks. I am terrible on physics and that don’t combines with be an astronaut.

But I always loved chemistry and biology, and like the contact with some people, like the owners of dogs that a meet when I take a walk with my dog. I like to hear they, the problems with their animals, the conduct with another thing and whatever that the owner say about the animal, I stay very interested. With that signals I started to think that the profile of a vet is very close of my personality.

Each day I am more shore that I chose right, I am enjoying a lot the university, mainly the company of the animals, of all kind. Because of that i am not shore of what speciality i will take.

A)About Cows:

1. What are the  5 most common pathologies of cows? Mention them and give a little description too.

1. Bovine Ulcerative Mammillitis (Bovine Herpesvirus II)
Bovine herpesvirus II causes an acute, ulcerative condition of teat and udder skin of dairy cows that is often referred to as bovine ulcerative mammillitis.

Bovine Warts (Bovine Papillomavirus)

Several strains of bovine papillomavirus (BPV1, BPV5, BPV6, BPV9) cause the development of papillomas or fibropapillomas on teats.

Teat-End Hyperkeratosis

The development of raised smooth or rough rings at the teat ends of lactating cows is a common occurrence. Teat ends that are affected with hyperkeratosis may progress from smooth, doughnut-shaped lesions that do not affect milking to severely hyperkeratotic rings with radial cracks. 

Dermatitis

Dermatitis of the udder has a number of causes including chemical irritants, sunburn, and bacterial infection. Exposure to chemical irritants can occur from bedding additives (eg, some types of limestone) or chemicals used during milking. 

Udder Sores

Moist, foul-smelling, necrotic lesions may be observed in areas of tightly adjacent skin of some animals. In heifers, the lateral aspect of the udder and medial aspect of the thigh are often involved.

 Horses

I like this website because it talk about many interesting things about horses like: Training, horse care, book and good magazines, horse breed and also show funny and cute horse’s videos. I like to read about the anatomy and about the behavior of the horses.

My country's dream

New Zealand

It`s a country that i really want to visit or live. The first time i thought about go to this countrys it was for the amazing scenery and the ecological conservation. In New Zealand was filmed one of my favorites films, Lord of the rings, and i will enjoy a lot to see the places that they use, even without all the special effects. 

I really love quite places and i saw many documentaries about foreigns that says that this country is very calm. Another thing that i would like to know and try are the extreme sports, mainly with a beatiful scene around.

Draw is one of my passions and they have so many amazing animals that i could draw in their protected habitat.

The people there are very respectful and the cities are very organized.

I want to improve my english, and find a job as an veterinarian to live there, it's my dream since a have twelve.

The city that i am interested for now it's Auckland, it's the biggest metropolitan area.

New Zealand is the first country i would like to know when i have the possibility to travel.
