After the young vet has received his degree, he finds that it will take about $2,500 to set up a rural practice, $10,000 in the city, and at least $20,000 to build and equip an animal hospital.

Fifteen years ago, a vet would have tried almost anything before operating to clear an obstructed intestine because of the danger of infection. But antibiotics have made animal surgery almost routine. The Number 1 danger to pets is distemper, which combines the worst features of polio and influenza. Even if the disease doesn't kill, it often cripples a pet. Fortunately, there are vaccines which can protect dogs and cats against distemper. Although dogs and cats don't get polio, they are susceptible to many diseases quite similar to those attacking humans. Vets say city dogs seem more prone to arthritis, heart disease, and liver, bronchial, and ear infections than their country cousins perhaps much like their masters! And more than any other animal, dogs seem susceptible to cancer, especially as they grow older. Dogs age about seven years for each human year, although their first year is equal to 20 of ours.

The disease is always fatal if it gains control of an animal or a human. That's why it's important to have your pet vaccinated every year. Vets are working toward a vaccine for humans, but if you are bitten by a rabid animal the only thing available now series of injections. And rabies is a is not spread by dogs alone any warmblooded animal can be infected. Vaccines exist for many animal diseases, and veterinarians are qualified to give them. Often they are confronted with a deathly sick animal, suffering primarily from an owner's healing efforts with home remedies. Worming is the most common offense. One veterinarian tells of an owner who brought in a dying dog which had eaten spoiled food, or so the owner said. A little careful questioning revealed that the owner thought the pup lacked pep, so he'd fed the animal worm pills daily for two weeks. 14-d- ay ill-advi- sed actually bought some $4 million worth of cough medicine, in- halants, eye washes, sedatives, skin ointments, and worm pills for their pets last year. But for major medication, remember the vet has expert advice and many drugs on hand, and if he doesn't have the exact medicine needed, he'll know where to get it as quickly as possible. Veterinarians have come a long way since an early practitioner wrote down a few treatment hints on a clay tablet in ancient Babylon around 2200 B.C. Through the years, vets have done much to protect and improve the health of our pets and, indirectly, to safeguard our own health. And they've accomplished this against odds, too none of their patients can tell them where it hurts!
