I switched to the veterinary program at the beginning
February 19, 2026by: Catriona StewartGetting to be so hands on with the animals as I switched to the veterinary program at the beginning. Being a vet was always a dream of mine, so to be able to help the animals in that way was amazing. Working with so many baby sloths in particular will always be a special memory as those animals are so amazing.
