Veterinarian
Your morning begins at 7 AM on an emergency — a dairy farmer's cow with a prolapsed uterus requires immediate manual replacement under sedation at their farm. Back at the government veterinary hospital, your OPD includes vaccinating a puppy, treating a goat for foot-and-mouth disease lesions, performing a reproductive examination on a mare, and attending to a parrot with suspected aspergillosis before an afternoon cattle camp coordinating Brucellosis vaccination for 200 animals.
