As hard an experience as this was Ben, if you plan to be a vet you are going to have worse ones and have to learn to seperate yourself to some degree from it. You'll see animals brought in far too late and you're expected to perform miracles (and not charge "too much") or animals brought in to be put down simply because their owners no longer want the hassle of them. Being a vet's a tough job I would think but a rewarding one. This experience will likely help you down the road if you see it as a learning one.
