Hi, I'm Olivia, and I'm 13. I'm very interested in becoming a vet, and I really believe that I can. I've asked around for some work experience at all of my local vets, but because I'm under 18, in order for me to be able to be there as anything other than a client, then the whole of the staff would need to be CRB checked, which they do not have the time or the money to do, apparently (there is also the insurance etc.) Anyway, in a few months, my 2 year old Labrador is going to be spayed (we where planning on breeding from her, but she has had recent health issues). I was just wondering if it was worth asking if I could stay in surgery and watch. I know it's a lot to ask, particularly at my age but it's something I really really want to do, and would gain a lot from. So does anyone have any experience about the subject?
