Hi, there in IL, GP Slave - I'm happy to report that the little guy recovered uneventfully from his URI. It is so gratifying when they do get over something and I'm glad I know so much more now about treating various conditions/illnesses. In the "bad old days," if my pig fell ill and wouldn't eat, it was curtains for sure!
Inky did suddenly have one of his front teeth break off, for no reason that I know of (posted about that yesterday) but thanks to GL I'm confident that since he's eating normally he'll be fine. When I was a kid I dropped our pig, breaking off BOTH his front teeth (nice going, but I WAS only 8) and the vet said he'd die... he lived another 3 1/2 years.
Thanks for asking!

I like chemistry... but I wish they required more math for vets. I'm taking calculus for fun, it's not a required class. I finished all the math in high school and they expect me to just take college algebra and trig again.
I don't start prevet until end of September though, and only got one actual prevet class because the teachers just seemed so boring for all the beginning ones that I figured I would absolutely love general ed far more than agriculture classes.

Yes, that is true.She said that those reports recommend culling because they need the animals to be healthy so that they can perform more experiments on them.
I think I now understand what she meant. The way laboratories would treat a disease would be perhaps much different from how pet owners would want the disease treated in their beloved pets.
Oooooh, Pigglies, you are sick and twisted... if you actually like Chemistry and God forbid, Calculus! Horrors!
There is no way on Earth I was ever gonna pass Calculus and it WAS a prevet requirement, at least at Cornell. Another itty-bitty roadblock on my path to vet school...
On the other hand, I adored my Ag classes (except for those requiring the use of math, e.g. Ag Economics). Dairy Science, Livestock Judging, Meat Science, Agronomy - bring 'em on, boy, those were fun! With those in my pocket, I also went to the Journalism school at Ohio State and emerged with an Ag Communications degree (I wish they'd called it "Ag Journalism" instead of making it sound like we learned how to talk to cows).
I'm just teasing you, good luck in your studies and more power to ya if you can ace those tough classes!
Chary: Sorry about this off-topic stuff. Believe me, I take your animals' illness very seriously and hope you receive the funding you're trying to get... I can only imagine the cost of surgeries you might be facing. I also hope some of this research people have found/are digging up will be useful. Inky and I are keeping all paws crossed for a positive outcome.

Well, the prevet school doesn't require taking Calculus, but I want to go to UC Davis and I thought maybe they would want you to take it later anyway. Besides, it's fun.
Now, talking to cows (just kidding)... maybe I just don't like the idea of dairy management and beef management because I'm vegan. You don't have to kill anything though, right? That's the slaughter major right? If so... maybe I should major in chemistry or math LOL.
It's the English classes that I can't do... I need the Idiots Guide to Grammar or something. Yikes... and not only will I have English soon, I will also have... *cringe* public speaking! Ahh! If I have to give a speech I am just going to tremble briefly and then fall over, flat on my face.

Pigglies, I'll trade you English and speech for math any day.
Well, I LOVED chemistry in high school. I even went into AP Chem. But when I got to college.. *shivers*
Give Pigglies a few years and she'll be in the I-Hate-Chem club too. Organic is just not that fun. :(
But I'll agree with the calculus thing. Calc isnt too bad. It may not be a pre-req for vet school, but it sure is a pre=req for the chem and physic classses. Either way, you have to take them. Just Calc I and II for me. Anything beyond Calc II makes big swirlies over my head.
