Then this is the right job for you! Your love towards the animals will help them as you diagnose and treat their illness.
Flexible in your working hours
Emergencies happen at unpredictable times. It won’t be surprising that your phone is ringing in the middle of the night with a patient crying for your help because something is wrong with their furry companions.

Animal Science
You will need to possess at least a degree in Animal Science, Marine Biology or degrees of similar field in order to be a Veterinarian. You can further your studies if you wish to be a specialist in a particular field. Admission to Veterinary school is competitive. The number of accredited Veterinary universities has remained the same in Malaysia, but the number of applicants has risen significantly.

“Personally, I have always felt that the best doctor in the world is the Veterinarian. He can't ask his patients what is the matter...he's just got to know.”
