For the first day i stayed at my uncle's place and after that i took the lrt from bukit jalil and then bus to the vet :) the hospital is near leisure mall btw ppl =)
owh this pic kinda lost in this post lol.. actually this cat.... Matt should remember this cat..... We saw it during august hols when we went for some maths class..... and we saw this cat getting bullied darn sad la wei even Matt felt for the cat... MATT we're talking here haha.... so anyway a bigger cat will always bully it and darn sad coz the next day we came back and saw it bullied again despite it being surrendered... and boy the cat's neck was bleeding :'( my heart was crying inside haih......... Matt wanted to step on the bully cat's tail lol hero hero... XP... another day i saw it again this time with Timothy Kuek haha as he went MacD.. and i bought nugget for it :) hehe din eat much some more hehe notty notty kitty..... and juz two or three months back i saw it near AC car park there got steps near the bird cage... it looked frozen cold 0.O with it's mouth bubbling and it's neck still hurt... a tear trickled down my cheek.... OMG the cat i sayang 0.O cannot be dead haih..... I was bothered... but weeks later OMG i saw it :) alive and quickly bought babi for it to eat hehe :) so there above u see it eating happily :) and I was happy too :) hope that someone will take care of it this year :( take care kitty....anyway to the vet story :P i think i blabbered too much bout kitty ady hehe.... The working hours for vets are insane 0.O like sometimes 12 hours a day or minimum is 8 i think and 6 days a week 0.O like omg omg omg and their starting pay 2k =.= years of studying = 5.... and the course mayb even tougher than medicine 0.o but it's fun la :) the work ehe though undeniably exhausting
this is BEbe :) a shih tzu with cornea ulcer... very hyperactive baby this one is (: extremely excited non stop.... i think she only have one eye left though.... but that din stop this little one from having fun as i saw her trying to gnaw the ball but the ball couldn't stay still for her to bite and she tried to put her paw to stop it from moving but cannot la... the white collar thingy obstruct her movement hehe... was so amusing :)
and this rottweiler had mega wound.... this one very kuai din bark at me... the rest arrrrrrrr noisy bark bark at me =.= ... owh i saw lotsa cats with FLUID pasted on their cage above... the doctor writes his name and the patient's name and illness on a paper and stick it above the cage... so i was thinking flu coz the cat had a watery nose.. apparently it's feline lower urinary intra smth lol... i think 0.O haha memory kabur ady... 
owh this doggy :( had nerve problems... and the body posture was stucked to being seen as above... but this dog darn feisty.. wanted to bite the kennel boy when they poke the drip into her.... sad see her :( she looked so helpless haih.. God help her...
kitties lol din really bond with them was more buzy with the doggies :) i actually can't do much hehe coz the kennel boys were actually doin all the jobs and when the vets speak to the patients i can't understand =.= the curse of not knowing cantonese... however they were all patient in answering my questions though and i am deeply thankful for them (=
pom pom :) a dog i fell in love with in the hospital hehe.... he had erm liver insentif... some liver problem but the vet wasn't actually sure wat was truly wrong with the liver so they dripped him and put him on observation....i loved him he's so adorable... he's a pomeranian btw.... the first few days when he was here he was so sick he din eat :( i tried makin him eat but he wouldn't.. when i took off for few days coz grandma was here i was so worried that when i got back he wouldn't be there but he was :) although i pity the owner >.< coz the fees are killer wei..
pom pom dripped hehe.. after a few days when i got back he was eating a bit :) and was very spoilt too (: keep wanting ppl to sayang him hehe... when i opened his cage he will stand and climb on my shoulder :)
the cages ( i rather call them rooms actually) in the ground floor... normally the serious cases are left here for the vets to monitor...... and they get lots of sayang from me hehe.... owh some dogs are very noisy though =.= like seriously very non stop barking.... so Wati, one of the indonesian i think girl worker got so annoyed and paste the yellow colour plastic bag to keep them quite and blur inside hehe.... 
owh the brown dog there :) her name is coffee and she has pyometra (puss in the womb) she was there for more than a week 0.O a very friendly dog :)... her neighbour on the right is Pangi not in the pic he had root abscess :( meaning his bottom fang was overgrown and it pooked through his face yikes!!! when i saw him my heart pain :( serene bleeding love...
this is the third floor and here most of the dogs in the lock up room are boarding dogs so their generally healthy yays :) ... This shih tzu is a patient though got skin disease so they had to shave him bald hehe so cute :) reminds me of my own baby after the haircut i give him :D
one of the boarding dogs after bath and grooming so cute! 
owh this is before OHE hehe of the miniature dachshound.... a young lady this one is :) the most left pic u can see she was still awake but very pening coz the anasthetic they gave her wasn't enuf so she keep turning her head from left to right.. right to left non stop... hehe poor baby... OHE is neutering btw....
during the opt... operating theatre is in second floor as is the lab.... there are also a lot a lot of doggy rooms too
ovary >.< ...overall i watched like 5 OHE's i think... on one day too bad i was late coz Dr.Ben was doin a OHE cum ceasarian on a cat... i manage to help a lill in reviving the kitten though :) they are all so kind to let me watch :) and juz by watching oso i got tired ady... the second day of work i watched Dr.Lim do 3 OHE straight =.= see oso i tired ady and he was like no arr not tired with a smile.... inside i wonder how on earth they have such stamina.......
owh Dr.Lim can be said to be like my fav doctor hehe i tagged along with him most of the time coz he's very patient and soft heh.... and he was the one who adviced me to go to a law firm first b4 i decide whether i want to do veterinary as the working is juz darn tough..... he's from perak btw :)
owh this shih tzu was a stray.... had a MEGA WOUND as u can see......... i feel so so sad for it and tried to pet it while i can..... hehe i bought treats to let it try :) coz i though stray normally won't have much to eat outside hehe but then after buy I told the assistant vet Evelyn who was placed in charge of me that i wanted to feed it but was told am not allowed to give treats to those on medication =.= so bought healthy snacks for the doggies and boy all of the doggies loved it :)owh once one of the kennel boy invited me to put the cream on the his wound but i was scared to put some more near the eye... i couldn't do it... i was so scared i'd hurt it....... cause him pain :( and there was the starting point of learning i was not tough enuf to be a vet :'(
initially i was thinking wat if the person who brought this shih tzu to the vet never turn up again 0.O the hospital will rugi... but Dr.Lim taught me that the person had to pay a deposit of RM500 -.- b4 he can leave the shih tzu... I was like HARH!! then extra return back to owner? he say no no sure more than 500 one 0.O
ps.. the shih tzu did go home with his new owner :D
this lill boy use to be a stray and had skin disease....he is very fierce hehe barking non stop when he came in threatening to bite... they were like warning that this baby may bite and so on but when i looked at him :) i couldn't help but love him so i juz went in and first stand afar... and he looked at me with his innocent round eyes :) i moved closer bend and sayang him :) ala he is a demure angel la :) look he even pose for me to take a picture of him :D .....
at the lrt station b4 my last day :) with my uniform (: they lent me this overall top hehe to use so that the bacteria's won't stick on my own shirt... This was Dr.Teh's old uniform that he used when he was a trainee in the hospital hehe.. Dr.Teh the hawt vet haha..... he arrr truly passionate to be a vet la it was always his first choice despite the hard life of a vet.... and he's hot 0.O haha stylo some more know how to pierce ear haha
the stairs that they workers and me :) use to get from one floor to another faster....
the kennel boys they're very kinda la.... they teach me patiently and never expected me to do anything or help....
Dr.Chee... another seriously passionate vet who told me that indeed he enjoys his work very very much :) and is truly contented.... serene was full of admiration as he don't earn much stay in Bangi some more have to feed 5mouths some more.... he has 3 children btw... and he is super super soft softer than sabrina wei 0.o
Dr.Lim :) juz taken a blood sample to send to the lab eheh
Evelyn :) the dear lady who was in charge of me and was so nice to me :) she explained meticulously bout everything :) and repeatedly reminded me over and over not to juz put my hand into the cage and straight away pet the dogs as i always did that =.= hehe cannot resist. although i was wary some of them are quite fierce.
owh this great dane was at the basement.. i followed Dr.Lim down when he brought a rottweiler down to board.... the basement are where dogs who's owners have abandoned are kept... the hospital do not kill them yay :D and instead keep them as blood donors :) like this big baby... however........ these dogs :( will never see light againhaih... and lack a lot of love eventhough the kennel boys try their best to make time to pet them.... they're too buzy at times... they work harder than the vets and earn less 0.O poor doggies... and a lot of them are magnificently humongous.... heh big biggy doggies....
overall the vets allowed me to join them for x-rays, scanning, operations and so much more ;) indeed they were truly truly so kind to me a great thanks to Dr. Chee, Lim, Teh and Ben for allowing me to tagged along eventhough it's actually quite annoying as the clinic is super buzy. Thank u kennel boys :) who are so sweet and patient too and Evelyn for touring me and allowing me to go everywhere i wanna go whenever i wanna go :) and to Dr.John the owner of the hospital despite me never meeting him yet hehe he was at a conference in Thailand then... animal conference how cool hehe
Anyway the reality i learned is that the payment to treat one's pet is not cheap :( a lot of them have to stay overnight and the cost per night ranges from RM40-RM80 for basic treatements or illness like parvovirus.... Some like a dog name Lucky who had vomiting under Dr.Ben stayed for like juz 4 days and his bill was a massive RM 500+ 0.O scanning was Rm90 and blood test Rm70 or 90, x-ray RM90 ......... pom pom fees was sure to be sky high as would be coffee and the rest..... some owners were rich so yeah watever la small matter for them.... but for some 0.O it's not cheap and i saw it in the eyes of some parents who was torn between not spending so much on a dog who's not even guaranteed to survive through treatment and the love for their children who cared so much for the dog...
haih i dunno how to do it :( To charge such exorbitant fees which are actually really needed to run the hospital..... the price of medication of such and all are not cheap....... + with the long working hours 0.o the first two days itself i went in the afternoon and got so tired i skipped dinner........ the next morning breakfast i ate but skipped lunch... i was just too too too exhausted to even eat.... i knew i couldn't do it... haih and i have a slight fear for reptiles so yeah :(

the fees of veterinary is also too high so in the end I decided to do law and commerce and buy vet medical books to read on my own... so that i can go and help the animals in SPCA on a regular basis in the future......... coz the whole idea is to help the animals :) and i will i promise... and hey edwin..... u who is goin to pursue vet :) i can see u really are made to be one :) u have such great passion and commitment that i lack and i really wish u all the best with all my heart :) go be their doctor :D weeeee
tribute to troy this kitten who died :( (dr.lim's patient) we all knew even I knew there was not much hope for little troy when he came in .....
another tribute to this puppy who had distemper... he had the end stage of distemper ady with symptoms of seizures coming every half hour or so... (Dr.Teh patient) Dr.Teh was cursing a lot when the puppy had seizures.... full of deep concern for the little baby... serene was deeply touched...anyway vet has been awesome and i truly hope to go there again I thank the lord for giving me the opportunity to observe the life of a vet..... this post heh :) since not many ppl know wat goes on in a animal hospital, this is meant to enlighten u all a lill on behind scenes in Segar Veterinary Hospital........... cheers to animal health and rights... cheers to a bright future for animals........
