Most patientsare thankful for the carethey get from their doctors, but when it comes to animals it’s a different story. Every vet knows that animals are much more likely to turn round and biterather than thank them. Steve Divers is an experienced vet and has been bitten by countless cats and dogs. With more dangerous animals, though, he takes special care. For example, with poisonous snakes, he keeps them in a cloth bag and uses the metal instrument to keep the head down and the teeth away from the hands. “ If I didn’t know how to handle some animals, I would probably have permanent scarsby now,” Steve says. Although it takes many years of study to become a vet, it is a very rewarding and well-paid career. “All animals in need must be treated. I would never ignorea sick animal, even if it was dangerous enough to kill me,” says Steve.
