Today, I started my dream job of being a veterinarian. My first day consisted of having to put down 12 dogs and 5 cats. FML

It's sad I know, but if they were sick or hurt you're still helping them. You have a great job OP, be proud.

I once wanted to be a vet, but the thought of having to put down so many animals turned me away. I realized I made a good decision as even reading this FML makes me cry.

That's why I decide to change majors

That sucks, but you gotta remember, it's an occupational hazard.

What did you expect? This seems to be a theme with vets on FML. Do you not know that's a part of the job and as a new vet it's likely going to be you responsibility. YDI, and you should have been prepared for it.

#109, 17 euthanasias in one day? That's hellish for anyone, no matter how "prepared." And probably why the senior vets gave the new guy the duty, rather than spoiling their days.

No one is ever prepared for putting down an animal no matter how many times you've done it! What the hell is wrong with you no one deserves somethin like that and it's helping the animal anyway it's rids them of their pain

Im so sorry, I dont know how messed up that would be.

Thats so sad. I love animals, especially cats. I would have been a wreck.

If you have to kill that many maybe you should review your training
