Veterinary medicine is truly a colorful world. They cater to cats and dogs every day, even the occasional snakes and reptiles. But beyond the cuteness is the challenging daily grind of every veterinarian. Joining Richard Marn, MD is award-winning veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward to share a glimpse of his life treating all kinds of animals on a daily basis. He explains how his farming background and a horrifying childhood memory with his dogs pushed him to pursue his current profession. Dr. Ernie explains how this jolly and hopeful environment can sometimes become emotionally taxing at times, especially when dealing with terminally ill pets and administering euthanasia.
