Some Possible Questions • Do you have the right to not treat an animal? • What is the starting salary for a vet? • If we called your best friend and asked him/her to name your 3 greatest strengths and weaknesses, what would he/she say? • What you would you do if you accidentally injected an animal that was likely to die anyway with euthanasia solution instead of painkiller and killed the animal?  Would you tell the truth to the owner?  The set up is you are working overnight in a hospital alone with a lot of sick animals and you are rushing • Why do you want to be a vet instead of, i.e., be a dentist or a doctor, or run a horse boarding facility?
