Can a vet treat a mix of exotic, large and small animals? I'm interesting in becoming a vet, but I'm not sure what types of animals I could treat. I'm interested in small animals like dogs and cats, and large animals like horses, cows, sheep, etc. But I'm also into exotic animals; and not just exotic pets like ferrets and snakes, but the more zoo-related animals like big cats and stuff. Can a vet at least combine treating large and small animals? And is it possible to also treat the exotic animals, maybe by making "house" calls to a conservation center?

How do Havenese dogs get along with other small animals like cats and rabbits? I am considering the Havanese breed, but I have a large cat and foster bunnies waiting for adoption. Cat and bunnies are indoor-only, and the bunnies are allowed free running time in the house. I am hoping to find an adult Havanese through a rescue group, but want to be sure the breed is very likely to be tolerant of or oblivious to the bunnies, especially because it will not be growing up with the bunnies. (The cat can hold his own.) Does this breed generally do well with small animals? Thanks!
Is there such a thing as an automatic feeder for small animals? I'm thinking of buying a hamster, but as I live alone I'm concerned about feeding times. Sometimes I spend 24 hours and occassionally more away from home. I'm sure I've seen a product for feeding cats, but is there something you can purchase for small animals? I realise it isn't advisable to leave animals alone for long periods of time, but would be interested to know whether there is an option out there for me. I'm open to all helpful ideas. Thank you!
Are people willing to take their small animals to the vet? I was just wondering... many people don't take their smaller pets like hamsters or rabbits to the vet because they say "they are not that expensive and the vet fee is 20 times the actual animal".

I am willing to but sometimes my mom doesn't want to pay the money so we just go for annual check-ups. I know all life is equal and this may make me sound like a bad person but I really do love my pets and try my best to keep them healthy and happy.

One additional question: are juveniles of other animal species so fascinated with animal species other than their own?

Do you remember the small ceramic animals that predicted rain? Does anyone remember the small ceramic animals that predicted weather changes by changing color. I had one as a child, a lamb that would turn blue or pink, etc. depending on what the weather was going to be. If so, do you know where I can find one? In response to The Potter Boy...I checked more and the animals were coated with a mercury based paint which caused it to change color...I'm thinking...like a barometer would change, but I would still like to know if there is any way to get another one.

Any advise on how to remove small animals from hard to reach areas? Fluffy barked, just as I stepped out of my bedroom door lastnight... startled and not realizing the baby oil had dripped down the hallway (I had been hot-waxing my **** earlier) I violently afrighted. As my dishes went flying through the air Fluffy barked again and then he took off running. As I was going over the banister rails of my loft to the tune of "Fluffy and breaking dishes" I suddenly thought to myself... this is gonna be nasty... I weigh 600lbs.... Lucky thing for me poor Fluffy broke my fall... Any advise on how to remove small animals from hard to reach areas?
What cartoon movie has small animals that go on an adventure and they build a flying machine at one point? The movie is about 10-20 years old probably and these animals are always supposed to stay away from the feared road, but they cross it at one point in the movie and one of the animals falls behind and nearly gets hit as the car drives over him. The movie starts out with them at this big tree that I think the older teacher like animal guy lives and he has schematics for the flying machine that they build later in the movie to fly home.
