Dr. Stansbery was a huge hit with the students today as they discovered what it takes to be a veterinarian! 🐾 Everyone got to pick out their livestock of choice, walk through a real examination and diagnosis, and then sign off with their professional assessment for the “client.” The hands-on experience made learning fun and memorable—thanks, Dr. Stansbery, for inspiring future vets!
