Let's go find out how things 64 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 5: are going with the vet and the sick pig. 65 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 6: Where are the pigs in the barn? 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 5: Let's head over. 67 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 4: That's his truck. 68 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 5: The license plate says Vet Lazarus. 69 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 6: The pigs are so cute. Look at their piggly wiggily tails. 70 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 5: Pig show emotions just like dogs. They're very smart, and 71 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 5: those tails wag when you pet them or feed them. 72 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 5: Basically when they're excited. Let's give them the strawberries. Ready, one, two, three. 73 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: They're as happy as a pig in mud, except they're 74 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: not mud right now. 75 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 5: Their mud puddle is outside, and it's important for pigs 76 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 5: to wallow in mud really, yes, sir, It acts like 77 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 5: a sun block. Mud also helps them get rid of 78 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 5: parasites like lice and ticks. 79 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: Oh, just like chickens, they cover themselves in dust from 80 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: the ground exactly. 81 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 5: Plus, rolling around in the mud is a fun way 82 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 5: to socialize. And even though they love the mud, pigs 83 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 5: are actually clean and tidy creatures. 84 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: These pigs sure don't look sick to me. 85 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 5: The farmer is keeping the sick pig apart from the others. 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 5: Some illnesses can spread quickly, just like a cold or 87 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 5: flu can spread in your family. For a farmer, that 88 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 5: can be big trouble. Let's go to the other pen 89 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 5: and that will find the vet there. 90 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 6: There he is the biggest lying on her side. 91 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 5: He's probably giving her antibiotics for an infection. Hopefully that 92 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 5: will fix her up. Are you ready to meet a 93 00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 5: real veterinarian. Yeah, hi there, doctor Lazarus. I'm with Lingo 94 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,799 Speaker 5: kids and we want to find out what it takes 95 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 5: to be a veterinarian. Can we ask some questions? 96 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead. 97 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 7: Great. 98 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 5: To start with, can you tell us three things that 99 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 5: all veterinarians need. 100 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 7: Hmm, okay, well, I think the most obvious one is 101 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 7: veterinarians have to love animals, so you're going to be 102 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 7: working with them every single day, and you have to 103 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 7: love even the ones that don't love you, ones that 104 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 7: want to maybe bite you or scared of you. You 105 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 7: have to love all of them the same. You also 106 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 7: have to be very good with people, because when you 107 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 7: go to treat an animal, you also have to talk 108 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 7: to the person that owns the animal. 109 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 4: The final thing is. 110 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 7: You have to be okay with dealing with gross things 111 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 7: like blood and pooh and doing surgery because you get 112 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 7: to all of that as well, and there's a lot 113 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 7: of pooh and animal everything, so all those kind of 114 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 7: smuddy things. 115 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 4: You have to be okay with dealing with that as well. 116 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 5: Really interesting, Doctor Lazarus. We also receive some excellent questions 117 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 5: from our Lingo Kids listeners. 118 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 6: Doctor Lazarus, what is the strangest animal you've helped? 119 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 7: A few years ago, I went to Africa to a 120 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 7: game reserve and I got to deal with all sorts 121 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 7: of animals there, so lions, giraffes, rhinos, ostriches, all these 122 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 7: wild animals that. 123 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 4: You see on TV. That was really really amazing. 124 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 7: And that's something that you get to do once you 125 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 7: go to FET school as well. You can go do 126 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 7: work experience in Africa. 127 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 6: And what's the weirdest thing you've had to treat? 128 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 7: I think every day you'll find something weird to treat 129 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 7: if you're a vet. But one of them that I 130 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 7: see fairly often, and it's something I just don't understand, 131 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 7: is that some dogs like to eat their own poop 132 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 7: and the owners come in and they say, I don't 133 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 7: know what to do. Every time he poohs, he tries 134 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 7: to eat it, and I think that's disgusting, that's gross. Yeah, 135 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 7: I would say that's the weirdest and most gross thing 136 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 7: that we have to treat sometimes. 137 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 6: Doctor Lazarus. 138 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: My dad says they shouldn't run after dogs in the park, 139 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: even though they seem friendly. 140 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 7: Why shouldn't I because sometimes dogs can be afraid of kids, 141 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 7: and if kids don't know, then the dogs can try 142 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 7: and bite them. So we always have to make sure 143 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 7: we know what we're doing before we pet a dog. 144 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 7: One of the most important things is if you see 145 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 7: someone walking their dog, maybe ask them, hello, can I 146 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 7: pet your dog? Is he friendly? One of the other 147 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 7: things you can look out for is the way that 148 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 7: they're looking at you. Are their ears nice and normally upright, 149 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 7: or are their ears low or back, and that can 150 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 7: mean maybe that they're a bit scared of you. Sometimes 151 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 7: they might lift their lips and they go h like 152 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 7: this to show their teeth, and that means that they're 153 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 7: trying to be aggressive, but they're not going to necessarily 154 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 7: fit you. 155 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: But they're saying, don't come near me. 156 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 7: I'm afraid if you do come near me, maybe I 157 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 7: will bite. 158 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: How old were you when you decided you wanted to 159 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: be a vet. 160 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 7: I was about six years old when I wanted to 161 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 7: become a vet, and that's because my parents allowed me 162 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 7: to have lots and lots of pets and my favorite 163 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 7: thing is looking after them. 164 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 6: And you still had to go in a vat with them. 165 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 7: Obviously, we had to go to the vet a lot 166 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 7: with them for their vaccinations every single year, for their 167 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 7: parasite treatments, for any time that they were sick. So 168 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 7: I asked my vet, I said, I want to be 169 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 7: like you. Can I come and do some work experience 170 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 7: with you? And he was like yes, of course. He 171 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 7: was very excited to have me there and it was great. 172 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 7: I spent you know, every day just seeing what he 173 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 7: gets to do and all the different animals that he 174 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 7: could treat. And I also spent some time on a 175 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 7: farm where they have cows for milk, so that was 176 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 7: really fun. And I got to go and see how 177 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 7: they how they get the milk from the cows and 178 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 7: then how it goes into the factory that ends up 179 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 7: in our supermarket, and that was really interesting. 180 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 6: What do you like best about being a vet? 181 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 7: What I love the most is that every single day 182 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 7: you don't know what's going to come through the doors 183 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 7: and what to expect, just because you could be treating 184 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 7: anything from a six week old puppy to a fifteen 185 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 7: year old cat, to a coppertoo or maybe a big steak, 186 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 7: and all these different animals have different problems and it's 187 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 7: like a big puzzle. 188 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 4: You don't know how to start away to begin. 189 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 7: But then when you do treat the animal and you 190 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 7: make them feel better, that's the best feeling in the world. 191 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 6: When our cat Lord has passed away, I was very 192 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 6: very sad for a very long time. Are you sad 193 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 6: when you let go of a pet in your clinic? 194 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 7: It's always sad when you have to what the way 195 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 7: we call it as we put an animal to sleep. 196 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: But what we. 197 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 7: Always have to remember is the reason why we're doing that. 198 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 7: And many times animals will be in pain, so there'll 199 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 7: be something that makes them unwell, and when we do 200 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 7: put them to sleep, that means we're taking away the 201 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 7: pain and we're taking away any suffering. And when you 202 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 7: think of it that way, it does make you feel 203 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 7: better about what you're doing and you're actually doing something good. 204 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 7: And although we're going to miss our pets and we're 205 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 7: going to miss having them every single day in our life, 206 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 7: we know that we made the right decision for them 207 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 7: to make their life better. 208 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 6: Thank you, doctor Lazarus. Makes me feel a little better. 209 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Is there a big difference between being a pet doctor 210 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: or a doctor for people? 211 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 7: Some things are the same, But with an animal, they 212 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 7: won't tell you what's wrong or where it hurts. So 213 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 7: whereas if I hurt my elbow, I would go to 214 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 7: my doctor and say, doctor, my elbow is sore, and 215 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 7: he would look at my elbow and say, let's take 216 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 7: an X ray, whereas with a dog or a cat, 217 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 7: they're not going to say anything, but they will start 218 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 7: showing some different signs. So you have to be very 219 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 7: good at observing a very good at watching the animal 220 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 7: and then think, hmm, that's funny. The cat's now doing this, 221 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 7: so maybe it's something to do with its stomach, or 222 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 7: maybe it's something to do if it's poor. So you 223 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 7: become very good at observing things and putting pieces of 224 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 7: a puzzle together. 225 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 4: But when it comes down to. 226 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 7: Illnesses and treating diseases and surgeries, they can be quite similar. 227 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 5: Wow, thanks for sharing with us, doctor Lazarus. What can 228 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 5: kids do now while there's still growing up to become 229 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 5: in that. 230 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 7: So I would say ask your parents if you can 231 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 7: have a pet, because that will allow you to learn 232 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 7: about animals and learn about the responsibility to look after animals, 233 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 7: which is very important because you have to be the 234 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 7: one to feed them and if they're sick, you have 235 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 7: to be the one to take them to the vet. 236 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 4: So having pets really helps. 237 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 7: But also when you go to school and you start 238 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 7: learning science, because if you have a good understanding a 239 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 7: good knowledge of science, then that can. 240 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: Help you as a vet when you're older. And I 241 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 4: would also say when. 242 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 7: You take your pets to the vet, maybe ask your 243 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 7: mom if you can do a day, you know, working 244 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 7: at the vets, if you can go and watch some 245 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 7: surgeries or watch how they look after the animals, and 246 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 7: that can help you see if that's what you really 247 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 7: want to do. 248 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 5: After today, I think I might want a pet pig. 249 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 5: We hope you've enjoyed this episode of the Growing Up Podcast. 250 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 5: Even if you never plan to be a veterinarian, you 251 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 5: can still discover the joys of loving and caring for 252 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 5: a living creature, even if it's just a little lizard. 253 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 5: Tune in next time when we meet a real dairy farmer. 254 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 6: And to live a full interactive learning adventure, check out 255 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 6: our Lingo Kids Up with tons of games and activities 256 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 6: for endless fun. 257 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: It's so fun to learn what you can be growing up, 258 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: growing up, So come and join us. 259 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 3: Come everyone, so we can learn while having lots of fun. 260 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: Because it's so fun to learn what you can be.
