Default small pet practice

I thoroughly agree - in the UK at least, Emma will hopefully be able to back this up, vets receive training in small animal practice as standard during their initial degree but can specialise in it further in later years of working/training/CPD. I have a good friend whom is studying to be a rodentologist and another has recently completed her veterinary training from Glasgow Vet School and is now specialising at a small animal practice in exotics (which includes hamsters). I do not evny veterinary students, or graduates, the amount of information they must absorb and apply. I have heard it is harder to get into than medicine???
