ORLANDO, Fla. — More than 60 middle schoolers got a course in animal healthcare on Tuesday with some real veterinarians.
The students were suited up in scrubs at the world’s largest veterinarian conference.
Veterinarians gave them hands-on experience in sewing wounds, performing CPR, and even listening to an actual dog’s heartbeat.
It was held at the Hyatt Regency on International Drive in Orlando.
