Vet's Rock

Veterinary in Cinemas🌝🎥

For some, being a vet was a means to make a living. For Theo, helping animals was a photo of his soul, the coat of his will.     

Steven James Taylor

Veterinary is one of the fascinating field attracting a large number of people. As many of them are not aware of the working style and culture of the veterinary. So, there are some people who are able to diverge the eyes towards the veterinary profession by explaining what does veterinary means or what they do. As most of the people are attracted to web series for passing their time in this COVID 19 lockdown situation why shouldn't we go for some productive web series? These web series and films teach many concepts of veterinary sciences, as well to the students and also to those who love veterinary but don't have a vet degree without any restrictions for watching these movies and web series. Patal Lok one of the indigenous web series is based on a character who loves a dog and gives a different plot to the whole web series. With the tremendous help of my batchmate Dr. Atul Pratap Singh I am able to complete this blog. A special thanks to him. This blog is a little bit special as you will able to see a youtube video on a youtube channel known as " The Palleidoscope " run by Dr. Pallabi Ghosh.
