The story of the hardships and sweat of veterinarians who treat large animals. Generally, the image people have of a veterinarian is one wearing a white coat and treating animals in a clean hospital. However, the workplace of a large animal veterinarian, who specializes in treating large animals such as cattle and horses, is often located in the middle of a filthy barn, and their clothes are often covered in filth after a surgery. Even cattle, which are usually docile animals, struggle and butt with their horns when they become agitated, so the veterinarian's safety cannot be guaranteed. They must travel hundreds of kilometers to visit as many as ten or more farms a day, and there are more days when they eat hastily than when they properly prepare a meal. In critical situations involving difficult births where every second counts, a large animal veterinarian’s life involves rushing to the scene regardless of the time.
