Why do I want to be a vet?

When I was a child, my first dream was to become an actor, because I like movies and that stuffs, but I realized that I'm a timid person and I don't know hot to talk in public.
 Since then I always wanted to be a vet, because I like the animal world and I liked the TV show ''La Ley de la Selva'' xD, I always wanted to be like te persons of that program, people that helps the animals. And when it comes the time to chose my future career my only option was Veterinarian Medicine, and fortunately I'm studying what I always wanted.
 Until now, my thoughts about the University are that it's a great place, it gives you the oportunity to come closer to the veterinarian world, and it has a lot of activities that allows you to learn things about the animals. Also I like that it has a place with different animals, you can interact with them when you want.
 About my future work, I don't have so much clear the path that I'm gonna take, Vet Medicine it has so many options to choose, I like exotic animals, or medicine in big animals, or wild animals, I'm not sure, but I'm certainly sure that I want to dedicate my life for the animals.

Webquest 2

A) About Cows:
1. What are the  5 most common pathologies of cows? Mention them and give a little description too.

Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex (BRDC):

Stress is a major contributor to BRDC. Events such as weaning, dehorning, shipping and weather changes can compromise the animal's immune system, making it susceptible to disease-causing viruses and bacteria. Although stress cannot be eliminated entirely from the cow/calf operation, it can be reduced through careful handling and sanitary conditions.

Bovine Virus Diarrhea (BVD):
 Signs may include scours, nasal discharge, coughing and fever. BVD can also cause infertility, abortion and birth defects. Type 2 BVD can cause hemorrhaging and death in susceptible young calves and adult cows.

IBR (Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis)
This highly contagious virus causes respiratory disease, abortions and infertility. Signs include inflamed nasal passages, fever, rapid breathing, deep cough and loss of appetite.

Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida
These highly infectious bacteria are a major cause of pneumonia, and the most commonly found pathogens in cattle dying of respiratory disease. Signs include depression, lethargy, loss of appetite and high fever.

Pinkeye
It can affect all ages of cattle and it is highly contagious.  Multiple strains of bacteria can cause the disease, and it can be difficult to determine which one is the culprit in your herd.  In the early stages of pinkeye, the animal will be very sensitive to light, and you may see a bluish spot on the lens of the eye, followed by watery discharge. 

  2. Publish a picture of the cow's digestive system (with names)

 
3. Publish a picture of the cow's external anatomy  (with names)
  

B) Choose one of these farm animals:  pig, horse or rabbit.

1. Choose a good website that refers to your animal. Explain why you like the website. (40 words)

http://www.thehorse.com/

This is a website of a magazine dedicated to all the horse lovers, I think that it's a complete website about horses, it has a lot of information about the diseases and different forms of taking care of the health of your horse. 
The only problem is tha you want to know more about a topic, you will have to buy the magazine :(


2. Find a good picture showing (with names) the animal's external anatomy.

A song...

One of my favorites songs is ''Father and Son'' of Yusuf Islam (more known as Cat Stevens). He born as Steven Demetre Georgiu, but he is known by his artistic name: Cat Stevens. Later, on 1977 Stevens converted to Islam and changing his name to Yusuf Islam the next year.
This popular song is from the album of 1970 ''Tea for the Tillerman'' and it talks about a father that don't understand the desires of his son, and the son that it wants to change his life and follow his own way. Stevens uses a deep voice to characterize the father and a higher tone to the son.
I like this song because it remembers me my father, who died the last year. I'm not a sentimental person, but this song makes me sad and happy at the same time because I remember the good moments that I spent with my dad and it's a beautiful tribute to him. :)

What's my opinion about...

• Same sex relationships?

In my opinion, I think that it's good, it's a decision of each person and we should respect his option and not criticate or discriminate them, I completely disagree with the people that don't respect homosexual people.

Speaking for myself, it's one of my favorites topics on movies, because I like to see another differents worlds and times, or a futuristic world, I think that it's very fun and enjoyable.

• Facebook?

I belive that it's a good social networking red, you can chat with your friends, and even you can find your childhood friends which you loose the contact with them, however, some people it's very addicted to this page, and I think that it's not very healthy.

• Having exotic pets?

Exotic pets requires so much care, because they're living in other different enviroment, so, if you take care of them with responsability, I think that it's not a problem havin exotic pets.

• Tattos and Piercings?

Speaking for myself, I like the tattos, it looks great, but not the piercings, at least, I don't imagine to me use some sort of that things, but I don't have a problem that other people uses piercings, it's decision of each one.

the Biography of Sonik

Hello, my parents called me Iván Zapata Pichinao, but my friends preferred to called me Sonik, I was born on 1996 on Santiago of Chile. I have a brother and two sisters, and I am the youngest member of my family.

When I was a kid I studied in Juana Atala de Hirmas, an elementary school located in Renca, where I live, then I finished my high school studies in Liceo José Victorino Lastarria, where I earned my precious nickname.

Since my childhood, I always wanted to study Veterinary Medicine, because I always liked the animals and I want to learn and help them. Fortunately, I started recently to study what I most wanted in the Universidad de Chile. I hope to finish my studies and become a great veterinary.

what I most like to do in my free time it's listen music, play video games and watch a lot of TV shows, specially sitcoms and drama series. And that, it's practically a little bit of my life.
