English speaking vet recommendations?
Main Post:
We got 2 young guinea pigs 6 weeks ago and I would like to know if anyone could recommend an English speaking vet that isn't too far away. (they're fine now, but I'd like to be prepared)
- We live near a station on the Keio-line, close to Shinjuku.
- Guinea pigs are considered "exotic", so not all vets can help them.
- I can speak daily Japanese, but definitely no medical stuff.
Thanks in advance!
Top Comment: Komazawa Animal Hospital . He's taken excellent care of our guinea pigs and the other creatures we have pet-sit over the years. Bit of a ways from the nearest station, but the vet speaks solid English. Also charges very reasonable rates. Overall well worth the trip.

"Animal Doctor" or "Vet"?
Main Post:
Which one is more common to say?
And is it ok to just call them "Doctor" when you're at their clinic?
Top Comment: In all the major English-speaking countries, veterinarian is the standard term for the profession, or vet for short. You might say "animal doctor" to a young child. Doctor is the standard way to address a vet in a professional setting. In continental Europe and North America, this is because a vet has completed a doctorate-level degree. Elsewhere, you can become a vet after a specialized bachelor's program, but "doctor" is used a courtesy title reflecting their professional standing.
Study vet med in Europe?
Main Post:
Hi everyone! So I’m a high school senior right now, and would like to study vet med for the future. I’m looking into different places for vet med, mostly in the UK and Aus. However, I knew that there are some university in Europe providing programs in English (mostly in Eastern Europe if I’m not mistaken?) I have been considering studying in the Europe for a long time (mostly due to the tuition), but I’m not sure about it. Can anyone share some experience/ recommendations to me please? For example, how is the school life there? Is it difficult to communicate with others or find a placement? Thank you very much!
Some bkg on me: come from Hong Kong and studying in the US. Don’t really have a preferred place for work, but due to the language barrier, I would say... maybe Hong Kong/ Taiwan/ any English-speaking country will be better. (I can only speak Cantonese, English, Mandarin and very limited Spanish)
Top Comment: Hi there, I am a second year vet student in Slovakia. If you would like to message me I am happy to answer anything!
European Vet Schools Outside of the UK
Main Post:
Hey everyone, i'm an international student and i'm hoping to get more information regarding the various vet schools in europe outside of the UK that are taught in english.
So far, I've narrowed my options down to the 2 universities listed below:
- Latvia University of Life Sciences & Technology (LBTU)
- Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU)
- University website seems much more updated and easy to understand what the course entails + facilities available
However, there isn't much else that I can find online.
Hopefully those who have gone to these schools could share abit more about your experiences there? Those who went to other vet schools in europe, if you don't mind sharing, which school did you go and would you recommend others to apply? Why? What makes the programme / degree worth going for? I am considering the environment (e.g. safety) and quality of the teachers, curriculum and facilities present on campus.
Thank you so much in advance! I really just want to get a better idea of the quality of schools in europe and what they offer :)))
Top Comment: Go to one that's AVMA accredited and save yourself from the headache of ECFVG Doubt those 2 you listed are avma
What does this mean? "Jeg vet ikke jeg"
Main Post:
Hey everyone,
I've come across something that's confusing to me, where a sentence starts and ends with a pronoun.
Here are some examples:
- Jeg vet ikke jeg.
- Han vet ikke han.
- Hun vet ikke hun.
- De vet ikke de.
My questions are:
- What's the purpose of placing a pronoun at the start and end of a sentence?
- Are there any rules regarding starting and ending a sentence with a pronoun?
- Is starting and ending a sentence with a pronoun common in both written and oral Norwegian?
Top Comment: It's just a flourish to add the pronoun at the end. Spoken only, just to vary the language. In some countries they use an equivalent in english: "Me I don't know."
