Microscopic video/photos taken of ear mites seen in a cat's ear today. 🔬

What you’re seeing under the microscope is exactly what these parasites look like: tiny, fast-moving, and incredibly irritating to your pet.

These microscopic parasites live in the ears and can cause serious itching, discomfort, and even infections if left untreated.

Common signs to watch for:
🐱 Frequent scratching or head shaking
🐱 Dark and crusty ear wax
🐱 Red, irritated, or itchy ears

Ear mites are highly contagious and can spread to other pets—but the good news is, they’re easy to treat!

📚💰 What Does It Cost to Become a Vet?
Veterinarians don’t just wake up one day and decide to treat animals — becoming a vet in Australia takes 5 to 7 years of university study, long nights, practical placements… and a very big financial commitment.
🎓 A typical Australian veterinarian start their careers with about $55,000 to $75,000 of HECS/HELP debt but some may exceed $100,000!
That’s just for tuition — it doesn’t include textbooks, equipment, exam fees, or the cost of living while studying full-time for six years.
💡 Unlike many other degrees, veterinary science falls into one of the highest contribution tiers in the student loan system. And that’s for domestic students in subsidised places — for international or full-fee students, the cost can be far higher.
And here’s the kicker: this debt starts accumulating before they even see their first paying patient.

🐴 So Why Are We Sharing This?
We often hear comments like:
“It was just a quick visit… Why is it so expensive?”

The truth is: by the time your vet walks into the room, they’ve already invested years of their life and tens of thousands of dollars just to be legally allowed to help your animal.
Veterinary care is complex. It’s also regulated, specialised, and backed by a profession that requires a huge upfront investment — both financially and emotionally.
So next time you’re at the clinic, know that behind that stethoscope is someone who didn’t just study to become a vet…
👉 They paid a very real price for the privilege.
