You do realize that by going towards vet school, you're going to be very far away from ever getting out of school since it's about an 8 year journey after highschool. LOL says the one who is now in their 20th consecutive year of "school" starting at kindergarden.

It is a great goal and if you're enjoying science now and have the "guts" to investigate animal deaths, you're on your way there!

Sorry, I meant out of high school.

I suggest you start the chick with the injured toe on antibiotics asap. Being as young as it is the immune system if pretty poorly developed and an infection can get into the blood stream (sepsis) and kill a small chick very quickly.
