Depending on the school, some are 2 years classroom work, 2 years clinicals. My school is 2 and a half years classroom work, a year and half clinicals. Either way, it's still 4 years. I start my clinicals after my 1st semester of my 3rd year which is coming up soon. I knew what kind of animals I wanted to work with before I got into vet school, the only change I've made since then is my decision to go into a specialty. So, I'll have another 4 years after I graduate.

Small like guinea pigs? I'll try to find out how to do that... I believe my husband wrote a SOP for someone who does research on them...
And it does not seem lab animal vet for rodents and others is not going to "drastically change" for academia in the near future. It may be not as many animals, but it will still exist for sometime...
So if you go that route, rather than private practice, remember, a lot of path and utter memorization... The ACLAM Diplomate status is like WOW!!!
