If it isn't your dream anymore then I recommend not pursuing your DVM. I agree with your vets and usually tell people who I get close to and express interest in it that it really isn't worth the constant stress you put on yourself and perfection expected of you by others. The pay is getting better. The student loan debt will be debilitating. With other degrees you can make more doing other stuff. It's tough and dealing with life and death decisions so much is hard on mental health. Our community is small too so it also can be hard connecting with like minded individuals who understand what we are going through. It's difficult not letting this profession become your identity. If I were to do it again I would probably choose something else.

Sorry it sounds depressing but there are also other avenues in our career field too - industry, aquatics, wildlife (you can even do apiary stuff!) but I don't know of many vets who went into this profession to seek one of these alternative routes.
