A Brief History of Veterinary Medicine
A veterinary surgeon deals with the health and welfare of animals; they diagnose and treat diseases and injuries in household pets, livestock, zoo animals and wildlife. They also promote public health by fighting diseases which can be transmitted from animals to humans and by inspecting livestock and food processing procedures to make sure the food supply is safe. Some vets work on wildlife preservation and conservation, whilst others work in research to find the causes and ways to prevent and cure diseases.
