Veterinary
medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the
prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, disorder, and injury
in animals. Along with this, it also deals with animal rearing, husbandry,
breeding, research on nutrition and product development. The scope of
veterinary medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild,
with a wide range of conditions which can affect different species.
Veterinary
medicine is widely practiced, both with and without professional supervision.
Professional care is most often led by a veterinary physician (also
known as a vet, veterinary surgeon or veterinarian), but also by paraveterinary
workers such as veterinary nurses or technicians. This can be augmented by
other paraprofessionals with specific specialisms such as animal physiotherapy or dentistry,
and species relevant roles such as farriers.
Veterinary
science helps human health through the monitoring and control of zoonotic
disease (infectious disease transmitted from non-human animals to
humans), food safety, and indirectly through human applications from basic
medical research. They also help to maintain food supply through livestock
health monitoring and treatment, and mental health by keeping pets healthy and
long-living. Veterinary scientists often collaborate with epidemiologists and
other health or natural scientists, depending on type of work. Ethically,
veterinarians are usually obliged to look after animal welfare. Veterinarians
diagnose, treat, and help keep animals safe and healthy.
