This page has
the relevant information about veterinary science
providing you the details of nationally accredited schools
that teach you to become a Veterinary Assistant. The
animal care courses emphasize the veterinary assistant
sciences; veterinary medical colleges typically teach
classes in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics,
biochemistry, general veterinary biology, animal biology,
animal nutrition, genetics, vertebrate embryology,
cellular biology, microbiology, zoology, and systemic
physiology.
Veterinary
Science is the study of animals ,diagnosis ,healthcare
and treating them .The
branch of Science that deals
with the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and
injuries of animals, especially domestic animals.
Veterinarians play a major role in the
healthcare of pets, livestock, and zoo, sporting, and laboratory animals. Some veterinarians use their skills to
protect humans against diseases carried by animals and conduct clinical research on human and animal health problems.
Others work in basic research, broadening the scope of fundamental theoretical knowledge, and in applied research,
developing new ways to use knowledge.
Most veterinarians involve in
clinical activities in their home practices. Most of these
veterinarians treat small animals. Usually these
practitioners care for companion animals that can be kept
as pets. Some veterinarians work in mixed animal practices
where they see pigs, goats, sheep, and some non domestic
animals, in addition to companion animals. Those who are
in clinical practices diagnose animal health problems
,provide vaccination for diseases like distemper and
rabies ,medicate animals suffering from infections or
illness ,treat and dress wounds ,set fractures ,perform
surgery ,and advise owners about animal feeding ,behaviour
and breeding.
A small
number of private practice veterinarians work exclusively
with large animals, focusing mostly on horses or cows but
may also care for various kinds of food animals. These
veterinarians usually drive to farms or ranches to provide
veterinary services for herds or individual animals. Much
of this work involves preventive care to maintain the
health of the food animals. These veterinarians test for
and vaccinate against diseases and consult with farm or
ranch owners and managers on animal production, feeding,
and housing issues. They also treat and dress wounds, set
fractures, and perform surgery including cesarean sections
on birthing animals. Veterinarians also euthanize animals
when necessary. Other veterinarians care for zoo,
aquarium, or laboratory animals.
Veterinarians who treat animals use medical equipment, such as stethoscopes; surgical instruments;
and diagnostic equipment, such as radiographic and ultra-sound equipment. Veterinarians working in research use a
full range of sophisticated laboratory equipment.
Veterinarians can contribute to human as well as animal
health. A number of veterinarians work with physicians and scientists as they research ways to prevent and treat
human health problems, such as cancer, AIDS, and alcohol or drug abuse. Some determine the effects of drug therapies,
antibiotics, or new surgical techniques by testing them on animals.
Some veterinarians are involved in food
safety at various levels. Veterinarians who are livestock inspectors check animals for transmissible diseases, advise
owners on treatment, and may quarantine animals. Veterinarians who are meat, poultry, or egg product inspectors
examine slaughtering and processing plants, check live animals and carcasses for disease, and enforce government
regulations regarding food purity and sanitation.
