What is "veterinary medicine"?
Veterinary medicine is the branch of healthcare focused on the medical care of animals. Veterinary professionals diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses and injuries in various animal species, including pets, livestock, zoo animals, and wildlife. They perform physical examinations, give vaccinations, prescribe medications, and perform surgeries as needed to maintain the health and well-being of animals. Veterinary medicine also includes preventive care, such as advising on nutrition, parasite control, and behavior management, to ensure animals lead healthy lives.
