No, a veterinarian is only qualified to treat animals. Humans, while anatomically similar, have enough differences in their anatomy and physiology that a veterinarian cannot properly perform surgery.

However, veterinarians are trained to recognize zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans) and can tell the human owners what general symptoms to be looking out for and what to tell their doctors about if they have any problems.
