Why is veterinary medicine important to our society?
Veterinarians are important for several reasons. First they help to protect animal health by examining, diagnosing and treating many diseases and conditions of domesticated animals. This ranges from preventing parvovirus in puppies through vaccination to removing bladder stones in rabbits to floating teeth in horses to allow them to eat properly. Second, veterinarians help protect human health. One of the main ways veterinarians do this is by vaccinating domesticated animals (particularly dogs, but also cats, horses and cattle) against rabies. Prior to mandatory vaccination of dogs against rabies, dozens of people became infected with rabies every year in the United States. Veterinarians are also involved in many aspects of public health, ranging from inspecting meat and poultry products to improving sanitation in communities to prevent contamination of drinking water. Third, veterinarians help improve the lives of both animals and humans through everything from investigating disease outbreaks to helping develop new drugs and medical technologies to educating both veterinarians and non-veterinarians.

How many species do veterinarians care for?
Most veterinarians limit their practice to less than ten species, and many limit to just two or three. In the United States, small animal veterinarians primarily see dogs and cats (two species), although some may also see reptiles, birds, rodents or other non-traditional species. Large animal veterinarians tend to see cows, pigs, sheep and goats (four species), although depending upon the area may also see bison, llama and alpacas. Equine veterinarians specifically handle only horses (one species).
Why do veterinarian help animals?

Can a vet get promoted?

What's to like about a veterinary career?
Maybe you can find some things a Vet can be happy with below.Veterinarians care for the health of pets, livestock, and animals in zoos, racetracks, and laboratories. 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 our knowledge of animals and medical science, and in applied research, developing new ways to use knowledge. Most veterinarians diagnose animal health problems; vaccinate against diseases, such as distemper and rabies; medicate animals suffering from infections or illnesses; treat and dress wounds; set fractures; perform surgery; and advise owners about animal feeding, behavior, and breeding. According to the American Medical Veterinary Association, more than 70 percent of veterinarians who work in private medical practices predominately, or exclusively, treat small animals. Small-animal practitioners usually care for companion animals, such as dogs and cats, but also treat birds, reptiles, rabbits, ferrets, and other animals that can be kept as pets. About one-fourth of all veterinarians work in mixed animal practices, where they see pigs, goats, cattle, sheep, and some wild animals in addition to companion animals. A small number of private-practice veterinarians work exclusively with large animals, mostly horses or cattle; some 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 animals. These veterinarians test for and vaccinate against diseases and consult with farm or ranch owners and managers regarding animal production, feeding, and housing issues. They also treat and dress wounds, set fractures, and perform surgery, including cesarean sections on birthing animals. Other veterinarians care for zoo, aquarium, or laboratory animals. Veterinarians of all types euthanize animals when necessary. Veterinarians who treat animals use medical equipment such as stethoscopes, surgical instruments, and diagnostic equipment, including radiographic and ultrasound equipment. Veterinarians working in research use a full range of sophisticated laboratory equipment. Veterinarians 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 various human health problems. For example, veterinarians contributed greatly in conquering malaria and yellow fever, solved the mystery of botulism, produced an anticoagulant used to treat some people with heart disease, and defined and developed surgical techniques for humans, such as hip and knee joint replacements and limb and organ transplants. Today, some determine the effects of drug therapies, antibiotics, or new surgical techniques by testing them on animals. Some veterinarians are involved in food safety and inspection. Veterinarians who are livestock inspectors, for example, check animals for transmissible diseases, such as E. coli, advise owners on the treatment of their animals, 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. More veterinarians are finding opportunities in food security as they ensure that the Nation has abundant and safe food supplies. Veterinarians involved in food security often work along the Nation's borders as animal and plant health inspectors, where they examine imports and exports of animal products to prevent disease here and in foreign countries. Many of these workers are employed by the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service division. Work environment. Veterinarians in private or clinical practice often work long hours in a noisy indoor environment. Sometimes they have to deal with emotional or demanding pet owners. When working with animals that are frightened or in pain, veterinarians risk being bitten, kicked, or scratched. Veterinarians in large-animal practice spend time driving between their office and farms or ranches. They work outdoors in all kinds of weather and may have to treat animals or perform surgery, under unsanitary conditions. Veterinarians working in nonclinical areas, such as public health and research, have working conditions similar to those of other professionals in those lines of work. These veterinarians enjoy clean, well-lit offices or laboratories and spend much of their time dealing with people rather than animals. Veterinarians often work long hours. Those in group practices may take turns being on call for evening, night, or weekend work; solo practitioners may work extended and weekend hours, responding to emergencies or squeezing in unexpected appointments.Source: U.S. Department of Labpr

What animals can a veterinarian treat?
In the United States, a licensed veterinarian can treat any animal, from a spider to an elephant. However, most veterinarians specialize in one to a few species. Small animal practitioners usually see primarily cats and dogs, although some will also treat pocket pets (hamsters, gerbils, rats, etc.), birds or exotic reptiles (turtles, snakes, iguanas, etc.). Large animal practitioners usually see farm or production animals such as cattle (beef or dairy), pigs, goats, sheep, llamas and alpacas; sometimes these veterinarians will also treat chickens, turkeys and other domestic poultry although in commercial operations a board certified avian veterinarian will be on staff. Horses are generally treated by equine practitioners, zoos have veterinarians with extensive cross-training in multiple exotic species as well as emergency medicine and both large and small animal medicine backgrounds. Marine animals are treated by veterinarians who have specialized in aquatic animals. Lab animals are treated by board certified lab animal medicine veterinarians.
