It is impossible to say who the first veterinarian was because it goes as far back as Roman times and I am sure further back than that. Veterinarian was not part of the vocabulary at that time and often they would be called simply "horse doctor," or "animal doctor". Doctors who cared for humans would often care for a sick animal as well. Even the practitioners who cared for the horses in the Roman Army were called �veterinarii� and veterinary science progressed in Europe with the first veterinary school being chartered at Lyons, France in 1762. The occurrence of animal disease was surrounded by mystery, superstition and ignorance because the physicians were not much better informed. As often, the problem was simple � the cure was not. The scientists approached both human and animal disease with fundamental knowledge and an effort to establish a cause and to affect a cure. Often, when an animal was sick a Ferrier or herdsman would approach the animal with a bag full of roots and herbs, with some witchcraft and moronic mentality that the more it hurts, the better it heals.

The very first American veterinarian was Richard Peters and was a great benefactor of veterinary medicine. Later in years, Dr. Isaiah Michener became a well known veterinarian and started his practice in 1836.
A veterinarian or veterinarian physician is an animal doctor and the name came about in 1646. It was first used by Thomas Browne and comes from the Latin word "veterinae" which means "working animals."
The first modern school of veterinary medicine was founded in Lyon, France in the 1860s by Dr. Claude Bourgelat. Its charter mission was to train veterinary professionals to address the recurring outbreaks of rinderpest, which was decimating the French cattle herd and leading to widespread recurring famines.
There are no records of the first vet, only men who over the years solved mysteries of the effects unhealthy animals had on humans.

If a college has an accredited school of veterinary medicine, it's a good vet school - the accreditation process is very strict. In the United States there are 28 schools of veterinary medicine. Around the world, most countries have at least one school of veterinary medicine and many of the first world countries have several.
For modern veterinary medicine, this would be Dr. Claude Bourgelat. He founded the first modern school of veterinary medicine in Lyon, France in 1862.
Yes. It is UC (University of California) Davis School of Veterinary Medicine :)
Modern veterinary medicine started with the founding of the first school in Lyon, France in the 1872. Since then, veterinary medicine has benefitted and changed based upon scientific research into anatomy, histology, pathology, pharmacology and other biomedical fields.
Pre-veterinary medicine is what you do before veterinary school (that's what the pre is for). Veterinary medicine is not a major. It isn't done at the undergraduate level but rather the graduate level. In order to get into vet school you must complete the pre-veterinary requirements and most likey you will need a bachelor's degree in some field.
Veterinary medicine is a school subject. It begins with the letter V.
