A veterinarian works to research, diagnose and treat animals for health-related problems. Animals treated can range from household pets to livestock.
Veterinarians are not only compassionate about animal life, but they are also interested in the science of how animals behave and act. They should be able to understand animal anatomy, medications, diseases and breeding habits.
Communication plays a vital role with both the animals and their owners, and that is why veterinarians have become some of the most respected professionals in science. They can be employed by the government, medical clinics, colleges, zoos, research companies and many other companies.
