Animal medicine, or veterinary medicine, involves diagnosing, treating, and preventing health issues in animals. Veterinarians use medical knowledge, tools, and medications to care for a wide range of species, from pets to farm animals and wildlife. The goal is to improve animal well-being, prevent diseases, and sometimes protect human health through zoonotic disease control. Treatments may include surgeries, vaccinations, medications, nutritional advice, and wellness checks. Veterinary medicine combines science, compassion, and practical skills to ensure animals live healthy, comfortable lives and support human-Animal relationships.
