Answers for all your veterinary questions
The definition of a veterinary doctor or veterinarian is a professional who treats diseases, disorders, and injuries in animals. This includes diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare. The scope of practice, specialty, and experience of the individual veterinarian will dictate exactly what interventions they perform, but most will also perform surgery.
Once the vet graduates from veterinary school, he or she is licensed to treat all animals, though some veterinary professionals get additional training to specialize in certain animals such as birds or large animals.
It can be hard to decide if a pet needs to visit the vet, especially as it can mean trauma for your pet to travel, and weekend and late-night questions create special problems. The veterinary Experts on JustAnswer are available any time, and can provide diagnoses, guidance and advice.
