Veterinary Medicine List and Uses
Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and injuries in animals, particularly in domesticated animals.
It encompasses a wide range of species, including companion animals (such as dogs, cats, and birds), livestock (such as cattle, sheep, and pigs), exotic animals, wildlife, and sometimes even humans, in the context of zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans).
