Veterinarians are physicians who are responsible for the prevention and treatment of common infections as well as various diseases of animals.

Veterinarians do many things. In the past, their focus was diagnosing and treating animals' infectious diseases, but with changes in the sociocultural environment and rapid economic growth, new animal care technologies were developed for conservation of wild and aquatic animals and research on life sciences.

Veterinarians are divided into clinical veterinarians and nonclinical veterinarians. Clinical veterinarians are divided into small animals and large animals in the animal hospital. Nonclinical veterinarians refer to veterinarians who work for government officials or research.

Veterinarians should do everything for animals with their capabilities and abilities that people can trust them.

A veterinarian in an interview said that it is very important that you like animals because you are there for the purpose of treating them. In addition to these things, animals cannot express their pain, so they need a lot of observations and surgical treatments to catch it.
