Veterinary Surgeon

A veterinary surgeon, often called a vet, is a medical professional who diagnoses and treats illnesses, injuries, and diseases in animals. Vets work with a variety of animals, including pets, farm animals, and sometimes even wildlife. Their duties include performing surgeries, prescribing medications, carrying out health checks, and providing advice to animal owners on diet and care. Veterinary surgeons can work in private practices, animal hospitals, research institutions, or with government organisations. The role requires strong scientific knowledge, compassion, and excellent communication skills, as vets often need to explain complex medical conditions to pet owners.
