JOB DESCRIPTION: A veterinarian diagnoses and treats animal diseases, disorders, and injuries. To determine treatment, the veterinarian examines the animal patient using a variety of techniques such as blood tests, X-rays, and observation. After evaluation, veterinarians through the prescription and administration of drugs and medicine, or using surgical procedures treat animal patients. Veterinarians may focus their practice on one type of animal such as pets, livestock, or zoo animals, and may work in private or group practice. Veterinarians can also find employment in research, food inspection, or education.
