Companion Animal-Veterinarians
Although they are only one group of
veterinarians, companion animal vets make up the
majority. About 75 percent of private-practice
veterinarians in any Oxford Animal Hospital work
with companion animals. These small-animal
veterinarians are akin to primary care doctors
who treat patients. They can diagnose and treat
injuries, perform surgeries, prescribe
medication, and administer vaccines.
Veterinary Specialists
Veterinarians can choose from many specialties,
just like doctors who work with patients.
Anesthesiology and dentistry are some of the
career options. Any Veterinary Clinic in Oxford
MS can also choose to specialize in one or more
species of animal, such as cats, dogs, birds, and
wildlife. Vet specialists are consultants for
other vets who require a specific type of
equipment or expertise. Each role requires
different skills, so daily tasks will differ
greatly between specialties.
5
Food-Animal Veterinarians
Food animal veterinarians are responsible for the
safety of food animals that have been raised for
human consumption. However, many large-animal
vets are not required to do so. Regardless of
their focus, the AVMA says that these vets are
responsible for the welfare and prevention of
disease in food animals. They might work on farms
or ranches, but they also spend a lot of time
traveling.
Food Safety And Inspection Veterinarians
Both food animal veterinarians, as well as food
safety and inspection vets, have roles to play in
keeping edible products safe. However, they are
not always the same. Many experts point to the
fact that they often collaborate with the Food
Safety and Inspection Service to enforce
regulations. These veterinarians can inspect
animals and their products to make sure they are
safe. They might have to quarantine infected
animals in order to prevent the disease from
spreading to humans. Others are responsible for
ensuring the safety of medication and additives.
