| What is this job like? When an animal is sick, vets examine it to find out why. They look
for clues in the way an animal looks, acts, and smells. For example, if
a dog is walking in a strange way, that might be because it hurt its
leg. Vets need to look carefully because animals can't say what is
wrong. Most vets treat small pets, including dogs, cats, and gerbils. But a
few focus on large animals, such as sheep, cows, and horses.
Large-animal vets usually drive to ranches and stables where their
patients live. They check for infections in the animals and give advice
to the animals' owners. Often, they help when the animals give birth. |
