The need for a specialist who could treat animals has appeared since man began to domesticate them. In modern society, the profession of a veterinarian is still necessary and important. It is this specialist that people turn to when their pets become ill. If there are no veterinarians, there will simply be no one to treat cats and dogs.
A little history
As already emphasized, the veterinarian profession has a long history. Initially, animal healers used decoctions and infusions of herbs to combat illnesses. People of the above profession were required to accompany armies and travel with caravans.
Since the veterinary service had not yet formed into an independent structure, in ancient times epidemics often broke out on the planet, as a result of which livestock died en masse, which had a negative impact on demography, since people simply died from hunger.
As a result, veterinary schools began to be formed in the Middle Ages. In Russia, the veterinarian profession began to emerge thanks to Tsar Peter I, who invited several foreign animal healers to work in our country. As a result, Russian specialists adopted experience from their Western colleagues.
What is remarkable about this profession?
The profession of a veterinarian is a relevant and in demand type of activity. The main task of a specialist in healing our little brothers is to treat diseases and carry out procedures such as sterilization, castration, childbirth, insemination, vaccinations, and so on.
In villages and villages, veterinarians are also involved in monitoring the use of harmful chemicals that can find their way into pet food mixtures. Moreover, people of the above profession carry out mandatory control of food products (milk, meat, etc.), which subsequently end up on the shelves of grocery stores.
Currently, there is a veterinary office in almost every locality. Of course, in large cities, veterinary services are a more extensive and organized structure than in the periphery.
Today a person can apply to both public and private ones. Recently, commercial structures have begun to open quite often. However, a private veterinarian often tries to delay the treatment process, guided solely by selfish motives. In order not to throw money down the drain, first check the reputation of the veterinary institution where you intend to seek help.
What qualities should a veterinarian have?
Naturally, every healer is simply obliged to love animals. Such qualities as altruism and endurance should not be alien to him. Without this, it will be very difficult to provide quality assistance to your four-legged friend: perform gastric lavage or stitch up a lacerated wound. At the same time, the veterinarian’s sense of sentimentality is relegated to the background. He must have nerves of steel, he must show maximum composure and be able to quickly make decisions in unforeseen situations.
A true professional is capable of not only treating dogs and cats in a bright and spacious office, he is always ready for technically dangerous and not always pleasant procedures.
In addition to this, he must be a good psychologist, since animals cannot convey their experiences and complaints through means, and the veterinarian’s task is to “read” them.
What else should a veterinarian know?
A doctor treating our little brothers must keep medical records of animals. He is obliged to make an accurate diagnosis and select the correct treatment for his four-legged friend. An experienced veterinarian can also conduct laboratory tests.
How to choose a veterinary clinic
Many pet owners believe that if a veterinary institution charges high prices for its services, it means that it employs first-class specialists. In fact, this is far from the case. You should first of all pay attention to how long the clinic has been on the veterinary services market and whether its doctors have sufficient experience.
In addition, look at how technically equipped it is, how modern its equipment is. Also analyze the sanitary and epidemiological situation: dust, poorly washed floors and dirt on the tiles are a sign that it is better to refuse service in this establishment.
Among other things, the clinic should be located as close to home as possible and operate 24 hours a day.
Make your choice of a veterinary institution in advance, and not when there is an urgent need to help the animal.
How much do veterinarians earn?
The standard salary for an animal doctor in a government agency varies from 10,000 rubles to 25,000 rubles per month.
The cost of a consultation with a private veterinarian averages from 500 to 1,500 rubles. The salary of a veterinarian in a commercial clinic is from 25,000 to 35,000 rubles per month.

Prospects for the profession
Some people are interested in what heights in their careers an animal healer can achieve. Most of the students, already in their senior years, become orderlies in clinics and hospitals that treat animals on a professional basis. This helps them gain the necessary work experience that is required when applying for jobs after graduating. The highest level of the career ladder for an animal doctor is the chief physician of a veterinary institution.
A veterinarian is a special medical specialty that involves medicine not for humans, but for animals (veterinary medicine). The same applies to agriculture. A veterinarian studies many more disciplines than a medical doctor. The list of animals that are required to study their anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, microbiology, etc. includes: horse, large and small cattle, pig, dog, cat, rabbit, mouse, poultry, camel, etc. In addition to general disciplines, veterinarian knows also private ones - private physiology (for example, dogs), diseases of bees and fish, as well as veterinary and sanitary examination of animal raw materials (leather, fur, meat, milk, fish, etc.).

Veterinarian salaries are generally not very high and there are few career prospects. Most likely, you will have to start as an assistant veterinarian, then, after a couple of years, with the acquisition of work experience, you will become an independent veterinarian. A veterinarian can conduct a private practice, but here the income will be unstable and will depend on the number of patients, work experience, type and complexity of the problem.
Details
Describing everything a veterinarian needs to know is not easy. The profession, of course, is ancient; much of it is based on traditional methods of treatment. But the modern world does not tolerate only herbalists and healers.
Today, a veterinarian needs to know not at all folk legends about the proportions in which to mix plantain and coltsfoot to cure an upset stomach in a horse, but the anatomy and physiology of animals. Knowledge of the latest trends and innovations in pharmaceutical science will also be required.
What does a veterinarian need to know when applying to an educational institution?
If you want to enroll in training for this profession, first of all, what a veterinarian needs to know are school subjects: biology, chemistry, mathematics and Russian. After all, it is the results of these subjects that will be taken into account when entering a university, and knowledge on them will be very useful in the learning process. Of course, biology is the first and main thing a veterinarian needs to know. But chemistry is also important in order to better understand the processes occurring in the body, the effect of drugs on it, and the mechanisms of cell interaction.
Many veterinarians, chuckling, say that a veterinarian will diagnose a person faster than a general practitioner, because a veterinarian is a general practitioner and studies absolutely all aspects of healing at a university. After all, the volume that a veterinarian needs to know is enormous. They have no specialization, and every doctor must be ready to perform any medical action. A veterinarian and a therapist, a surgeon, an obstetrician, a cosmetologist, a nutritionist, a dentist, an ophthalmologist, and a traumatologist at the same time.
A veterinarian must know everything and have basic knowledge in all areas of medicine. The breadth of a veterinarian's horizons will give odds to a human doctor. Some division by specialization exists only in large cities, where there are many veterinary clinics and the doctor has the opportunity to focus on one area, for example, dentistry.
What should a veterinarian know?
A qualified veterinarian must be able to treat anyone, not only domestic animals (cats, dogs, parrots or snakes), but also farm animals (cows, horses, goats, birds, bees and fish, and even ostriches, there are also ostrich farms in Russia).
What else does a veterinarian need to know?
Anatomy is an interesting science about the structure of the body of a living creature, how animals differ from each other. Physiology tells how the animal’s body works, what physiological life processes take place in it, what is the nature of nerve impulses, how the blood circulation process occurs, and much more. These are the basic disciplines that a veterinarian needs to know; without them it is impossible to become a doctor.
But beyond that, future veterinarians need to know a little bit about everything. Also, a student who wants to become a good specialist must also read scientific literature. Of course, veterinary faculties also have practical classes.
In addition to everything that a veterinarian needs to know theoretically, a true professional is shaped by experience. The more extensive and versatile this practical experience is, the better the veterinarian will be, and the better his demand on the labor market will be. After all, only a wealthy person can work out of altruistic motives, and there are not many of them. The majority still need to live on something.
A good veterinarian not only treats pets, but also teaches their owners how to properly handle their pets. Therefore, the veterinarian also needs to know psychological science. This is especially important when communicating with owners of exotic animals, since in our country there are almost no veterinarians who treat diseases of such animals.
There is so much a veterinarian needs to know and be able to do, but the main thing a veterinarian needs is, of course, a great love for animals and a desire to help them, this will help to overcome all difficulties, of which there will be many, and become a good doctor.
The profession of a veterinarian is very necessary and in demand and brings not only difficulties, but also very often gives joyful moments. These are the moments when the doctor sees the result of his labors - a rescued pet and the joyful smiles of its owners.
