Most people probably think that veterinarians exam animals and determine what is wrong with them and treat accordingly. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, There are many fields that veterinarians can specialize in. One, much like humans, is anesthesia. They are needed when an animal undergoes surgery. Another is a specialty in dentistry. These doctors will perform procedures on the teeth of various animals.
There are veterinarians who specialize in certain animals, ones who work with zoo animals, and even vets who solely work in the lab analyzing biology work.
